Oxford: ISIS Magazine presents Clicktivism: Social Media + Social Justice
The revolution, it appears, will be tweeted.
From the Arab Spring to Kony 2012 via Wikileaks and the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge: internet activism has the power to grip the global community and revolutionise charitable and social justice movements.
But likes don’t save lives: does clicktivism detract from traditional forms of protest? How can digital activism attempt to move beyond the computer screen? Is the internet ever a truly democratic space?
Join us for a multimedia panel discussion looking at the context, issues and debate surrounding internet activism, including engagement, marketing, anonymity, counter-cultural appropriation and the future of the protest movement.
When: Thursday 5th wk, 7.30pm Where: Modern Art Oxford £3 on the door
SPEAKERS:
Paul Hilder, Vice-President of Global Campaigns at Change.org, previously Director of Campaigns for Oxfam, co-founder of British online campaigning movement 38degrees.org
Lucy Holmes, writer and founder of the No More Page 3 campaign
Niel Bowerman, co-founder and Director of Special Projects at the Centre for Effective Altruism, G8 Executive Committee, World Economic Forum ‘Global Shaper’
Dr Marianne Franklin, Professor of Global Media & Politics, Goldsmiths University
Mary Joyce (via videolink) author of Digital Activism Decoded, New Media Operations manager for the Obama campaign and founder of the Digital Activism Research Project
