Digital Wildfires: respond now at the Digital Catapult!

12th Jan 2016

Free

The Digital Wildfires project (University of Oxford) and the CaSMa project (University of Nottingham) are organizing a one-day workshop to discuss the impact of (provocative) social media content, the (responsible) use of social media data and the balance between concerns over the harms cause by social media posts with the rights to freedom of speech.

Our showcase workshop brings together researchers and key stakeholders from government, law enforcement, commerce, education and civil society to foster debate on these important questions. The workshop will include:
• speaker presentations
• a discussion roundtable
• a youth panel
• a keynote address by Baroness Beeban Kidron, founder of the iRights campaign for children and young people
• viewing of artwork produced on the theme of Digital Wildfires
• opportunities for networking and debate
• lunch and refreshments provided.
