Youth experiences of racism and discrimination online can range from personal interactions while gaming or on social media to more hidden workings of racially-biased feeds and recommendations. How are youth of color experiencing racism online, either directly or through others — and how is it impacting them? How can an algorithm be “biased” and what does this mean for how modern platforms perpetuate harmful experiences? What can parents or educators do to help?
Join us Tuesday, October 21 at 12:00pm-1:30pm ET for “Online Racism and Youth,” a conversation with the experts on how racism shows up online and on the socio-emotional, mental health, and even physical health impacts of racial discrimination on today’s youth. This session will also provide parents and educators with strategies to empower youth to create more positive online spaces.
Moderator and speaker info coming soon.
