SUMMARY:Countering Islamophobia Online: New Strategies and Campaigns in Cyberspace
DESCRIPTION:
 Speaker:  Sahar Khamis, Ph.D.\n
 \n
 Muslims have 
 been globally using the internet not just as 
 a window to see the world and to be seen by the 
 world, but also as a tool to push back against 
 theirmisrepresentation and marginalization. 
 Dr. Khamis tackles the efforts of modern 
 Muslims to deploy digital media to resist their 
 negative stereotypes, rectify their images, 
 and spread correct awareness about their faith 
 tradition and their multifaceted identities, 
 amid a rising global wave of Islamophobia, 
 through adopting new strategies and tactics, 
 including online campaigns. Her talk unpacks 
 the double-edged sword effect of social media, 
 and digitally based discourse, in the contexts 
 of spreading Islamophobia, on one-hand, 
 and countering it, on the other-hand.\n\n
