Where does online hate come from? How do these haters organize themselves to direct hate to certain people? Why do these campaigns of hate happen at all?
The Institute for Rebooting Social Media (RSM) is pleased to welcome 2023-2024 RSM Visiting Scholar Joe Walther and 2024-2025 BKC Fellow Sahana Udupa to discuss the new edited volume, Social Processes of Online Hate, which examines and seeks to explain the social factors that facilitate the spread of hate messages across social media platforms.
This event is part of the RSM Fall Speaker Series.
