In our June webinar, we discuss how we can have healthy conversations about racism online.  How can we influence changes of perspective and promote racial equity?

We are joined by Dr Angelique Nairn, who will discuss her recent research into public service anti-racism campaigns, particularly the Human Rights Commission’s ‘Give nothing to racism’ social marketing campaign which showed that bullying and hate speech can undermine social marketing and attempts to establish social unity.  She will explore the best way to use social media as a tool for promoting racial equity, how to engage audiences and how not-for-profits can stay at the forefront of the conversation online.
