The Social Media Age
For many, Social Media are the first things to look at upon waking and the last thing to do before sleeping. Integrated seamlessly into our private and public lives, they entertain, inform, connect (and sometimes disconnect) us. They’re more than just social though. In addition to our experiences as everyday users, understanding social media also means asking questions about our society, our culture and our economy.
Race, Culture and Media by Anamik Saha
How do media ‘make’ race? How do legacies of empire shape understandings of race & media? How does racism structure the media industries? Is the internet an inherently white space?
Understanding the relationship between race, culture and media has never been more important. From the demonisation of Muslims to rampant new forms of racism on digital platforms, media are central to understanding how race is both constructed and experienced in everyday life.
