Feminism, race, social media as a social movement

Janni Aragon

To many of us engaged in social media it’s a no brainer that community building is taking place. However, within academic circles the depth of this community building is just beginning to be understood. There are various social movements taking place online and this short talk will speak to how feminists, women of color (racialized women) are connecting on line and building community.

I argue that we are witnessing a reconfiguration of some of the old social movement models on line, as feminists are building community online.
