Description
this open access book gathers feminist and queer scholars with a commitment to intersectional feminism who employ reflexive forms of solidarity as a method for research, activism, pedagogy, community-building, and coalition building in pursuit of anti-racist, decolonial, intersectional feminist futures. Over the last decade, we have seen an uptake in media attention around feminism, which has also led to increased instances of technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV) directed at feminists across online and offline spaces. Social media and digital platforms play a large role in furthering TFGBV hate campaigns. Racialized, gendered, and queer communities are targeted by TFGBV, which as an umbrella term includes online intimidation, hate speech, rape threats, death threats, and public doxxing campaigns. As growing evidence makes clear there are direct connections between online hate and acts of physical violence against these communities. This is particularly so for hate disseminated via disinformation campaigns from organized far right groups online. This connection between online hate and real-life violence is increasingly becoming an ongoing concern for our spaces of post-secondary learning as well. This violence, fueled by targeted disinformation, is not only an urgent public safety issue for Canada but a fundamental human rights issue that threatens teaching and learning, as well as more broadly, democracy and social cohesion. In response, the collection will emerge from an interdisciplinary symposium on digital feminist network-building for national and international scholars invested in exploring what solidarity as a methodology looks like across the social sciences and humanities.
