[bestbits] (RIghtsCon) Roundtable on Online Hate Speech (Tomorrow- 9 am)

[Sarvjeet Singh]

Dear All,

We would like to invite you to our Roundtable on *‘Online Hate Speech:
Identification & Strategies
<http://rightscon.sched.org/mobile/#session:a28f3549eb7c4ae3a753ecddd18899d9>’*
 on *31st March* 2016 (tomorrow) from* 9:00 am - 10.15 am *at *the
Nest* (*Conference
Room - 2 on the First Floor)*. Dr. Rob Faris, Research Director of the
Berkman Centre for Internet & Society at Harvard University will moderate
the session.

This is an event that we are co-hosting with the Berkman Center for
Internet and Society at Harvard University, the Dangerous Speech Project
and the Global Network Initiative. It is meant to inform a three-year
project on Online Hate Speech that the Berkman Center is working on with
the Centre for Communication Governance.

Our overall hopes for the session are to generate ideas and initiatives
that we may collectively work on and to reveal areas of consensus and
contention around this issue.

Additional details about the event including the schedule and the list of
speakers are provided at the end of the email.

If you have any questions please do let us know. We hope that many of you
will join us tomorrow morning.

Best,

Sarvjeet
