Creating Online Chaos: A Short Guide, Celeste Liddle
Creating Online Chaos: A Short Guide, Celeste Liddle
Journal of Global Indigeneity
Activist groups were among the first to recognise the potential of the internet as a tool to organise. Aboriginal people use social media at a significantly higher rate than everyone else, and this trend, though not as pronounced, also holds for feminist networks as well. This session is going to talk briefly about how Celeste Liddle came to use the internet as a tool for social change and draw on examples from her blog, union work and broader to highlight its capacity as an alternate communication tool in a media environment which is still very much dominated by the voices …

Next September it will be a decade since Facebook became available to the general public.

For most, Facebook IS the internet. For a few others however, blogging becomes a goal once they realise the gated community has limitations. This paper will raise questions about how we provide support to those wishing to …

The newest Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) has been met with great opposition due to the decentralization of storytelling through social media outlets, #TMTshutdown.

Journal of Global Indigeneity
Drawing on my PhD research Digital Navigators: Young Pasifika adults navigating Facebook in Aotearoa New Zealand, this presentation highlights points of difference about how Pasifika young adults are using Facebook particularly when it comes to intergenerational family dynamics. Young Pasifika adults are used to being under surveillance from older adults in their families, authorities and the wider community. They are very careful about the content they put on Facebook and are highly aware of protecting younger members of the family from negative experiences on social media. Pasifika peoples in Aotearoa have been strongly conditioned through religious colonisation experiences to be …

As an Indigenous Peoples Human Rights activist I will be speaking on Indigenous movements and the fight for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. My focus has been on the Immigration and Migration of Indigenous Peoples into the state of Arizona and throughout the USA. I am actively engaged in preserving the Cultural and Spiritual rights of Indigenous Peoples along the US and Mexico border, rights which are continuously violated by both the US and Mexican governments. Additionally, the border policies, and military actions by both governments have engaged in wide spread prejudice and discrimination within the US legal and political …
