Uses Unaddressed: How Social Technologies Tacitly Allow Gender-Based Violence, Brooke Marston Mar 2020

Uses Unaddressed: How Social Technologies Tacitly Allow Gender-Based Violence, Brooke Marston

Comm-entary

Growing technological capabilities have enhanced and intensified the potential for surveillance in many areas of life. Particularly, the placement of advanced technology in the hands of everyday people has produced ample opportunities for interpersonal monitoring. This growing capacity to surveil others we know without sophisticated techniques has concerning implications for acts of gender-based violence and intimate partner violence, which often hinge on surveillance, isolation, and control. Often, technology is used to the advantage of abusers in achieving such ends, and the wealth of personal information that is often available online leaves users vulnerable to acts of gender-based violence such as …

Nearing the end of 2017, the United States and the Caribbean were struck with back-to- back natural disasters that left the country in shock and turmoil. Among the three hurricanes that struck sequentially, Hurricane Harvey landed in Texas approximately on August 25th, 2017 and Hurricane Maria hit the Caribbean and Puerto Rico around September 20th, 2017.

Hurricane Maria and Hurricane Harvey caused similar levels of destruction, with Maria being a category five storm …

The Anti-Internet Crusade: A Rhetorical Analysis, Kelsey Flannery

Comm-entary

Honors Research Project.

Advised by Michelle Gibbons.

I will introduce research completed on the creation of the digital society over the last …
