| Session 1: Translating Hate in the Digital World
The first session, titled Translating Hate in the Digital World, defines the scope of the problem of cyber-hate and its manifestations, with a particular focus on religion, race, and gender. The panel delved deeper into the question of understanding and recognizing online antisemitism, racism, and gender hate. How do different forms of hate manifest themselves differently online? How can we educate ourselves to recognize racism and discrimination in their different online forms?
