Delighted to share news of a free in-person workshop I've co-organised in May at the ILCS (@ilcs.bsky.social) to discuss the need for explicitly antifascist pedagogies against the rising tide of far-right support and what that practice would look like.

Looking for a recommendation - an academic who could give a talk on why social media privilege the far right. What is it about the algorithms that has those effects? Event would be evening in the UK, but they could participate remotely. Particularly looking for a woman speaker, if possible.
