Civic Café: Democracy Dinner: Black Internet Culture & Political Power: Linguistics & Memes

Online culture can be a source of joy, harm, silliness, learning, conflict, and so much more. How do you relate to online culture and how, if at all, does it connect to civic engagement in your experience? How do folks leverage online culture to build community and increase political power, particularly in Black communities and other Communities of Color? We are honored to have Dr. Raven Maragh-Lloyd, Assistant Professor of African and African American Studies and Film and Media Studies at Washington University in St. Louis, as our distinguished speaker for the evening. Professor Maragh-Lloyd’s work explores the ways that Black and African American people creatively use media to build community and visibility.
