WEBINAR: Documenting Dissent: Capturing Student Protests, Navigating Disinformation, and Ethical Considerations with ASERL Online
In a time of escalating campus protests, arrests, and chaos, a critical need exists to capture these events accurately and ethically for future generations. This timely webinar, "Documenting Dissent: Capturing Student Protests, Navigating Disinformation, and Ethical Considerations," offers a powerful resource. Led by a panel of experts including Lae'l Hughes-Watkins, from Project STAND – a web portal with over $800,000 in grant funding to document student activism, particularly in marginalized communities – this workshop goes beyond just collecting information. You'll learn best practices for capturing the complexities of campus protests, from demonstrations and sit-ins to clashes with police. The panelists will also address the pervasiveness of misinformation surrounding these events and equip you with the skills to navigate it effectively. Most importantly, you'll gain valuable insight on ethical considerations in documentation, ensuring your captured record serves as a valuable resource for future generations.
