鈥�Skillful Digital Activism: Cultivating Media Ecologies for Transformative Social Change鈥�

This presentation explores the conceptual frameworks and practical strategies employed in social change campaigns that have utilized digital media as a crucial component of their organizing tool kit.   Moving beyond the hazards of superficial social media engagement, or the justly maligned 鈥渃licktivism,鈥� to transformative and long term impact, I examine a range of case studies that have worked to develop a 鈥渉orizontal,鈥� rather than top down, rich media ecology, which networks diverse groups, fosters community, and promotes real change.    Whether using virtual reality, interactive documentaries, or DIY tools, projects such as Hunger in LA, Lunch Love Community, Through the Lens Darkly/Digital Diaspora, VozMob, and#BlackLivesMatter are all pioneering digital tools and strategies in the struggle for social justice.
