kNOwHATE project launches podcast
The kNOwHATE project has recently launched the first episode of its Portuguese podcast ‘Cortar o mal pela raiz’ (Nip it in the bud). The podcast marks the end of the project’s research tasks that have been focused on understanding how online hate speech in Portuguese happens so that effective measures can be implemented to fight it. Cláudia Silva is the Interactive Technologies Institute’s PI at the kNOwHATE project.
The podcast aims to give voice to diverse perspectives and experiences about online hate speech in Portuguese. The first of four episodes was launched on June 18th, International Day for Countering Hate Speech. Hosted by Cláudia Semedo, the first episode titled “Fronteias da Expressão” also had the participation of Rita Guerra (Researcher at CIS – Centre for Social Research and Intervention – Iscte – University Institute of Lisbon, Coordinator of the kNOwHATE project), Péricles Pina (Lawyer, Former Coordinator of the Support Office for the Commission for Equality and Against Racial Discrimination) and
Paula Cardoso (Journalist, Founder of Afrolink).
