SUMMARY:Antisemitism on Social Media
DESCRIPTION:Antisemitism on Social Media https://www.routledge.com/Antisemitism-on-Social-Media/Hubscher-Mering/p/book/9781032059693\, published in March 2022 by Routledge\, is a book for all who want to understand this phenomenon. \nThe interdisciplinary volume addresses how social media with its technology and business model has revolutionised the dissemination of antisemitism and how this impacts not only victims of antisemitic hate speech but also society at large. The book gives insight into case studies on different platforms such as Twitter\, Facebook\, TikTok\, YouTube\, and Telegram. It also demonstrates how social media is weaponized through the dissemination of antisemitic content by political actors from the right\, the left\, and the extreme fringe\, and critically assesses existing counter-strategies. \nAbout the speakers:\nEditors \nMonika Hübscher is a PhD Candidate at the Haifa Center for German and European Studies at the University of Haifa\, Israel\, and Research Associate at the project “Antisemitism and Youth” at the University of Duisburg-Essen\, Germany.  She researches and lectures on antisemitism\, hate speech and disinformation on social media\, and social media literacy. \nSabine von Mering\, Ph.D. is Professor of German and Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies\, a core faculty member with the Environmental Studies Program\, and Director of the Center for German and European Studies (CGES) at Brandeis University in Waltham\, Massachusetts\, USA.
