Dear friends and colleagues,
I am writing this email to invite you all to my presentation - Recipe for a
Hindu nation: Manufacturing Islamophobia on WhatsApp - at the EP Abraham
Lecture Theatre, Green Templeton College, March 27th, 5:30pm.
Some of you already know that I have been investigating the use of WhatsApp
by political parties to spread Islamophobia and hate speech in India and
the implications - rising hate crimes, vigilante violence etc - during my
fellowship here at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism,
Oxford University.
This was not an academic study but an investigative journalism project for
which I joined 140 WhatsApp groups and collected messages from Nov 14-Feb
21, 2019. I analysed over 20,000 messages, both quantitative and
qualitatively, from these groups.
The final report will be published in May but before I leave Oxford (on
April 1), I would like to present the preliminary findings, observations
and experiences from the study and get your invaluable feedback in this
informal seminar.

and
spread the word.
Thanks :)
