Digital Hate & Democracy: Unpacking Islamophobia in the Wake of Mamdani’s Rise

August 13: In a webinar hosted by the Center for the Study of Organized Hate and Georgetown University's Bridge Initiative, Saher Selod, PhD, will join a panel of expert speakers exploring findings from a report examining how online discourse around Zohran Mamdani and Muslim communities was shaped by a toxic convergence of Islamophobia, ideological fear-mongering, and xenophobic rhetoric, and the broader implications of digital hate. They’ll explore how these online trends undermine democratic values, fuel real-world harm, and threaten the safety and participation of Muslim communities in public life. Register to attend.
