In this third webinar, we will explore the challenges and opportunities of algorithmic (in)visibility for Latin American immigrant TikTokers. We will delve into the ways in which their content creation processes reflect their literacies with this multimodal platform. Participants will engage in reflections about the social, political, and cultural implications of migrant storytelling practices online.

The ‘Inequalities and Media Education’ (IME) webinar series explores the relationship between media and inequalities as well as justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in the (digital) media literacy and education space. The webinar series aims to ask critical questions and delve deeper into current research conducted globally to understand how scholars have studied and aimed at reducing inequalities along with ramifications for media literacy and education.
We hope to continue engaging with our community and invite hosts for future meetings and discuss a cool book, podcast, video or any media related to our interests on inequalities. Please get in touch:
