ETH Zurich welcomes and encourages researchers to share their work with a wider public and society on Social Media platforms such as Instagram or LinkedIn. However, apart from important knowledge transfer and constructive dialogue, scientists also experience hate speech online, albeit rarely. This means that they are being criticised, discriminated against and sometimes even threatened, not only in relation to their research, but also because of their person.

An webinar for researchers from the ETH Domain, which ETH Diversity and the Social Media team at ETH Zurich are offering together with the Public Discourse Foundation, sheds light on the online phenomenon of hate speech from several angles:

  • What exactly does hate speech mean? Who is particularly affected by it?

  • Tips from practice and hate speech research on how to deal with it

  • Tools on the platforms that users can use against hate speech

  • Dealing with hate speech at ETH Zurich
