The Struggle for Democracy and Human Rights: The Role of Technology and Social Media (Free Webinar)

Register today for the free webinar offered by the Miami-Florida Jean Monnet European Center of Excellence (FIU). The event is free and open to the public but registration is required. 

Keynote speaker Philippe Etienne, Ambassador of France to the United States, will join David J. Kramer, Director of FIU's European and Eurasian Studies Program, in conversation exploring trends, international perspectives, and multilateral collaboration.

About the event:

"Democracy and human rights are under attack around the world, with authoritarianism and demagoguery on the rise. What explains this trend? To what extent do technology and social media play a role, either positively and/or negatively? What are the differences in approach between Europe and the United States? How can we work together to address the threats to democracy and human rights around the world? What are the best ways to combat extremism and terrorism? Where can multilateral efforts contribute to combatting these dangers most effectively?"

Join the discussion this Thursday, March 25, 2021 at 3:00pm EDT. There is still time to submit your questions for the discussion.
