New communication technologies have revolutionized the field of human rights, making it possible to create connections between individuals and organizations in a myriad of different ways. This session hopes to collaboratively explore examples of the ways in which social justice groups and other human rights organizations locally, nationally, and internationally are utilizing digital media, and some of the issues and challenges that arise in this process. Depending on participants and their interests and experiences, we will explore specific examples, shared successes and dilemmas, and ways to forge new collaborations between individuals and organizations, both for community work and for teaching.
