Combating Online Hate with Compassion

Saturday, March 12
11:00AM - 12:00PM

Hyatt Regency Austin
Zilker Ballroom 3
208 Barton Springs Rd

Is there something beyond the recursive loop of hate online? This session will define the factors that sustain online violence and explore practical steps to end it. For some, examining those elements -- emotional distance, the rationale, and the predictable fight or flight responses -- may lead to creative and practical ways to understand online aggressors in ways that go beyond the hatred.
