This winter, the Atlantic Human Rights Centre, St. Thomas University's Department of Human Rights, St. Thomas University's Department of Journalism and Communications, the NB Media Co-op and RAVEN invite the public to the Human Rights & the Media Lecture Series. We will hear from scholars of the media and law, media makers and grassroots activists on how our media landscape is changing. We will hear about what they are doing to make this media landscape a more safe, just and equal space.

Dr. Elizabeth Dubois, Associate Professor at the University of Ottawa, will deliver the lecture, "Political bots: Understanding communication strategies using automation and AI," on Tuesday, February 1 at 5:30 pm (Atlantic) by Zoom.

Dr. Dubois runs the Pol Comm Tech Lab at the University of Ottawa. Her work examines political uses of digital media including media manipulation, citizen engagement, and artificial intelligence. She hosts the Wonks and War Rooms podcast where political communication theory meets on the ground strategy. Find her on Twitter @lizdubois and at www.polcommtech.ca or check out her latest edited book, Citizenship in a Connected Canada.
