Description

Model minorities: racial targeting and discrimination in the platform era. This project aims to investigate the impacts of algorithmic targeting and discrimination on racially marginalised groups in Australia. It expects to generate new knowledge on the local impacts of global social media platforms by piloting innovative social science methods to document and analyse the real-world experience of racial targeting and classification. Expected outcomes of this project include national capacity building workshops and international collaborations to strengthen critical anti-racist research. This should provide significant benefits, such as holding platforms accountable to users and national regulators, strengthening national research infrastructure, and ensuring platforms operate in alignment with community values.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4410 - Sociology. Lead: Dr Thao Phan
