The social media is allowing diaspora to connect in ways they couldn't before. This has only accelerated the trend started by other technologies like cheaper jet travel, cable television etc

 

This session will discuss:

 

  • social media's effect on identity and connection
  • you are what you want to be, if you speak X's language and participate in X's community online, can you be part of X even if you don't live in X land? i think the answer is YES, always been yes and social media just makes it even more yes

 


I find this interesting and definitely want to come to this one. I agree that participation is (potentially) more global now than ever, but I worry about the implications of claiming to be a part of X even if you don't live in X, with X being any given community.  Should be interesting!

 


In the absence of Roland, we've started talking amonst ourselves, first of all, to talk about what this session is all about?

 

What community do you belong to? Can you be part of communities if you're not physically present? Participating in a Filipino community from overseas? Does colour / race matter?
