Meeting Description: 

We are delighted to host an online five-series workshop on “Oppressive Speech,
Societies, and Norms”. The source-project is: How Language is Used to Oppress
(HaLO) financed by the  Marie Scklowdoska-Curie Action @ZAS-Berlin.

Speech can be used to change societies in bad ways. It supports institutional
oppression, establishes new oppressive norms, silences opponents, spreads
disinformation and propagates feelings of hate. Online communities magnify the
effects of individual speech acts. This workshop series, comprising five
meetings, will dive into five different aspects of oppressive speech. We’ll
look at social norms and institutions, silencing and free speech, social
meaning, norm-shifting and disinformation. We’ll bring several tools and
perspectives from linguistics, social modelling, and philosophy, including
game theory, semantics/pragmatics and speech act theory. We’ll seek answers to
how oppressive speech works and how to defend against it.
