AI, Social Media and Sexism in Schools: Where to From Here?

CIESJ Executive Dean’s Office

QUT experts discuss the rise in incidents of AI misuse and misogyny in Australian schools and consider solutions to address the problem.

QUT Kelvin Grove Campus

We are witnessing a surge of incidents in Australian schools where AI and social media are being used by young people to judge, and sometimes abuse, fellow students and/or teachers. This is alongside media reports of increasing misogyny amongst teenage boys.The resulting debates within media, government and schools have seen calls to introduce curriculum on respectful relationships to counter ‘toxic masculinity’ and calls to ban social media for young people under the age of 16.With experts across the fields of Justice, Education and Communication, QUT’s Faculty of Creative Industries, Education and Social Justice (CIESJ) is well-placed to provide expert commentary on these issues and consider multidisciplinary and integrated solutions to address such complex societal problems.We invite you to join us for an evening panel discussion, led by CIESJ’s Executive Dean, Professor Lori Lockyer, in conversation with QUT experts on interpersonal violence prevention, social implications of digital media use, crisis responses in local school communities and education systems leadership.This event will be of particular interest to researchers, teachers, high school students, parents and those working in the education and social services sectors.Free (registration essential)5:00 pm for registrations and refreshments/networking6:00 pm Discussion Panel and audience questions8:00 pm Event endsTo assist us with planning, please register by 5pm Friday 6 September preferencing attendance in-person or via Zoom (a Zoom link will be sent to you the morning of the event).
