This roundtable session that includes scholars of colonialism and Indigeneity, digital religion and online hate politics, digital and public activism, and social interaction and identity online offers a multivalent discussion of anti-Critical Race Theory (CRT) that considers how it shapes/is shaped within digital and institutional contexts. The discussion will consider how “critical race theory” becomes a catch-all term that encompasses a broad range of discourses, ideologies, ideas, and positions. The panelists examine CRT as it is characterized and defined by internet memes, tweets, posts, and web applications. Tekobbe will discuss anti-CRT memes and platform posts as settler colonialism’s values reconstituted in social media discourses. Using examples from a study of Hindu nationalist Facebook groups, Sundaram will discuss the neocolonial futurism of Hindu nationalism and why some proponents of Hindu nationalism see “woke” politics and CRT as a US-exported threat to India. Buck, who lives and teaches in a conservative region of the United States, will describe online activism and responses to anti-CRT rhetoric in local progressive and academic circles. Martey will draw from her experience as her college’s DEI Coordinator and discuss a variety of institutional efforts to tackle the tensions around anti-CRT rhetoric which may serve as models for AoIR responses to this social, political, and cultural movement. Together they will moderate a discussion about how CRT operates as a broad-based symbol of liberation for marginalized communities and recognizes their oppression by recovering their histories. This holds for both those who seek to deploy it progressively as well as those who seek to use it to abrogate social justice movements. The panelists consider how to understand and support the use of CRT in internet research and writing and resist anti-CRT movements that would erase historically marginalized peoples and identities.
