Researcher

I am a PhD researcher at the Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) of the Open University. My research interest lies in investigating intersectionality in hate speech detection with a focus on misogynoir – misogyny against Black women with the intersection of race and gender. My research aims to explore how misogynoir manifests online and how it could be mitigated since existing technologies for hate speech detection do not accurately identify this type of hate and protect Black women accordingly.
