The Manosphere and Online Misogyny

With an introduction from Graham Galbraith, Vice-Chancellor.

This panel discussion, chaired by Dr Aram Ghaemmaghami, brings together experts from criminology, cybercrime, gender studies, digital media, sociology, and online harms to examine the growing influence of the "manosphere". The manosphere is a collection of online communities that often promote misogynistic ideologies and rigid expectations of masculinity. Panelists will explore how these spaces form, what drives participation, and the broader cultural and political implications of their messages. The discussion will address the impact of online misogyny on women and marginalised groups, the role of algorithms and platform design, and the challenges of moderation and policy enforcement. The panel aims to foster a critical and constructive conversation about combating gender-based hate online while supporting healthier digital communities.
