Northwestern University graduate students are invited to join us for a lunchtime conversation with Sulafa Zidani, a scholar of global digital culture. She is an assistant professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Northwestern University's School of Communication and a Buffett Faculty Fellow. Her current book project, All Your Meme Are Belong to Us: Internet Cultures in the Global South, examines creative online practices across geopolitical contexts and languages to investigate how multilingual meme creators navigate changing power dynamics of globalization. She will speak with graduate students about developing the book from her dissertation research. Lunch is provided beginning at 11:45 a.m.
