FreshEd #336 – Digital Humanitarianism (Fleur Johns)

FreshEd is at the CIES Annual Conference. While we are away, we are going to replay some of our favourite episodes about the theme of the conference: "Envisioning Education in a Digital Society." If you are in Chicago, please stop by the FreshEd table in the exhibition hall. And please consider becoming a member of FreshEd: freshedpodcast.com/support -- Today we look at digital humanitarianism and how digital interfaces are constructing new forms and modes of governance. My guest is Fleur Johns who has recently authored the new book #Help: Digital Humanitarianism and the Remaking of International Order. Fleur Johns is a professor in the faculty of law and justice at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. She is currently an Australian Research Council Future Fellow. Correction: In the interview, Fleur Johns mentions the 1998 floods in Bangladesh when in fact she meant the 1988 floods.
