Instagram Ethics: Catholic Social Teaching and Social Media Activism

Social media helped propel recent political movements, such as Black Lives Matter and #MeToo. How might Catholic social teaching play a role in such activism? What might it tell us about online engagement? In this presentation, Duffy fellow Samantha Sclafani will explore the position of religious ethics in the digital public square.

Samantha Sclafani is a graduating Fordham University senior double majoring in political science and theology, and she is a 2021-2022 Duffy fellow. Sclafani plans to attend law school in fall 2023.
