yasmin ibrahim
Yasmin Ibrahim is Professor of Digital Economy and Culture at Queen Mary, University of London. Her ongoing research on new media technologies and digital humanities explores the cultural dimensions and social implication of the diffusion of ICTs in different contexts. Beyond social media and digital technologies she writes on migration, Islam, visual culture and memory studies.
My main research interests include;
• New Knowledge Economies, Consumption Practices and ICTs
I’m interested in the ways in which new interactive technologies, visual economies and social networks (i.e. social networking software, blogging, Youtube, etc.) re-negotiate the regimes of power and knowledge as well as the consequences of these processes in terms of empowerment, resistance and agency and its impact on collective memory and identities.
• My research explores the forms of cultural mediation (i.e. indigenous history, ethics and philosophy) that interact with the consumption and appropriation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in different cultural landscapes.
• Diasporic Communities, ICTs and Islam
Another core component of my research involves understanding how diasporic communities re-imagine and re-negotiate identity through ICTs and the construction of Islam as a cultural and risk narrative in a mediated world.

VOLUME EDITOR YASMIN IBRAHIM AND FADI SAFIEDDINE
Over the last few years, social media has expanded to become a key platform for news dissemination and circulation. Nations, governments, organisations and societies are now coming to terms with the unpredictable and debilitating consequences of fake news. The propagation of fake news has been linked to an increase in measles cases, surges in youth crimes, the spread of pseudo-science, compromised national security, and more. Some even perceive it as a global threat to democratic systems around the world. In this book, the authors examine factors influencing the spread of fake news, and suggest ways to combat it by exploring the key elements which enable and facilitate this phenomenon.
