A course on modern Middle Eastern history was originally scheduled to be taught at Columbia University in Fall 2025. However, as Columbia continues its complicity in covering up the U.S.-Israeli genocide against Palestine and capitulates to the Trump administration at the expense of academic freedom and student rights, Professor Rashid Khalidi found it impossible to teach his course. This segment of the course, entitled A Short Course on Palestine, will now be offered at The People’s Forum, co-sponsored with the Institute for Palestine Studies, making it accessible to the broader public.

Tonight’s Topic: The Role Of Decentralized Media In An Era Of Facism

Tonight we will be treated to a presentation and opportunity to chat with my daughter, Christine, who recently gave a talk (remotely) entitled “Protocols and Purpose in a Global Democratic Crisis” at the Berlin Fediverse Day 2025 conference, a gathering of decentralized social networking implementers, users, and communities.

Christine Lemmer-Webber is a well renowned architect of decentralized social networking technology: social networks controlled by people, not corporations. In this talk she discusses the role of decentralized media in an era of fascism and media capture. What happens when community media distribution is all we have left? How do we keep it alive and keep activists safe in their communication?

After we watch a video of her presentation, Christine will stick around for a Q&A with those attending the zoom.

Christine Lemmer-Webber is an American software engineer, best known for her lead authorship and co-editorship of ActivityPub. She is currently the Executive Director at Spritely Institute. The Spritely Institute is a nonprofit organization developing decentralized networking technologies that empower users to control their online identities and relationships. Christine was also the lead author and co-editor of the 2018 ActivityPub standard, a W3C standard for decentralized federated social networking.
