Summary

Cancel culture is difficult to define and widely viewed in a negative light. It could be defined as a modern form of protest or boycott and therefore it has an important role to play in fighting for justice.

In this episode — the second part of our three-part series on cancel culture — we will:

Define cancel culture and discuss when it’s called for.
Examine the role of social media in cancel culture.
Provide suggestions of what to do if you get canceled.
