Here i'll be talking about surveillance on social media in general and particularly how employers within the workplace monitor their workers on social media platforms.
Please follow and see my Twitter for further issues I talk about, not just about surveillance and privacy but also different ideas about this digital age we live in.

Surveillance on social media and within the workplace

Social media can be such a reliable source to find information. But for some, it can damage one's reputation if used the wrong way. Here, I talk about a few current issues that have appeared in the news, and analyse if there should be a separation between what is considered personal or public.

Issues appearing on social media & damaging one's status

I spent a couple of months at the Jewish Holocaust Centre in Melbourne as an intern, doing research and various interviews about issues surrounding the Holocaust topic. 

I ended up doing a podcast series of three different topics, with this first one being about student programs being held at museums, specifically the Jewish Holocaust Centre. 

In relation to this, I speak about what the museum does to ensure that students understand and acknowledge the past of World War Two. 

It was an honest privilege to be part of such an inspiring community and I’ve learnt so much! Have a listen and leave any comments, I’d love to hear what you think!

Importance of student programs at the Jewish Holocaust Centre

I spent a couple of months at the Jewish Holocaust Centre in Melbourne as an intern, doing research and various interviews about issues surrounding the Holocaust topic.

I ended up doing a podcast series of three different topics, with this second one being about the impact of Anti-Semitism and why people, specifically students, should know about this delicate topic.

In relation to this, I speak about what it is, why it is significant as well as why it was an issue during the Holocaust and still existing today. 

It was an honest privilege to be part of such an inspiring community and I’ve learnt so much! Have a listen and leave any comments, I’d love to hear what you think!

Why Anti-Semitism is a Delicate Yet Vital Topic

I spent a couple of months at the Jewish Holocaust Centre in Melbourne as an intern, doing research and various interviews about issues surrounding the Holocaust topic.

I ended up doing a podcast series of three different topics, with this third and last one being about the significance of new technology, specifically new media like social platforms, and why people, like students or historians should know about new media and the way it can preserve historical objects.

In relation to this, I speak about what it is, why it is significant as well as why it can help us today.
