Online hate speech against the Mapuche people: pre-service history teachers’ educational responses to a teaching scenario

A study explored how pre-service history teachers conceptualize online hate speech against the Mapuche people, which is amplified via social media, and their pedagogical strategies for addressing it in the classroom. This hate speech is historically rooted in media-driven racialization.

The proliferation of online hate speech, particularly when directed at specific ethnic or cultural groups, poses significant societal and educational challenges. Understanding how future educators are prepared to address such issues is critical for fostering inclusive societies and mitigating the impact of digital disinformation and prejudice.

Hate speech targeting the Mapuche people is significantly amplified by social media platforms.

Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
