Good day you all! We proudly present the next recap of one of the presentations given during the MIDA summer school by our ESR Lena Richter. Lena explores how Facebook memes are used by young Moroccan non-believers to convey their experiences, struggles, and religious criticism - based on the examples of non-religious humor during Ramadan and the COVID-19 pandemic.
​
Enjoy Lena's presentation!
