How are digital technologies impacting conflict escalations? From Syria to Sudan, Yemen, Myanmar, the United States, and many other countries, conflict is also present in online spaces. Ashoka Fellow Helena Puig co-founded Build Up to mitigate the exponential growth of viral polarizing content spread in the digital age, a pressing challenge for peace innovators and civil society actors. 

This year, we spoke with Helena about novel ideas on how to transform, measure, and reduce the polarization footprint of digital platforms. Listen to the conversation.
