Alex Chartrand

Student

Alex is a Ph.D. student in Communication Studies at Concordia University. He works on the activism of LGBTQ+ communities against algorithmic bias on social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook. Previously, Alex studied LGBTQ+ social movements at the Political Science department of the University of Montréal, which led him to spend several months at the University of the Philippines Diliman for his research. During a much-needed pause between his Master’s and Ph.D. programs, Alex started hosting and producing the weekly radio show Avez-vous du WiFi? on CISM public radio, which he loosely describes as a sociocultural analysis of Internet and technology.
