It was a great honor and a pleasure to organize the #AoIRFlashpoint2020 for the first time in South America, with @adriaramaral and @suely_ . The theme of the event was "Digital Transformations: Polarization, media manipulation, and resistance".

We received 90 proposals from several countries (and all over Brazil) and selected 29 for presentation. #AoirFlashpoint2020

It wasn't as we wanted it to be (because of the pandemic we had to change all the event to a virtual one), but we had to do it and it needed to be this year (because of the supporting research agencies). #AoIRFlashpoint2020

Even though, we got lots of participation, great papers, posters, and awesome all female panel keynotes (Many thanks to @susannapaasonen, @sibonei, @patyrossini & @nandacarrera) #AoIRFlashpoint2020

We appreciate everyone's support and help in the organization of the sections and panels. Many thanks to the moderators @felipebsoares @sandramontardo @mcaquino @ronaldohenn Gustavo Fischer @grohmann_rafael. #AoIRFlashpoint2020

We also thank all the presenters, scientific committee, and all participants! We had over 60 people actively participating and discussing the themes of the conference. #AoIRFlashpoint2020

Many thanks also to the AOIR Exec (@LynnSchofClark @tamaleaver @fabiogiglietto @wishcrys @erikapearson
Kelly Quinn, Kat Tiidenberg, @ZoeGlatt and Michelle -our association coordinator) for believing Brazil could be a good host for the Flashpoint. #AoIRFlashpoint2020

Thanks supporting us in so many ways.(Special thanks to @LynnSchofClark that participated in all sections! It was an honor to have you.) #AoIRFlashpoint2020

Finally, we would also like to thank the supporting agencies @Fapergs and @CAPES_Oficial which also supported this bilingual event, our universities, and @GaloaCiencia for their amazing and tireless technical help. #AoIRFlashpoint2020

This event wouldn't be possible without you all! ❤️❤️❤️#AoIRFlashpoint2020
