Is it Ethical to use Deepfakes in Education? [Live]

The Many Meanings of Football
Football has transformed from a grassroots game people played in the streets with a pig bladder, to an international, multi-billion-dollar game operating under a multi-national organisation. It's slick, it's corporate, but it's also grassroots and gritty. In the many meanings of the game, some of them seem to contradict, yet are still considered valid interpretations as to how the game can be 'read'. How? Using Bruno Latour's Actor Network Theory, I explore some of these meanings, mapping what meanings of football have been threatened with the announcement of the European Super League.
