Political Pandemonium 2020
The Technology and Social Change Project’s (TaSC) Political Pandemonium 2020 is a series of three digital workshops exploring the harmful effects of media manipulation on our society. These gatherings will each focus on a unique subtopic of interest to both the field of Critical Internet Studies and the broader public concerns about disinformation in elections.
Workshops will examine:
- the key differences between dis/misinformation and media manipulation;
- the lifecycle of media manipulation; and
- how to effectively identify and combat media manipulation.
Invitees will include members of civil society, journalists, students and academics working in the dis/misinformation field. This is free and open to everyone. Attendance will be capped at approximately 30 attendees per workshop and applications are required to attend. A portion of each event will be recorded for broadcast online.
