Research into how #disinformation affects democracy has never been more important. But #autocrats and #populists discredit any findings that challenge their worldview. In my latest article on ECPR's The Loop I describe how #Trump is changing the rules of communication, and manipulating public discourse

Gulf of America: rewriting the rules of public discourse

Scientific investigation into how disinformation affects democracy has never been more important. But autocrats and populists discredit such research, along with any journalism that challenges their worldview. Christoph Deppe describes how, under Trump’s second administration, changing the rules of communication is manipulating public discourse

#polsci #radical #liberationtheology theorists, point me at readings or authors to look at regarding alternative models for #contestation (ideas, access, executive authority). I'm interested in praxis and rhetoric, but also metaphysical insight (given conflict appears endemic) as long as complete submission to material injustice isn't the main strategy.

I've read a lot about transgression, accountability in the context of decarceral liberation but I don't know a lot about prefigurative models for conflict resolution. Boosts appreciated.

How to call a reviewer who suggests you to cite a lot of work produced by one person, especially when that work is only tangentially related, upon revising your manuscript? #AcademicChatter #PolSci #AcademicSky #ResearchSky

🛠️ The #euvsdisinfo #dataset is a fantastic resource—well-structured, highly useful, and a great example of proactive #data sharing in the #research of #disinformation. I’ll be using it in an upcoming research project!

🔍 That said, the data collection #methodology remains a bit opaque. If anyone has insights on how the data is gathered, I’d love to hear more!
