Munich (the ts) – After three years of the pandemic, accompanied and fueled by corresponding authoritarian political developments, a “division in society” driven by populism, “fake news” and conspiracy stories is sometimes seen as the greatest threat to democracy.
Scientists can provide analysis and explanations in this situation, but at the same time they often have to defend themselves from public attacks. So how can researchers position themselves in public? And what opportunities does a scientific examination of such attacks offer?
The following speakers will address these questions on January 10, 2023 as part of “Science Talks” at LMU:
- Prof. doctor Carsten Reinemann, Professor of Communication Studies with a focus on political communication at LMU Munich
- Prof. doctor Ursula Münch, Professor of Political Science at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich and Director of the Tutzing Academy for Political Education
