Program: Jan Rau is a PhD researcher in the Media Research Methods Lab at the Leibniz-Institute for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut. His research to date has centered on topics including echo chambers, polarization, public opinion manipulation, right-wing extremism, and digital counterpublics. Jan will talk about
„digital turbulence“ and the question of how the internet is shaping the public sphere, and therefore politics and democracy.

Afterwards, we look forward to wrapping up the evening with you over some drinks and small talk.

After a short summer break, we will meet again on October 5th. Until then we wish you a nice summer!

Date and time: July 6, at 7pm. The official part of the event normally takes around two hours and will be followed by some informal drinks at the library balcony.

Location: We are meeting at the Leibniz-Institute for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institute, Rothenbaumchaussee 36, 20148 Hamburg.
