It is our pleasure to announce that on Wednesday 15 June at 4pm in McCrea 1-14, Professor Jorg Matthes will give a talk titled, "Disentangling the effects of incidental exposure to political information on social media”.

Jorg is Professor of Communication Science, University of Vienna. Recently he has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant for a project entitled: “Digital Hate: Perpetrators, Audiences, and (Dis)Empowered Targets”. Jorg is at Royal Holloway that day to meet our ERC Consolidator Grant “NewNews” team, and his talk is in the framework of our New Political Communication Unit.
