Political Studies Association Anti-politics Group February 2020

Workshop 12 February 2020

I was invited to be a guest presenter at a workshop organised by the Political Studies Association Anti-politics Group. I spoke about the online interference with electoral processes, showing examples from the UK 2016 referendum, the UK 2019 General Election and the 2016 US Presidential election. I illustrated how social media micro-targetted ads sought out 'persuadables' and comparative ads from the US and UK.

A write up of the workshop is here.
