On January 25th 2023 we held the 2nd event (see 1st event here) of the Speaker Series ‘Social policy unpacked: Exploring pathways for fair green and digital transitions’, co-hosted by ZOE Institute for Future-fit Economies and the European Commission (DG EMPL).

Engage with materials from the event below.

Dr Joan Donovan, who leads the Technology and Social Change Research Project (TaSC) at the Harvard University Kennedy School of Government, presented how

• media manipulation can be used to control public conversation and can play a role in disrupting democratic processes and society
• disinformation and manipulation impact the intersection of media, research as well as social and public policy
• we can create a different future for technology and connected societies.
