This April saw the first of Reframing Russia’s planned partnership events with Helsinki University’s Strategies of Persuasion in an Algorithmic Age (STRAPPA) project. Dr Precious Chatterje-Doody attended Aleksanteri Institute as a Visiting Researcher to liaise with the project and presented some of Reframing Russia’s latest research at a joint workshop on “Persuasion, conspiracy thinking and the securitisation of information in Russia and beyond”. You can read Dr Chatterje-Doody’s interview with STRAPPA here.

This research visit marked just the first of a number of planned collaborations between Reframing Russia and STRAPPA, and helped set the groundwork for a joint panel proposal to this year’s Aleksanteri institute annual conference, as well as a jointly-hosted standalone research workshop planned for later this year.
