Member since 2024

Occupation: Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Studies at The Open University

If we want to effectively address any contemporary global challenges, we first need to confront the crisis of public trust and truly connect with people.

Bio

Precious Chatterje-Doody works on the interrelationship between communication, perception, identity and security, with a particular focus on Russia and its military aggression. Her research has examined the online spread of disinformation and conspiracy theories; the tactics that states use to justify their policies; and the ways in which non-state actors including public service broadcasters, religious organisations and community-based networks can respond to contemporary challenges of information manipulation and declining public trust.

Passionate about public and professional education, Precious frequently provides commentary for international media and was academic consultant for the BAFTA-nominated “Trump takes on the world” and 2025 Broadcast Award-winning “The Zelensky Story”. She has helped create multiple open access online learning resources about media, politics and society, as well as best practice journalism resources. She has given evidence to UK and overseas parliamentary bodies and currently co-convenes a global counter-disinformation practitioner peer learning network.
