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 is a Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Studies at the Open University. She works on the interrelationship between communication, perception, identity and security, with a particular focus on Russia’s 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 media, religious and community actors can respond to contemporary challenges of information manipulation and declining public trust.
Passionate about public and professional education, Precious frequently provides international media commentary and was academic consultant for the BAFTA-nominated “Trump takes on the world” and multiple 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.
