Knowledge in Crisis is a research project supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under the Clusters of Excellence programme (10.55776/COE3). We're a collaboration between the University of Graz, the University of Salzburg, and the University of Vienna, led by Central European University.

Knowledge in Crisis

A journalist, philosopher, and historian discuss the challenges of propaganda in contemporary conflicts, using Russia as a key example.

Central European University Vienna

Propaganda has long been a powerful tool for shaping public opinion, influencing international discourse, and justifying military actions. It has played a key role in spreading extremist ideas, especially in past totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.In Russia’s war against Ukraine, propaganda has been a central instrument for creating narratives that legitimize aggression, undermine democracy, and manipulate perceptions both domestically and internationally.At this event, we’ll explore what propaganda is and how it works—particularly in the digital age—using Russian propaganda as a key example. Join us to deepen your understanding of the challenges posed by propaganda in contemporary conflicts, and to critically engage with competing narratives in times of war.‍Here's the lineup:<a href="https://ias.ceu.edu/people/volodymyr-yermolenko" title="https://ias.ceu.edu/people/volodymyr-yermolenko" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Volodymyr Yermolenko</a>, Philosopher, Journalist, and Editor-in-Chief at Ukraine World<a href="http://www.ub.edu/grc_logos/teresa-marques" title="http://www.ub.edu/grc_logos/teresa-marques" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Teresa Marques</a>, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Barcelona<a href="https://people.ceu.edu/juliane_furst" title="https://people.ceu.edu/juliane_furst" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Juliane Fürst</a>, Professor of Contemporary History at Central European University and ZZF PotsdamWith moderation by <a href="https://www.knowledgeincrisis.com/people/fabio-lampert" title="https://www.knowledgeincrisis.com/people/fabio-lampert" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fabio Lampert</a>, Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Vienna
