This 10-week online seminar offers a comprehensive examination of the multifaceted nature of information warfare, focusing on how political narratives, disinformation, and media influence shape both democratic processes and global conflicts. The course covers a wide range of themes, including the use of popular culture as a tool for political messaging, resilience and vulnerability factors in information disorders, and the long-term human cost of information warfare.
Through case studies such as Russian information strategies across different geopolitical contexts, participants will analyze the tools, tactics, and platforms used to manipulate public opinion. The seminar will also explore how global and local narratives about justice, peace, and equality are influenced by these tactics, focusing on the ethical, social, and political consequences of the global struggle for truth in the media.
Presented by the New University in Exile Consortium at The New School for Social Research.

The seminars are designed to reconnect endangered scholars with the academic community they have lost while in exile and reengage students from around the world with professors they have lost. They are free and open to anyone anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
