As the boundary between new technologies and social platforms becomes increasingly blurred, how are the ways that we communicate and share information introducing novel political and personal opportunities? How does the evolving media and communication landscape usher in new routes and challenges for navigating global relations in 2025? Consider, for example, the recent controversy surrounding the TikTok ban and the subsequent user migration to RedNote. As these processes continue to unfold, we will discuss insights and resources offered by distinct fields of academic expertise ranging from Journalism, Media and Communication, to Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and more. Join experts from the International Studies Association and the University of Connecticut in our first of three public virtual panel discussions on Thinking Globally in 2025.
MODERATOR: Amanda J. Crawford (UConn, Department of Journalism). PANELISTS: Marie K. Shanahan (UConn, Department of Journalism), Jiyoun Suk (UConn, Department of Communication and the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Institute), and Dmitry Chernobrov (University of Sheffield, School of Journalism, Media and Communication).
