Disinformation has become a defining weapon of modern conflict—but how are these operations organized, and what do they mean for democratic societies?
Join Tamar Mitts, Associate Professor of International and Public Affairs as she shares findings from her bilateral research on online disinformation campaigns and their implications for national defense. Drawing on empirical analyses of state and non-state actors, Mitts will examine how digital information operations shape security environments, influence public opinion, and challenge democratic resilience in an era of escalating geopolitical competition.
This event is part of the Digital Governance for Democratic Renewal webinar series, hosted by Tech Policy Press, Columbia World Projects, and the Centre for Digital Governance at the Hertie School.
The series brings together leading voices in technology, policy, and academia to explore how we can redesign digital infrastructures to serve democracy rather than erode it.
This event is open to the public. Whether you work in policy, tech, national security, research, or civil society — or are simply concerned about how digital threats are reshaping democracy — you’re invited to join the conversation.
