Dr. Andrea Wiesner

Ever wondered whether politicians rely more on scientific evidence in their communication over time? We looked at almost 30 years of Austrian parliamentary debates, and the answer is: No. 🔗 Read the full paper here: doi.org/10.22323/385...

👋 Meet our team: @andreawiesner.bsky.social , Coordinator of the @dem-hum.bsky.social With a background at @ipkw.bsky.social, Andrea keeps many of the network’s day-to-day activities running, from our website, blog & social media (hi! 👋) to events and finances. Happy to be part of the team! 😊

Bei meinen zwei heutigen Vorträgen auf der #KWT26 @oegk.bsky.social ging es um Vertrauen. Einerseits darum, ob die wahrgenommene Legitimität des #VfGH durch Kommunikation gestärkt werden kann, und andererseits darum, was wissenschaftsbezogene politische Botschaften eigentlich vertrauenswürdig macht.

It was such a pleasure for me to organize this workshop 💙

What kinds of content do users themselves want to see moderated on platforms? 👀 Surprisingly, it's less about the incivility of language and more about authorial intention, target vulnerability and platform affordances /w @solecheler.bsky.social, @pia-p.bsky.social & Svenja Schäfer 🙂 #ICA25 #PolComm

"We need multiple countries in order to not only understand what we know from home, but also to understand whether that's an exception or not. These types of comparisons are essential to understand the inner workings of democratic institutions & processes." @claesdevreese.bsky.social bit.ly/3MCaNyv
