Description

This week's guest is the “Maven of Persuasion”, Dr Emma L Briant,  Associate Researcher at Bard College with an extensive background as a professor in information operations, propaganda and human rights. Dr Briant is one of the key researchers who uncovered the Cambridge Analytica scandal in 2018.
This podcast is the second in a mini-series co-hosted with Susie Alegre, international human rights barrister, Associate at Doughty Street Chambers and Research Fellow at the University of Roehampton looking at the often overlooked aspects of freedom of expression in the online space, the rights of the receiver – the right to form and hold opinions and the right to receive information.  We are grateful to the Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media for a grant through their Spotlight on AI and Freedom of Expression (#SAIFE) project to support this series.
