2024

Epistemic Challenges and Democratic Accountability in European Media conference will take place on 24-25 October 2024 at the University of Helsinki.  The two-day conference brings together an interdisciplinary community of scholars and experts to take stock of the current challenges. Two intensive days of invited lectures, paper sessions, and panel discussions zoom in on the new conditions of knowledge production, the responsibility of digital platforms, and the intersection of inequalities and technologies in a datafied and polarized communication landscape. How can employing the notion of the epistemic help us understand and mitigate harms and support epistemic justice and agency?

MAPS project organizes the conference together with the research consortium Epistemic Democratic Capacities at the Era of Algorithms (DECA) and the The Euromedia Research Group. Call for abstracts  will be published at the beginning of 2024.
