In May, we host Nuppu Pelevina, Oksana Domina, and Salla-Maaria Laaksonen from the University of Helsinki, who will present their research “Instagram as an affective battlefield – Ukrainian inspirational influencers as strategic narrators” on Ukrainian social media influencers and their roles during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. Using on social media data gathered from influencers’ Instagram profiles and online questionnaire sent to prominent Ukrainian social media influencers, the research reveals how the war affected the influencers’ practices and how they participated in communicating about the war.
