Caravan of Hope Podcast: Promoting peace, safety and well-being

This week Brent speaks to University of Otago lecturer, Dr Olivier Jutel. Dr Jutel is a former journalist and media worker his work has been concerned with the emergence of right-wing populism in and through affective forms of media. His research agenda has tracked very closely with tumultuous developments in western democracies and the swing from a political techno-utopianism to increasing concern over information warfare. Jutel's recent publications have centered on Donald Trump, the alt-right, online conspiracy theories and the scramble to reconstitute regimes of truth by politicians, journalists and tech-companies. His ongoing work examines the role of techno-utopian discourse in ICT development policy in the Pacific and the impact of cyber threats to democracy in the region. NB This episode contains strong language.
