About me

Thesis: 'Do social media create bias in democratic deliberation?'

I’m addressing this overarching idea through a paper-based thesis which examines the role of rhetoric used by political elites, online polarisation, motivations behind online political self-censorship, and the persuasive power of influential online figures.
