My research focuses on the relationship between culture and globalization, with an emphasis on how identities are formed and social and cultural differences are negotiated through visual means. In the MeCoDEM project I am working on the significance of cultural narratives, mediated imagery, and creative expression in political communication during times of unrest and transition. I see this as an exciting opportunity to understand how different perspectives on conflict and democratisation are given voice and visibility through the media.
