Architects of Communication Scholarship

This episode features Dr. Gianpietro Mazzoleni in conversation with Dr. Cristian Vaccari. They discuss Dr. Mazzoleni’s integration into the subfield of political communication as an international student, his contributions to the popularity of populism research, and his continuing efforts to mentor a new generation of political scholars. Dr. Mazzoleni further discusses the subfield’s future as new digital media practices challenge existing paradigms for understanding the effects of political communications.
