This time, our guest is Nathalie Van Raemdonck, a PhD researcher at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Media and Communication science. Her doctoral research focuses on the spread of misinformation and hostilities on social media, which she investigates through the lens of social norm contestations and affordances. In her spare time she runs a social media account on Instagram called @anti_conspiracy_memewars where she creatively uses memes to debunk misinformation and conspiracies.

In this episode, Maia, Maria and Nathalie bounce around different topics, drop humonnnngous amounts of references to memes, and generally have a good time. We hope you have a good time listening, too.

How to fix the world? Be kind, says Nathalie. If that is too soppy for you, then: "Give agency back to people instead of corporations, don't let greed win." Our main survival strategy is collaboration, after all.

This season is special! The episodes are in English and all about disinformation and societal resilience. Our first guest is Victor Wiard, a researcher in media and journalism studies from Université Saint-Louis in Brussels. He also works with EDMO-BELUX hub for research on digital media and disinformation. In this episode, Maria and Victor talk about folk theories and people's media use, but also the rockstar-phase of Victor's life.

How to fix the world? When creating messages and reaching out, take the audience seriously, says Victor, don't just assume that everybody is like you.

Selle hooaja viimane osa lendab mitmepäise lohena. Või dinosaurusena? Sest Anna Markina, kes on Eesti juhtiv kriminoloog, on doktorandina küll juba täitsa saurus - alustas ta doktoriõpingutega ju 1997. aastal. Leidis aga siis, kui ka katusartikkel juba vormi võttis, et töö fookuses olevad maffiateemad on "natuke lahjad" ja tegi doktorantuuris pausi. Ja nüüd on doktorandina tagasi, uurides alaealiste õigusrikkumisi mõjutavaid tegureid. Kuna pausi ajal ei istunud Anna niisama, vaid tegi palju Suuri Tegusid ja kasvatas ekspertsust mitmes-setmes valdkonnas, tuli ka see Dialoogia osa mitmeharuline. Rääkisime Kalevipoegadest ja ohvriabist, taastavast õigusest ja sellest, kuidas leebem lähenemine karistuste puhul ei tooda retsidiivseid lumehelbekesi, paljust muust veel. Huvitavaid materjale, millest juttu tuli, leiad siit: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/dialoogia
