COST Action CA15101. Comparative Analysis of Conspiracy theories (COMPACT Prof. Dr. G. Aleknonis). 2016鈥2020.

Existing research has tended to concentrate on specific national traditions, and is often confined to the perspective of a single discipline. In contrast, this Action will adopt a comparative approach, investigating the causes, manifestations and effects of conspiracy theories in different regions and times, and drawing on insights from history, politics, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies and psychology. The Action will pursue the inquiry in three broad areas: the manifestations and modes of transmission of conspiracy theory in different historical and cultural contexts; the variety of actors and audiences involved in the production and consumption of conspiracy theories; and the psychological and cultural causes and political consequences of belief in conspiracy. Working closely with stakeholders, this Action will build a better understanding of conspiracy theories in order to develop an effective response to them.

The aim of this Action is to demonstrate, through the adoption of Multi-Disciplinary Innovation (MDI) methods, how we can respond to social problems with a design-led approach, which has a problem-oriented ethos, supporting positive social change and the development of international public policy discourse. It will be achieved through the establishment of a Pan-European Public Sector Innovation (ePSI) lab.

The aim of this COST action is to build a network for the interdisciplinary study of the potential interactive digital narrative has as a means to addressing complexity as a societal challenge by representing, experiencing and comprehending complex phenomena and thus address the issue of "fake news". The challenge therefore is to change IDNs current status from 鈥榮ingular achievement鈥 of a small group of 鈥榠nitiated鈥 practitioners to 鈥榞eneral practice鈥 of many media companies. The INDCOR project (Interactive Narrative Design for Complexity Representations) addresses this challenge by means of a coordinated effort in analysing and generalizing design and production methods of stand-out IDN works with a particular focus on the representation of complex issues.

Gender Issues Representations and Disseminations in Different Socio-Cultural Contexts. Assoc. Prof. Dr. L. Stund啪臈. 2018鈥2021.

Gender studies is a versatile research field, which encompasses gender equality and human (women鈥檚, men鈥檚, queer, other) rights; women, men, and queer studies; historical component of gender and social gender movements; gender dimension in different socio-cultural institutions (family, education, economics, politics, medicine etc.) and socio-cultural contexts (national states, subcultures, professions etc.); gender related implications on micro (individual), meso (organizational, communal) and macro (national, regional, global) levels; and many others. Thus, the field outspreads on numerous gender and related theories as well as on the feminist and other ontological, epistemological, and methodological developments. On the other hand, in terms of social policy, the field directly relates to the main ideas and societal goals of strengthening democracy, implementing overall equality, developing knowledge-based society, and others.
