Asimina Michailidou
Academic Interests
My main fields of academic interest are: political communication and public communication strategies in transnational organisations; online media and their impact on politics (conceptual, methodological and empirical aspects), particularly in regard to the European Union; globalization and political activism; and theoretical considerations on the concept of the public sphere.
Background
I hold a Ph.D. in Political Communication from Loughborough University, UK, where the subject of my doctoral dissertation was 'The role of the Internet in the European Union’s public communication strategy and the emerging European public sphere'.
Prior to joining ARENA, I held the position of post-doctoral researcher at the International Research Network on European Political Communications (EurPolCom), Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship, University of Bristol, UK.
Projects
My current research at ARENA concerns 'The virtual reality of the European public sphere: Actors, norms and representations'. This is a two-year project within the 'Communicative and socio-cultural dynamics of European integration' subfield of the EuroTrans project. Under the RECON project, I am also collaborating with colleagues Hans-Jörg Trenz and Pieter de Wilde in the coordination of a cross-national survey on Euroscepticism in online debates in relation to the June 2009 European Parliament elections.
