Join us for a meeting of the New York-Russia Public Policy Seminar, a forum co-hosted by the Harriman Institute at Columbia University and the New York University Jordan Center for the Advanced Study of Russia. This event is cosponsored by the New York University Center for Social Media and Politics.
In the aftermath of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, one of the most enduring stories has been the scale with which Russia exploited weaknesses in the digital information environment to interfere with foreign elections, both domestically and abroad. While significant scholarly and journalistic work has studied both the strategies and possible effects of Russian interference, important questions remain. What impact (if any) did Russian foreign influence campaigns have on voters' beliefs and behaviors? How have Russian tactics developed over time? And what might we expect in regards to Russian interference around the 2020 U.S. Presidential election and beyond?
This event is supported by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
