Disinformation
(2023) p.173-186- Abstract

Charting out a course for such strategic research agenda, the chapter argues that PD scholars should take a point of departure in the transdisciplinary frontier of disinformation research spanning from philosophy to psychology and sociology. By translating these insights into pre-existing PD frameworks and through continuous engagement with PD professionals, the chapter argues that we can build a strategic research agenda that delivers cutting-edge insights while being informed by PD actors’ experiences of the phenomenon’s contemporary and ever-changing empirical manifestations.
