A story of powers and capabilities: Interview with Natalia Chaban
Natalia Chaban and five other colleagues spoke during the last day of the conference on specific case studies relating to disinformation in the political sector. Chaban has focused on perceptions of the European Union as a counterpart to Ukraine, viewing her work through three lenses of strategic narratives: identity, systemic, and issue specific.
Chaban argues that to create public diplomacy with countries currently in conflict, it is important to listen to the narratives emitted by those receivers, in the case of her study: Ukraine. Her work as an internationally renowned expert at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, has furthered research on Europe and the European Union around the world.
