I work as a research assistant in the study that examines the availability, reception and production of information from the perspective of young Russian and Ukrainian speakers who have recently arrived in Finland. I hold a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics from the Vasyl Stus Donetsk National University in Ukraine.

I work as a University Lecturer and as a researcher in the DECA project. As a media researcher, I participate in the research group that focuses on various themes, such as epistemic institutions, the epistemic capacity of citizens, and the historical changes in the formation of these phenomena. I am particularly interested in how the ongoing “multi-crisis”, i.e., intertwined political, economic, social and ecological crises, and our digital media environment are affecting our epistemic institutions and capacity today, and how this is reflected in current media presentations.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Computer Science Department, Aalto University. At DECA I study social phenomena occurring in various platforms, from user interactions in online social media to MPs voting behavior in parliamentary systems. I use computational methods and modeling to study the big data for such platforms and to gain understanding how different phenomena such as polarization, bias and unfairness occur and persist in different platforms.

I am a researcher in the part of DECA that focuses on multilingualism as a factor affecting the epistemic capacity of society. As a translation researcher, my interest lies in journalistic translation and the role and methods of translation in our multilingual society. As part of the project, my focus is on the translation that takes place when information on people belonging to linguistic minorities or information needed by them is produced using digital means.

I am a postdoctoral researcher in journalism from Tampere University and a researcher in the DECA consortium’s research group that focuses on society’s epistemic capacity and social trust. I study counter-expertise and its creation in the current hybrid media landscape. My research focuses on various areas, such as how counter-expertise challenges traditional authorities of knowledge and the criteria and basis on which the audiences of counter-experts evaluate different sources of expertise.

I lead the Collective Ownership and Epistemic Capacity of Information research group, which focuses on the collaborative production of information and its collective psychological and epistemic ownership. I am interested in how collectively produced information serves as a source of social identity and how people determine who has the right to produce and use information concerning a community, as well as how the collective ownership of information can be a significant instrument for social change. I am a professor of social psychology at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Helsinki, and my specialty lies in the social psychology of intergroup relations.

I lead the Risks and Security in Social Media research group and act as an assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science at Aalto University. My research focuses on the field of network science, and I am particularly experienced in the analysis of social networks. My role in the DECA project is to analyse social media data and enhance the project’s computational methodology.

I am a sociologist and have been working as a researcher for different universities and in the Finnish Youth Research Society. My scholarly interests have been about youth leisure and services and questions related to migration and ethnicities. In the DECA-project, I am interested in the significance of knowledge in the identity construction of new refugees and in their attachments to surrounding communities.

I am the principal investigator of the University of Eastern Finland’s DECA sub-project and one of the leaders of the work package that researches the epistemic capacity of linguistic minorities. My main research themes in the project focus especially on linguistic accessibility as part of epistemic capacity and the role of machine translation in the procurement and production of multilingual information.

I am a postdoctoral researcher in translation studies. My previous research interests have involved translation in research contexts and reception of audiovisual translation. In the DECA project, I study the role of translating and translation technology in the epistemic capacities of refugees and other immigrant groups in Finland.

I am a computational social scientist in the Risks and Security on Social Media research group under the DECA consortium. My research involves applying network methods to understand political phenomena and outcomes. More specifically, I model politics and related epistemic processes as a system of complex interactions among political entities occurring within and across multiple relational contexts. Within DECA, I engage in empirical data analysis and methodological development, while also inductively contributing to the advancement of relevant theoretical frameworks.

I lead the DECA project’s research team at the Faculty of Law. My background is in law, and I specialise in communications law, especially the freedom of expression. In the project, I study the normative foundation of epistemic capacities as well as the role of legislative practices in this age of algorithms.

I am a researcher in the DECA research group that focuses on linguistic accessibility as part of epistemic capacity and the role of machine translation in the reception and production of multilingual information. As a translation researcher, I am interested in how people other than translators discover machine translators and use them in their everyday lives, and want to explore and reflect on the role that machine translation plays in modern society.

I am a doctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki, Finland.  My research interests include media activism, social justice, and digital rights movements. In the DECA project, I examine current EU digital policies and their implementation in the Finnish context.

I work as a university researcher at Tampere University’s Communication Sciences Unit. In DECA, I look at the ways in which media actors maintain and strengthen the epistemic rights of citizens and the social status of traditional news media outlets. We are also developing new operating models with the Foundation to Promote Journalistic Culture (JOKES), the Council for Mass Media in Finland (CMM), and the Finnish Foundation for Media and Development (Vikes). My other research topics include the digital media environment, the challenges faced by journalism and public debate, online hate and harassment, and legal questions and solution models.

I am a researcher in the DECA's research group that focuses on collective epistemic ownership and epistemic capacities. My work primarily focuses on the knowledge creation of online epistemic communities, particularly in relation to their social identities. I am also a doctoral researcher in social psychology at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Helsinki, where my research extends into examining alternative epistemologies and visual elements of social media.

I am a global politics and communication master’s student at the University of Helsinki, specialising in media and democracy. In the DECA project, I work as a research assistant, focusing on Informational Rights and Politics. My previous research, for example through CEU’s Democracy Institute, has covered local media ownership and global editorial independence of state media.

I am a postdoctoral researcher and work in the Institutions and Trust research group. I conduct qualitative research based on interviews and content analysis on the themes that are susceptible to polarisation and which easily attract the attention of populist alternative media sources. In addition to the themes that intensify confrontation, I look at the epistemic understanding of information and counter-information in populist alternative media. I study the perceptions that the creators of populist alternative media have about the production of information and the methods they use to produce counter-information.

I am a doctoral researcher at Tampere University, and my focus is on diversity in journalism. As part of DECA, I work with my colleagues in Tampere to assess how the trust people place in media actors can be supported. The key focus of my sub-project is to pilot the News Source Diversity Meter at Yle, the Finnish Broadcasting Company, working together with our Yle partners to find out what types of information a public service media company needs on the diversity of its content and how this information can be utilised. (The project is scheduled for spring 2023.)

I am co-leader of the the Risks and Security in Social Media research group and an associate professor of political science at the University of Helsinki. I study collaboration and communication networks between organizations and individuals, and related phenomena such as political polarization. I'm particularly interested in how these phenomena manifest themselves in the field of climate policy.
