In the 2023 summer term, Dr Christina Viehmann will temporarily fill the Chair of Communication and Media Studies with a focus on democratic decision-making in the digital society at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf.

In her research and teaching activities, she focuses on the consequences of public communication processes in digital media environments for societal cohesion and the decision-making of political elites. In particular, situations of crisis and social conflict serve as specific backgrounds and methods of computational communication science as analytical tools.
