In the summer semester of 2023, Dr. Christina Viehmann will hold the professorship of Communication and Media Studies with a focus on democratic decision-making in the digital society at HHU-Düsseldorf. In research and teaching, she is concerned with the consequences of public communication processes in digital media environments for social cohesion as well as the decision-making of political elites.

In particular, situations of crises and social conflicts serve as specific background foils and methods of computational communication science as analytical tools.
