REPRESENT will be welcoming Nathalie Brack (Université Libre de Bruxelles) to discuss 'Political Parties and Post-Truth Politics'.

This seminar will present new research that aims at understanding post-truth politics and its implications for democratic societies by looking at one central actor: political parties, which play a vital role as opinion shapers. Therefore, this project seeks to determine to what extent, and why political parties in Europe contribute to post-truth politics. It focuses on one facet of this phenomenon: conspiracy discourse.

Nathalie Brack is Associate Professor in Political Science at the Université libre de Bruxelles and Visiting Professor at the College of Europe. She recently authored Opposing Europe in the European Parliament. Rebels and Radicals in the Chamber (Palgrave, 2018) and is co-editor of Sovereignty in Conflict: Political, Constitutional and Economic Dilemmas in the EU (Palgrave, forthcoming).
