SUMMARY:Doing Digital Platform Research with Australian Internet Observatory
DESCRIPTION:A free Australian Internet Observatory Webinar exploring the tool and process for using data donations as a method for collecting digital platform data. Presented by Prof Dan Angus (QUT)\, Prof Nic Carah (University of Queensland) and Dr Amanda Lawrence (RMIT University).\n\nDigital platforms shape how Australians access information\, communicate\, entertain\, engage with government services\, participate in public discourse\, and conduct business. Understanding digital platforms\, and how we interact with them\, may offer new insights for a wide range of critical public interest issues across public health\, education\, entertainment\, cybersecurity and democratic inclusion.\n\nDespite the importance of digital platforms and the abundance of data they contain\, the capacity to independently collect and analyse data from digital platforms for research remains limited.\n\nTo address this challenge\, the Australian Internet Observatory is developing new tools and methods for social data research using data donations\, APIs and other methods. These newer approaches can also be combined with other established methods such as surveys\, interviews\, focus groups\, content analysis\, administrative data\, simulations and other qualitative and quantitative techniques.  Prof Dan Angus\, Prof Nic Carah and Dr Amanda Lawrence will provide an overview of the tools being developed at AIO and how they are currently being applied in research projects.\n\nFind out more about what we are building and how you can use these tools for your research.\nMore information\nRegister now: https://events.humanitix.com/digital-platform-research-aio\n\nNote: Event details are listed in AEST (UTC+10).

SUMMARY:Look What You Made Me Do: How FIMI Actors Weaponize Pop Culture
DESCRIPTION:What if viral cultural moments were not just entertainment\, but strategic entry points for influence? \nHigh-visibility events\, from major entertainment events to viral online controversies\, are increasingly used within the information environment as opportunities for influence and narrative shaping. \nThis webinar explores how Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) actors exploit these moments to inject geopolitical narratives\, and influence public discourse. From coordinated engagement around events\, such as Eurovision\, to the amplification of polarising online trends\, these dynamics reveal a shared playbook combining narrative seeding\, meme-driven framing\, and cross-platform amplification. \nJoin Rachele Gilman (Principal) and Zoé Fourel (Senior Analyst) from Cardigan Collective as they unpack how these strategies operate in practice\, how they intersect with domestic dynamics\, and how to distinguish between organic and orchestrated trends. \nClick here to learn more and register to attend. \nNote: Event details are listed in Central European Summer Time (CEST\, UTC+2).
