The keynote and following discussions will focus on digital platforms and digitized communication in conflict studies. Prof Dr. Uitermark will present his work on digital platforms, social movements, and urban subcultures. Annie Waldherr will present her work in the Computational Communication Science Lab at the University of Vienna, where she and her team seek to advance various fields of communication science such as journalism and political communication through the use of computerized tools and algorithms for collecting, processing, analyzing, and visualizing large-scale, complex data.

Prof Justus Uitermark is a Prof of Urban Geography and the Academic Director of the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research at the University of Amsterdam. As a Professor of Urban Geography, he studies how we create urban environments and how those environments shape us. I draw upon different perspectives, ranging from human ecology and historical sociology to various strands of critical theory. One of the hallmarks of my work has been to bring opposing epistemologies into conversation. His research areas include reflexive computational social science, cities and social movements, Urban policy, and spatial inequality.
Prof Annie Waldherr is a Professor of Computational Communication Science in the Department of Communication at the University of Vienna since September 2020. She specializes on digitized public spheres and computational methods. With her team, she analyses how public issues emerge, from which perspectives they are publicly debated and interpreted, and how these processes have changed under the conditions of digitalization and datafication.
For a long time, the globalization of economics, politics, and other social fields was seen as an unstoppable development. In recent years, however, the global geopolitical landscape has witnessed a resurgence of spatial conflicts, particularly over issues of borders, national territories, and sovereignty. The emergence of new spatial conflicts, not only in Europe but around […]
