Anastasia Kavada presents at the Democracy, the Digital and the Public Sphere Workshop, hosted by The Centre for the Study of Democracy, University of Westminster. The workshop sought to encourage a diverse conversation on the impact of an increasingly digitally mediated public sphere on contemporary democracy. Asking, to what extent is the digital undermining or enhancing democratic expectations? And what interventions could improve the democratic character of the public sphere?
