Poli sci work on authoritarianism and populism largely overlooks audiovisual strategies.
Our multi-modal study uses a new dataset of 11,000+ regime YouTube videos in Turkey.

Before my PhD, I worked mostly in arts and media. Regimes invest lots in AV media, but Pol Sci largely doesn't engage it.

I'll present findings from a new dataset of over 11,000 YouTube videos. In two projects with @draege.bsky.social, our multi-method analysis examines regimes' instrumentalizations of history and foreign threat production.
