BIO
Gergana Tzvetkova has more than ten years of experience in research and project management. Her areas of interest include human rights, women's rights, digital rights, foreign policy, global governance, transitional justice. During her stay at Ca' Foscari, Gergana will implement the project SteREotyping, DiSInformation, and PoliticiSaTion: links between attacks against the Istanbul Convention and increased online gender-based violence (RESIST).
The project examines how disinformation-driven false and harmful narratives could have a negative influence on the protection and promotion of human rights and on efforts to counter gender-based violence against women. Online violence against women and disinformation are two phenomena posing grave risks to European Union societies. Thus, the research seeks to identify and analyse in depth specific harmful and false narratives, as well as to formulate positive narratives and policy recommendations to neutralise them.
