Amid the current Israel-Gaza conflict, social media influencers – previously apolitical players – are crafting persuasive narratives. Their posts may be limited in number, but their influence can be signficiant. We should remain vigilant to their effects, writes K. Jonathan Klüser
Prior to joining the University of Zurich's Department of Political Science, he was a postdoctoral researcher for the Varieties of Egalitarianism project at the University of Konstanz.
As a public policy scholar, Jonathan focuses on political agenda-setting, which includes both traditional political elites and emerging political actors on social media platforms.
He also examines how institutional cooperation impacts agenda-setting dynamics and ultimately leads to diverse policy outcomes.
Jonathan earned his PhD in political science from Aarhus University in 2020, completing a dissertation on political agenda-setting in multiparty governments.
