The roundtable event brings together PhD researchers to discuss critical themes from their ongoing doctoral research around digital politics, state-society relations and state legitimacy in the Global South. It aims to crystallize deep and useful insights on the dynamics, potency, challenges and possibilities of social media and new frontiers for state-citizen engagement in and across the Global South. The roundtable will be moderated by a senior academic, who will draw on the insights and experiences of the panelists to stimulate conversation on the theme.

The platform offers a unique and engaging opportunity for PhD researchers in this area to disseminate their work, and get useful and critical feedback on improving their research. It will also offer a platform for greater visibility and collaboration across disciplines.
