Elections and Narratives: Ways of Containing Polarisation
The Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT) is pleased to invite you to Elections and Narratives: Ways of Containing Polarisation, an online event hosted by our Narrative Peacebuilding Hub.
Democratic elections are vital, but with so much at stake they can easily polarise. Alina Rocha Menocal and Solon Simmons of IFIT’s Inclusive Narratives Practice Group and Amalia Pulido Gómez of IFIT’s Mexico Peacebuilding Support Group will reflect on some of the important elections occurring across the globe in 2024. Contributing perspectives from different regions and disciplines, the panellists will discuss how narratives are used either to increase polarisation or to improve social engagement in election periods.
Date: Thursday, June 27, 2024, 4-5pm CET
Registration: Please click here to register
Format: Roundtable (30 minutes) followed by Q&A and open discussion (30 minutes)
Moderator: Jasmina Brankovic, Research Associate, IFIT
IFIT Expert Panellists:
- Amalia Pulido Gómez, President, Electoral Institute of the State of Mexico
