2020 Project
The Politics of Contention Symposium
Communication, Populism, and the Crisis of Democracy
The 2020 Project was informed by the theoretical and empirical perspectives shared by visiting scholars on Day 1, which were then synthesized into “Concepts and Themes at the Intersection of Communication, Populism, and Democracy” by Lewis Friedland.
Chris Wells next gave an “Overview of the Wisconsin Project,” followed by Mike Wagner’s talk on “Major Themes: Medium and Messaging,” and then Chris Wells returning to close out the session with a talk on “Layers of the Communication Ecology.” These talks attempted to introduce visitors to the larger communication ecology and contention politics project and seek feedback on future directions.
The 2020 Project feedback continued in Session 2, with Chris Wells leading the group through a “Discussion of Core Concepts, Questions and Directions.”
