Influencer Diplomacy: a one-day symposium hosted by IERLab
Faye Mercier
Dear colleagues,
With apologies for crossposting…
The Influencer Ethnography Research Lab (IERLab) is pleased to present the Influencer Diplomacy Symposium. This is a one-day, online-only, open-access event focusing on the multifaceted role of influencers in diplomacy. The symposium offers a platform for scholars to examine how influencer cultures, practices, and industries shape diplomatic processes: from influencers taking on diplomatic roles and politicians adopting influencer strategies, to the ways influencer diplomacy extends beyond formal state and institutional settings into everyday politics, influencing public discourse and social engagement.
The symposium will feature a keynote address alongside a series of panel sessions that bring together scholars to discuss the evolving role of influencers in contemporary diplomacy.
