Literacy and democracy
In this episode of Aspects of Democracy, Professor Elin Wihlborg returns to talk about literacy in a modern era, when digital skills and media literacy are important parts of our abilities to understand society and express ourselves.
Elin is professor in political science with a broad background from welfare and democracy research and specialised in studies of how digitalisation of society affects interaction between political structures and the everyday life of citizens.
