Research

Dr Athina Karatzogianni holds a PhD in Politics from Nottingham, an MA in International Conflict Analysis from Kent, and a BA in International Relations with Politics from Lancaster. Athina is one of the earliest UK researchers on digital developments and their impact on media, politics and society and has carved a niche within the areas of new media theory and global politics, for the study of cyber conflict and the use of digital technologies by social movements, protest, and insurgency groups. Athina is a new media theorist with an international conflict analysis and political sociology background, which is often employed to investigate the impact of new technologies on social and political communication in a variety of settings (including the Iraq war protests, Chinese cyber-dissidents and the social media enabled uprisings in the Middle East). Her research looks at the theoretical significance of the network forms of new technologies, on the phenomenology of social protest and resistance and on the formation of identities and differences.  It explores the ways in which new network forms of technology overlap with the new network biopolitics of sociopolitical movements, and how this interacts with the arborescent forms of ethnoreligious identity formation and the formation of master-signifiers and constitutive exclusions in relation to such identities. 

Athina is currently on study leave for the first semester starting August 2011 to finish her research monograph The Real, the Virtual and the Imaginary State for Palgrave. The second semester she is on research leave working full-time as the Principal Investigator for the FP7 MIG@NET ‘Transnational Digital Networks, Migration and Gender’, which commenced 1st March 2010, Study: ‘Internet Conflict in Online Diaspora Networks’ (138K Euro). The project addresses the question of participation of migrant individuals and groups in transnational digital networks by employing innovative methodologies combining online and off-line research. Our contribution to the project is to both engage in research with all partners and to lead the ‘Thematic Study on Intercultural Conflict and Dialogue’, as well as contribute to the study ‘Religious Practices’.

During her sabbatical (2011/12), Athina is a Visiting Scholar at the University of Illinois (Department of Communications Chicago).
