Polina Shevchenko is a Researcher at the Research Centre for Communication and Culture (CECC) with extensive expertise in media analysis, intercultural communication, and social engagement. Her interdisciplinary background bridges European academic traditions with practical fieldwork in migration contexts.

Her educational foundation includes:

• PhD in Media and Information and Library Science (Lomonosov Moscow State University, 2016-2019)
• Master in Information and Communication (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3, 2017-2018)
• Master in Political Philosophy (Sorbonne Université, 2015-2016)
• Master in Journalism (Lomonosov Moscow State University, 2010-2015)

Her research critically examines Francophone media ecosystems through publications like Le Monde and Le Temps, analyzing how media constructs cross-cultural narratives within political philosophy frameworks. Current work explores AI-communication intersections in the "Comunicação e Inteligência Artificial" project (2023-2025), focusing on chatbots and digital discourse. She integrates theoretical rigor with real-world applications through refugee language instruction and translation services for detained migrants via the European Solidarity Corps Program. Her methodology combines media semiotics, intercultural theory, and social practice to address contemporary communication challenges in globalized societies.

Professional activities demonstrate consistent commitment to social justice through linguistic empowerment, with fieldwork directly informing her academic perspective on media's role in migration narratives. Current research trajectories indicate growing focus on AI ethics in cross-cultural communication contexts.
