• Senior Lecturer at Open University since at least 2022
• Specializes in Russian media strategies and post-truth politics

Her work examines how Russian state media like Russia Today (RT) constructs narratives about global events, particularly through conspiracy theories. She analyzes these as tools of public diplomacy and soft power within the framework of information warfare.

Recent publications highlight disinformation trends in Russian international broadcasting, including analysis of RT's role in election meddling, crisis response, and post-pandemic media environments. Her research also explores the relationship between narrative construction, identity politics, and security policy in contemporary Russia.
