Description

Improving the global management of health (mis)information. This project aims to investigate how health mis/disinformation is managed globally and assess which kinds of governance initiatives are most effective in addressing this problem. Through an in-depth comparison of four global initiatives, this project expects to answer current research gaps concerning the best practices, challenges, and barriers in addressing health mis/disinformation globally, as well as further our understanding of how contemporary global governance operates. The expected outcome of this project is an evidence base to enhance and develop global responses to health mis/disinformation. This should provide significant benefit to Australia’s efforts to improve regional and global health security.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4408 - Political Science.
