About

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Media Studies and Journalism at Masaryk University in Brno, Czechia. My areas of expertise include populist political communication, media representations, and text analysis. I have studied the role of communication, opportunities, and political actors in populism, post-truth politics, emotions, and the successes of populist radical right parties.
