Delighted to be in Granada presenting at FAKES. At a time when misinformation, online hate, and AI are transforming how we communicate, interdisciplinary dialogue has never been more important. Many thanks to the organizers!

Cristian Mungiu just won his second Palme d'Or at Cannes for FJORD; & I couldn't be more proud. My nephew is one of the child actors in this film. 🎬🌊 Romanian parents. A Norwegian village. A child abuse accusation that tears two worlds apart. It opens up difficult conversation! It’s worth seeing!

Delighted to have delivered a keynote at the International Graduate Conference in Communication at the University of Bucharest. A genuinely inspiring event bringing together exciting new research on media, journalism, politics, digital culture and AI.

Looking forward to this keynote at #IGCC2026. I’ll be speaking about AI, multimodality, and the complexities of detecting hate in digital media, questions that feel increasingly urgent.

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate today!

Just one of those days you wish you could pause! ☀️ Trinity looks magical today!

Yesterday at Cambridge: a fantastic event showcasing the extraordinary diversity of 🇷🇴research across disciplines: from linguistics and history to physics, medicine, brain sciences & astronomy. Inspiring conversations and ideas that show the power of interdisciplinary dialogue. 🎓✨

An amazing line-up of speakers and truly fruitful discussions on migration and human trafficking. A timely and urgent topic.

I enjoyed speaking at "Unseen and Unprotected: Modern Slavery in the Shadow of Migration" at Jesus College Cambridge yesterday. @petrebreazu.bsky.social and the other organisers brought together speakers and audience members who genuinely care about trafficked persons and other irregular migrants.
