Om Charlotte

Beskrivning om dig själv: Charlotte Wagnsson is Professor of Political Science at the Swedish Defence University. Her research lies at the intersection of political communication, political psychology, and security studies, with a particular focus on malign information influence: strategically crafted information disseminated by authoritarian regimes and other hostile actors with the intent to cause harm. Her work examines the content and dissemination of such influence, as well as societal susceptibilities and possible countermeasures.

Wagnsson leads "Påverkanslabbet" - the Information Influence Lab - a pilot project aimed at strengthening societal resilience by systematising existing research and developing responses to misleading narratives. The project is sponsored by the Hamrin Foundation.

Wagnsson supervises PhD students and teaches master’s level courses on strategic narratives and malign information influence in the digital media environment.

She earned her PhD from Stockholm University in 2000, with a dissertation on Russian political rhetoric and public opinion. She holds a Master’s degree from Lund University and has taught at Uppsala and Stockholm Universities. She was a guest scholar at the Western European Union Institute for Security Studies in Paris.
