Propaganda and Strongmen: from Mussolini to Berlusconi to Trump

Speaker: Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat

Mussolini pioneered many features of propaganda and personality cults that are still in use today. In this lecture, Professor Ben-Ghiat will give an overview of propaganda, how its implementation and reception have changed over a century, from newsreels to social media, and what has remained the same. Professor Ben-Ghiat will be joining us remotely and there will be a Q&A session following the lecture.
