In the XII. edition of the event series
Frankfurter Gespräche, Dr. Benedikt Bender, research associate at our
professorship, organized a talk with "MrWissen2Go", Mirko
Drotschmann, on March 23, 2022. The event was conducted in presence as well as
broadcast via live stream and was titled: "Knowledge, Truth and the
Creation of our Reality in the Age of the 'Digital Revolution'". The
lecture of "Mr.Wissen2Go" was on the one hand about the use of social
media for knowledge transfer (viewing behavior, learning and attention curve)
and on the other hand about the challenges consumers and producers are
confronted with. In the subsequent conversation and discussion with the
audience, it was then "truth claims" and the "struggle" for
knowledge and truth that came up and were controversially discussed. Overall,
the event was a great opportunity to establish a connection between an expert
in knowledge communication and our methods team.
