Title:  The pervasive polarization induced by social media, the "echo chamber effects,” and the impact on Supreme and Constitutional Courts across the globe.
Date: November 18, 2022 - from 3.00 PM to 4.30 PM (Italian time)
Where: Aula B, Physics and Astronomy Dept
Abstract: The Talk will focus on how Supreme and Constitutional Courts across the globe are affected by the pervasive polarization process that social media and the “echo chamber effect” trigger. Born as non-partisan fora to adjudicate rights and solve institutional clashes, Courts are increasingly seen as taking sides in social and political disputes. The Talk will track down the phenomenon and propose two types of solutions: depoliticization and balancing a political court.
