Marika Barbieri-Antonoglou recently graduated from the University of Ottawa with a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Political Science and a minor in Conflict Studies and Human Rights. She will be pursuing a Master’s degree in Political Science, focusing on democratic backsliding in the United States under Donald Trump. Her research interests centre on the growing role that technology and artificial intelligence play in shaping political systems, with a particular focus on how digital technologies influence democratic resilience, governance, and public trust. She is especially interested in how AI, information ecosystems, and emerging technologies are becoming defining forces in global politics, raising urgent questions about accountability, power, and the future of democracy.
