Semarang, 11 September 2025 \u2013 The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP), Diponegoro University, held an Inaugural Lecture themed \u201cDisinformation Studies as an Emerging Field of Knowledge\u201d<\/em> featuring two experts from Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil, namely Prof. Afonso Albuquerque and Prof. Thaiane Oliveira.
The event, held at the Student Center Room (PKM Room) of FISIP UNDIP, served as an important forum to discuss the urgency of disinformation as an increasingly complex global phenomenon. The two Brazilian academics emphasized that disinformation is not merely an issue of \u201cfake news,\u201d but a structural phenomenon involving political strategies, economic interests, and technological developments that can undermine democracy and public institutions.<\/p>\n

International Collaboration for Academic Resilience<\/strong>
In his remarks, Dean of FISIP UNDIP, Dr. Teguh Yuwono, M.Pol.Admin., stressed the importance of sustainable international academic cooperation. FISIP UNDIP is committed not only to presenting critical discourse on global challenges such as disinformation, but also to strengthening collaboration with international partner universities. \u201cThis cooperation with Universidade Federal Fluminense is expected to build stronger academic capacity and produce tangible solutions to face threats to democracy and national sovereignty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Brazilian Experts Highlight Global South Perspectives<\/strong>
Prof. Afonso Albuquerque explained that disinformation is a far more complex phenomenon than just fake news. \u201cDisinformation is more than just \u2018fake news.\u2019 It is a systemic phenomenon that requires integrated and interdisciplinary approaches to be addressed effectively,\u201d<\/em> he emphasized.
Meanwhile, Prof. Thaiane Oliveira highlighted the importance of epistemic sovereignty amid the global wave of disinformation. \u201cIn times of disinformation, the Global South must assert epistemic sovereignty by producing knowledge that reflects our own realities and challenges. Academic exchanges such as between Brazil and Indonesia are essential to strengthen democratic resilience,\u201d<\/em> she explained.<\/p>\n

Strengthening Academic Networks<\/strong>
The event\u2019s moderator, Nurist S. Ulfa, Ph.D., conveyed that this forum not only enriched academic insights but also strengthened international networks.
\u201cThis cross-country discussion serves as an important foundation in building joint strategies to face the wave of disinformation that threatens democracy and social cohesion,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n

By presenting perspectives from Brazil and Indonesia, this event is part of the implementation of the role of public universities as the frontline in building information resilience. FISIP UNDIP hopes this initiative will continue into sustainable research collaborations in the future.<\/p>\n
