Clarification of the purpose behind the series "In the mind of a party strategist"
This autumn, the Department of Journalism, Media and Communication (JMG) has presented a series of talks "In the mind of a party strategist", where strategists from all parties represented in the Swedish parliament have been invited to talk about their experiences with political and strategic communication. The last planned talk in the series has resulted in criticism and a petition has been published in protest against allowing the Sweden Democrats to speak at the University of Gothenburg. JMG hereby wishes to clarify the purpose of the series.
