Eva Rudholzer
Member of the Everyday Media Lab
In June 2023, Eva Rudholzer started working as a research associate and doctoral student at the IWM in the Everyday Media lab. Within the project "NewOrder" she investigates the understanding of perceptions of roles, sources and hierarchies in online scientific discourses and their impact on individuals' trustworthiness assessment and knowledge gain. Furthermore, she is interested in how personal experiences with science communication affect the selection of scientific information in online contexts and the trust in science.
Eva Rudholzer studied Media Economics and Media Management & Communication at the Stuttgart Media University – where she focused on science communication in the environmental field for her master's thesis. After graduating, she worked for two years as a science communication consultant for the Rhineland Study of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Bonn.
