06.11.2025💡 Public talks at SUZ: Laura Wiesböck on «Mental Health in the Digital Attention Economy.»

Of trauma, triggers and ADHD: Thanks to the digital attention economy, mental health is being destigmatized, shifting from being a highly personal matter, to becoming a subject of public discussion. In her talk, Laura Wiesböck explores how platform mechanics are shaping society’s approach to mental health in which common emotional experiences become blurred with clinical diagnoses, and pathologization and commercialization are on the rise.

Upcoming public talk: «Mental Health in the Digital Attention Economy.»

Guest speaker: Dr. Laura Wiesböck, Senior Researcher and Head of the junior research group Digitalization and Social Transformation at IHS (Institute for Advanced Studies) Vienna.
