The well-known social media creator AustrianKiwi will visit the Department of Communication Studies at the University of Salzburg on Wednesday, 14 May at 9:15 a.m.

In his guest lecture, held in the Anna-Bahr-Mildenburg Lecture Hall (Unipark Nonntal), he will explore the intersection of humour, migration, and personal branding—themes he engages with creatively, humorously, and critically in his high-reach online videos.
