## Description

The Character Assassination and Reputation Politics Research Lab (CARP) is a research and knowledge-sharing organisation focused on how character attacks shape reputations, politics, and public life. Its work brings together historical and contemporary perspectives, examining topics such as propaganda, fake news, misinformation, strategic communication, scandals, and the social and psychological effects of attacks on individuals. CARP shares its research through books, scholarly publications, blog posts, media coverage, webinars, and podcasts. Its publications include textbooks and handbooks on character assassination and reputation management, as well as studies of historical figures, political rhetoric, deception, and reputation politics. The lab also organises conferences and seminars, including the CARP conference series, and develops research projects such as the CARP Database. Through its team, partners, events, and publications, CARP supports the study and discussion of reputation attacks across different eras and cultures. The organisation also invites people to connect through CARP membership, donations, and its newsletter.
