Election Misinformation: What to Expect and What to Do About It

Thursday, April 18
Faculty Discussion Leaders: Librarian Paul Bond and Librarian Dana Curtin
Time: 11:00 am

With a major election coming up this year we can expect political operatives to play fast and loose with the truth. What have we seen in the past with regards to election misinformation and what does that tell us about our current situation? What makes us susceptible to misinformation? How can we guard against it? What are the impacts and implications of political misinformation? Is there a non-partisan approach to misinformation?

This panel discussion will address questions like these with faculty guests Professor Carla Michalak, Professor Steve Call and Professor Courtney O’Hagen.
