Panel Discussion: Misinformation Society
In recent years, the United States has hit a crisis point in terms of misinformation and disinformation. Rumors and falsehoods have become inescapable online, fueling division, protests, and public policy debates. Join us for a free panel discussion on the science and history of disinformation, with University of Akron faculty from the fields of Bibliography, History, Psychology, and Science Education. The panel will discuss how misinformation and disinformation proliferate in our society, what motivates the spread, and what we can do to combat falsehoods in our classrooms and communities.
This free event is open to all, but registration is required.
This event is part of the Cummings Center’s Brown Bag History series, which invites guests to drop in, bring a meal, and enjoy a lunchtime conversation about history and culture. All Brown Bag History events are free to attend and include free admission to the National Museum of Psychology and Institute galleries.
