Polarization, Misinformation and Civil Discourse in US Politics

Register

Please join us for an engaging discussion on the state of political polarization and the spread of misinformation, and how both undermine civil discourse in U.S. politics. 

Professor Lauren Copeland (Baldwin-Wallace University), a self-described "politics and data-science nerd," who will discuss polarization in U.S. politics and strategies about how we can build connections with and engage in real, but civil, discourse with those whose political values we may not share. 

She will be joined by librarian Elora Agsten (College of Wooster) who will share her expertise on mis- and disinformation and how we can detect it and avoid inadvertently
spreading it, especially during campaign seasons when it is likely to be rampant. 

This event is designed to help us learn more about political communication facilitate thoughtful dialogue and cultivate a greater sense of mutual understanding across political
divides. It is open to all members of the Baldwin Wallace University campus and the broader BW community. 

We invite you to join us at 7pm on Zoom.
