Should we ignore people who are spreading misinformation because they will believe what they want to believe and it's better to avoid conflict? Or is there a respectable way to respond and combat the misinformation and disinformation that is dividing our society and eroding our communication networks? Come to this session to learn about misinformation and disinformation and how to identify their key characteristics. This session will encourage you to take action, and it will provide you with some tools to combat misinformation and disinformation. Content Warning: This session may include topics, conversations, or examples that some students might find disturbing.

Registration will close 1 hour before the event starts and the Zoom link will be emailed out then.
