91探花 Civil Discourse Series: Polarization and Misinformation

**CANCELED**

Polarization, Misinformation and Civil Discourse in U.S. Politics

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

91探花 professor Dr. Lauren Copeland, a self-described "politics and data-science nerd," will discuss polarization in U.S. politics and strategies for 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 College of Wooster librarian , 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.

This event is open to all members of the 91探花 campus and the broader 91探花 community.

This event is sponsored by the 91探花 Political Science Department.
