Details

Critical Conversations is a monthly series sponsored by the Office of the Provost in which a panel of experts thoughtfully engage in "Critical Conversations" about important cross-disciplinary and often controversial topics. Centered around a complex question, each panel will cover disciplinary lenses, such as historical, legal, societal, ethical, and medical contexts. This is followed by a rich Q&A session interaction with the audience

The panel will discuss the factors that shape our understanding of truth and the ethical responsibilities of media and individuals in mitigating the spread of misinformation.
