About the Disentangling Disinformation Series:
We live in an era where the confines of understanding are not limited to a lack of information but rather a bombardment of countering narratives. It can be daunting to sift through the barrage of messaging, leaving room for the simple yet harmful decision to ignore it all. What you see online is not necessarily what is happening in the world, and the disinformation we are encountered with is costing us the ability to stay accurately informed. This series of teach-ins aims to provide tools to navigate the current landscape of media.

This is a space for anyone, from the person who feels confident about their viewpoints and their understanding of world issues, to those who do not even know where to begin and may be scared to ask. Through the lens of a variety of disciplines including journalism, sociology, political science, and psychology, each session will equip you with essential guidelines to make sense of what’s what and cultivate a culture of conscious media consumption.
