ARC professors Kathleen O’Brien, Paul Knox and Erik Haarala discuss issues such as: Is the news real, fake, satirical or biased? How do viral memes get started and spread? What is the impact on student writing and discussion? This session is part of the Fall 2018 ARC Colloquium: Misinformation in the Public Sphere, which addresses the extent of misinformation of all kinds in the world around us, seeks to make us aware of its existence, and proposes conversations about how to deal with it inside and outside the classroom.
