Polarization, Misinformation and Civil Discourse in US Politics

Join us for a discussion on political polarization and the spread of misinformation that undermines civil discourse in U.S. politics. Learn about political communication and how to facilitate thoughtful dialogue and cultivate a sense of mutual understanding across political divides. BW's Dr. Lauren Copeland will discuss strategies to build connections with and engage in real, but civil, discourse. College of Wooster librarian Elora Agsten will share her expertise on mis- and disinformation and how we can detect it and avoid inadvertently spreading it.
