Disinformation and Academia: Climate, COVID, and Social Networks

A Panel Discussion

Big scale problems like climate change and COVID-19 require big scale cooperation to address. Solutions are especially vulnerable to consensus-eroding effects of disinformation. If academics generate and disseminate knowledge for the public good, what role should Academia play in combatting disinformation? What role can it play when public trust is on the line? 


Join us for a panel discussion, Wednesday,  September 22nd at 4pm EST. The following panelists will share stories, approaches, and challenges across an array of disciplines and sectors:
Dan Dudis, Environmental Counsel for US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse

Emily Ferrier, Social Sciences and Entrepreneurship Librarian at Brown

Dr. Ashish Jha, Dean of the School of Public Health at Brown

Dr. Kate Moretti, Asst. Prof. of Emergency Medicine at Brown; Co-Chair of the RI ACEP Climate Change and Health Committee
