What is the role of facts in a democracy? As the media has become polarized and fragmented, the relationship between fact and news reporting has become increasingly loose, with potentially dire consequences. What are appropriate answers to these new challenges to democracy? We look forward to hearing Nancy Rosenblum’s take on the crisis of democracy brought about by conspiracy theories in her talk, “The New Conspiracism and the Assault on Democracy” tonight at The Graduate Center or invite you to watch the livestream! Nancy L. Rosenblum is Senator Joseph Clark Professor of Ethics in Politics and Government emerita at Harvard University. She will be drawing on on ideas from her book A Lot of People Are Saying: The New Conspiracism and the Assault on Democracy.
Presented with the Center for the Humanities.
