Event Details

Join us in the Harmon Room (LIBR 133) for a webinar watch party to learn how curation - the sharing of real, accurate, but incomplete information - can be just as potent a form of misinformation as lying or fraud. 

Regulation of misinformation has tended to focus on suppressing actively false claims, with relatively little attention to how true claims can mislead. Prof. O'Connor argues that this is shortsighted, and show why we need to spend just as much time thinking about curation as we do about lies. Dr. Cailin O'Connor is the Chancellor's Professor in the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of California, Irvine, and co-author of 'The Misinformation Age: How False Beliefs Spread' (Yale University Press, 2019).

Food will be served starting at about 11:45am. This webinar is presented by the Center for Research Libraries (CRL).
