With Trump re-entering The White House, what can the UK learn about the role disinformation played in his campaign and how it will be used to further a right wing agenda? Join us for a special conversation about what to look out for and how propaganda and disinformation creates a dangerous mirror world.
Renee DiResta, author of 'Invisible Rulers: the people who turn lies into reality', is joining us online from the USA to share her invaluable insights into the challenge that faces democracies right across the world. Renee has written about has written about conspiracy theories, pseudoscience and she has also served as an advisor to the US Congress on ongoing efforts to prevent online and social media disinformation. You don't have to have read or listened to her book, but it helps. The event is for anyone (and that should be EVERYONE!) concerned about the direction of travel in social and mainstream media. The subject will be discussed in readily accessible language and Renee will be giving us tips on how to fight back. We're extremely lucky to be able to run this session with Renee. Don't miss it!
