Join us for this timely and informative in-person talk, by SFU professor, Dr. Ahmed Al-Rawi, followed by a Q&A session.
In a world where headlines travel faster than facts, how do we tell what’s true? This presentation dives into the rise of misinformation – how it spreads, why it matters, and what we can do about it. Learn about the many forms of false information, from propaganda to “disruptive information” designed to erode trust in experts, and explore practical ways to fact-check and think critically in today’s noisy media landscape.
This is a free event, registration is required.
Dr. Ahmed Al-Rawi is an Associate Professor of News, Social Media, and Public Communication at the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University.
