On December 15, join the Mississippi Humanities Council for a conversation on the polarization of American news and politics.
The program will address the U.S.’s increasing division over political beliefs, how news silos have affected how we determine truth and reality, and what to do to combat the current polarization. Panelists include Dr. Talia Stroud (Director, Center for Media Engagement and Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Texas at Austin), Dr. Marvin King (Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Mississippi), and Kayleigh Skinner (Managing Editor at Mississippi Today). MHC Executive Director Dr. Stuart Rockoff will moderate the program.
The program will be livestreamed directly to the MHC Facebook page, so come prepared to watch, listen, and ask questions in the chat.
This program is supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s “Democracy and the Informed Citizen” initiative, in partnership with the Federation of State Humanities Councils.
