Join our speakers: Spencer Overton, Kristina Wilfore, and David Brody for a discussion on the Election. From mis and disinformation flying around about mail-in ballots, inauthentic coordinated behavior by Russia and QAnon, to threatening emails from fake Proud Boys to Democratic voters coordinated by Iran this year during elections mis/disinformation has been pervasive. With dis/misinformation campaigns and voter interference at scale with the current mass media infrastructure, this event will focus our discussion on Election mis/disinformation campaigns now and how we expect this to evolve over the years, Accurate voting information for voters, Use of social media to combat mis/disinformation, Equity and fairness in voting |

The Office of Student Life, in partnership with GW's Fraternity and Sorority Life councils and the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, is thrilled to bring to the GW community a discussion with Isabel Wilkerson, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author of the New York Times Best Seller, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. In conversation with Adena Kirstein, Executive Director of GW Hillel, Wilkerson will discuss her recent work, which offers a caste system as a framework by which we understand injustice, inequity, and discrimination in America. Wilkerson writes of topics that are difficult to read about, but her work is powerful, necessary, and comes at a pivotal moment in time for our country. | All Students | |
