News, Fake News, and Deep Fakes. How Do We Know What’s True?, Part 3: Disinformation and Democracy

Episode Topic: Disinformation and Democracy

As was evident from its interference in the 2016 presidential election, no country has done more to actively sow distrust and undermine faith in U.S. democracy than Russia. The Kremlin disinformation threat to U.S. public trust and faith in its institutions, and how Washington can counter that threat, is the topic of the third lecture in ND’s Ten Years Hence lecture series. 

Featured Speakers: 

• Suzanne Spaulding, Senior Advisor for Homeland Security and Director of the Defending Democratic Institutions Project, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)
• James S. O’Rourke, Teaching Professor of Management, University of Notre Dame
