Event Description
Researchers in the fields of psychology and education have published dozens of studies exploring methods of combating misinformation, and some have had some success. One strategy with a lot of potential is the idea of "inoculating" people against misinformation by exposing them to misinformation strategies and raising their skepticism. This workshop will explore why the spread of misinformation is so difficult to prevent, how inoculation techniques work, and how to apply misinformation inoculation strategies to library instruction and programming.
