Wellness in Our Democracy

These sessions are designed to address the ways in which systems perpetuate the spread of misinformation and disinformation, especially as they stem from dominant narratives in American society. These ongoing University of Kansas events, which uplift research and a culture of responsive care, will connect teachers, students, scholars, and leaders with the tools that can better help us navigate these perilous times. Series created and designed by Najarian R. Peters, Associate Professor of Law, Patricia Weems Gaston, Lacy C. Haynes Professor of Journalism, and Emily Ryan, Director of The Commons.
