Calling Bullshit

How do YOU decide what is true?  An evening with Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West, sponsored by the Salish Current, Western Washington University's Ralph Munro Institute for Civic Education,  and the Whatcom Community College, in partnership with Village Books.

So much information! The authors of “Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World” tell how to sort it out.

Join this important conversation — register now for your free ticket!

With an avalanche of distortion and unsubstantiated opinion coming from every direction, how can we sort out what is true and what is misleading, false or fake news?

By every measure, robust local journalism is vital for strong democracy and healthy communities. Media literacy and trustworthy news sources are vital for the survival of healthy communities and even democracy itself, particularly in the face of polarizing misinformation and disinformation insinuated into our social media channels.

So how do we decide what in the vast sea of information is actually true?

Come join the discussion with educators and nationally acclaimed authors of “Calling Bullshit: The Art of Skepticism in a Data-Driven World” Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West — hear about how to sift out misleading information and untruths and decide for yourself what is true.

Thursday, April 13, 2023, 7:00 PM until 8:30 PM
Where:
