Event Details - "How Online Disinformation Relies Upon Gender and Race-based Targeting in the U.S." with DeVan Hankerson Madrigal

Join the Libraries for a talk by DeVan Hankerson Madrigal, Research Manager at the Center for Democracy & Technology!

This will be a hybrid talk, join the Zoom here.

Brief Description: The prevalence of disinformation in U.S. elections has emerged as a significant problem in recent years, with researchers focusing on the patterns and tactics used by disinformation campaigns. The few disinformation and abuse research studies that consider gender and race among political candidates suggest that this is an important issue and that there is a disproportionate impact on women and people of color. But these are all based on very limited and select samples which is why comprehensive and more representative research is required to understand the scale of the problem. The gap in disinformation studies is that it often lacks an intersectional approach and does not sufficiently factor such as race and/or gender. This gap undermines attempts to truly understand the impacts of disinformation on (1) political attitudes, (2) voting behavior, and (3) trust in democratic institutions.

This talk is free and open to the public, and is cosponsored by the Writing Program.
