But recent years have witnessed mass disagreements over what is true and how to separate fact from fiction. Watch our discussion ‘Pursuing Factual Consensus: What Does “Truth” Mean in the Public Square?’ to delve more deeply into how facts become established in the public mind and how truthfulness might be restored to our public discourse.
Panelists include:
- Jonathan Rauch, Senior Fellow at Brookings Institute
- Yanna Krupnikov, Professor of Political Science at Stony Brook University
- Marc Hetherington, Professor of Political Science at UNC Chapel Hill
