Leading up to our nation’s 59th presidential inauguration, our panel will discuss democracy, trust in institutions, and the role of information in the digital age. Framed by last November’s historic election, our panelists will help us understand the types of messaging that bolster and undermine confidence in electoral integrity, and how delegitimization campaigns can and should be addressed now and in the future. Please submit any questions in advance to research@uc.edu.
The Digital Futures initiative will be housed in UC’s new, 180,000 square foot research facility being constructed in the Cincinnati Innovation District. UC’s Digital Futures building is where research, community, government and the private sector will convene and collaborate for the betterment of society.
