Lee Huebner: Reflections on Globalization, Democracy and the Media

Lee Huebner, Trustee and former President of AUP, will speak about his upcoming book (Cognella Academic Publishing) that examines how social turbulence and new media technologies have created post-truth environments not only now but also in the past. One such moment came exactly 100 years ago, when the First World War helped to produce a "Cult of Propaganda" similar to the current obsession with "Fake News." Please join us for this talk and Q&A, followed by a cocktail.
