With the election coming, we can expect to be hit with propaganda on both the Left and the Right. Propaganda influences our opinions, attitudes, and behaviors in ways that serve the propagandist rather than our interests. The goal of this presentation (https://tinyurl.com/yaawlsxr) is to make us more skeptical and critical consumers of news and information.

We can protect ourselves by understanding the basics of propaganda and advertising. Procida and Snow will describe the history, effects, and types of propaganda and how propagandists spread disinformation and cause division. They will also talk about the propaganda we are seeing and expect to see this election. While the presentation is nonpartisan, the discussion will focus on propaganda disseminated to the Left to divide and demoralize Liberals and Leftists.
