-isms: What Do They Mean?
Hosted by Crossing Party Lines
In previous meetings we’ve discussed a lot of -isms, from classism to racism, socialism and capitalism to interventionism and isolationism. People rally against them or advocate for them. At this meeting, we’ll discuss -isms in general, starting with this definition from the web:
a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy, typically a political ideology or an artistic movement.
- How do -isms apply in your life? Do you identify as adherent to a philosophical ism?
- Do you find your favorite -ism gives you a sense of shared identity and belonging?
- Does being able to point to an -ism help you work toward a better future?
What is misinformation? How can we spot it and avoid it? How has the emergence of artificial intelligence technology complicated how we evaluate information? In this webinar hosted by the News Literacy Project, we’ll explore current trends in misinformation and identify types of misleading, inaccurate and false information. We’ll also discuss the fundamentals of fact-checking in the AI age, including how to debunk false images and videos.
