Post-Truth Politics

This is a joint event between POLSIS and the School of English, Drama and Creative Studies (EDAC).

Politics has always has its liars, but when does lying threaten the existence of politics itself? It’s often said that we now live in a post-truth world. When did this happen? How did this happen? And what can we do about it? Just a month before the US election, against the backdrop of the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, join our expert speakers to discuss post-truth politics in the age of authoritarian populism and social media

Speakers: 

Mariam Martinez-Bascunan Ramirez (Autonomous University of Madrid and El Pais)

Chair: Tim Haughton

Convenors: Lyndsey Stonebridge and Tim Haughton
