SUMMARY:Challenges to Digital Literacy Education | Stanford Cyber Policy Center
DESCRIPTION:The internet is now the most common source of political news for almost half of Americans\, and social media is now the primary source of news for those under 30. Yet today’s youth have little capacity to evaluate the credibility of digital sources\, with colleges across the country often relying on severely outdated guidelines supporting digital literacy education. Join Stanford’s Sam Wineburg\, Washington State University’s Mike Caulfield\, and Rowan University’s Andrea Baer and Dan Kipnis\, in conversation with the Cyber Center’s Kelly Born\, about the many challenges and opportunities facing media literacy.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 misinformation: understanding and seeking truth during a pandemic | Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Misinformation about the coronavirus pandemic continues to create confusion and contention along scientific and political lines. In this conversation\, Berkeley faculty will help us understand the nature of misinformation in order to assess\, evaluate and engage more effectively with the information resources we consult. They will discuss some of the reasons for the rapid spread of misinformation\, how predictive algorithms often reinforce existing beliefs and stereotypes\, and how current legislation is addressing issues such as partisanship\, accountability\, and human rights. They will also present some new online tools for determining the trustworthiness of news sources\, and for recognizing multiple vantage points of different issues. \nNobel Laureate Saul Perlmutter\, Director of the Berkeley Institute for Data Science and Professor of Physics\, will moderate this webcast conversation with panelists Nick Adams\, a former BIDS Research Fellow and now Founder & Chief Scientist of Goodly Labs\, an organization that provides collaborative online resources and opportunities that enable citizen scientists to engage with publicly available data; Hany Farid\, a professor with joint appointments in UC Berkeley’s School of Information and department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science\, whose research focuses on digital forensics\, image analysis\, and human perception; and Deirdre K. Mulligan\, a professor in the UC Berkeley School of Information and a Faculty Director of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology whose research explores the legal and technical means of protecting values such as privacy\, freedom of expression\, and fairness in emerging technical systems.

SUMMARY:Digital Technology\, Social Media\, and the 2020 Presidential Election | Stanford Cyber Policy Center
DESCRIPTION:The 2020 election may be over\, but the debate over the role of technology in the election has only just begun. The pervasiveness of voting-related disinformation before and after the election\, alongside new platform policies to combat it\, has brought to the fore\, as in 2016\, questions about how social media and the online information ecosystem may have affected campaign tactics\, public opinion\, and voter behavior. \nOn December 10\, 2020\, the Stanford Cyber Policy Center will bring together scholars\, tech platforms\, and other key experts to discuss the effect of digital technologies on the 2020 Election. The conference will explore the role of digital technologies on election administration\, campaign tactics\, political advertising\, the news media\, foreign propaganda efforts\, and the broader campaign information ecosystem. It will also consider how changes in platform policies affected the campaign and information environment\, and whether lessons learned in the 2020 elections provide helpful evidence to direct future reforms.

SUMMARY:Crash Course on Tech Work in Government: What *else* do you need to know? | Shorenstein Center
DESCRIPTION:Joining government brings incredible opportunities to solve hard problems\, fix under-resourced systems\, and help people at a scale no other sector can. It’s incredibly rewarding work\, but also incredibly challenging. The landscape is different. The rules are\, too. As new waves of technologists raise their hands to consider government service\, we’ll unpack some of those differences and explain how these rules are actually superpowers based on our experiences joining teams at federal agencies as well as the White House where we led policy\, projects\, and teams focused on using data\, design\, and technology to improve service delivery. We’ll also touch on how these teams (and others in gov) hire. \nIn this 90-minute webinar\, gov tech veterans Erie Meyer\, Kathy Pham\, and Cori Zarek will fill you in on the under-the-radar topics to look out for as a new wave of techies join government. Their combined experiences include the United States Digital Service\, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau\, Federal Trade Commission\, Office of Science Technology Policy\, National Archives\, and the private sector. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Georgetown University Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation and the Harvard Kennedy School Shorenstein Center for Media\, Politics\, and Public Policy.

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for “What do the data tell us about election 2020?” a panel that will feature: Erika Franklin Fowler (Wesleyan University)\, Jill Lepore (Harvard University)\, Solomon Messing (ACRONYM)\, and Kate Starbird (University of Washington). Each panelist will speak about their research into topics such as the twentieth-century origins of election-related data science\, the false meta-narrative of voter fraud in the 2020 election\, the landscape of political advertising in 2020\, and the effect of COVID-19 on polling data. We will then have time for discussion and questions among the panelists and attendees. \nNULab events are free and open to the public\, but registration is required. All fall 2020 NULab events will be virtual. Please contact nulab.info[at]gmail[dot]com with any questions.
