"Confronting Disinformation: A Conversation with Audrey Tang"

I'm drowning in work right now, plus having to monitor my son's remote schooling. (Though I have to admit watching his teacher at work this way has given me even more appreciation for both the struggles of schoolteachers and the public school system here!)

Anyway, I managed to attend a virtual webinar with Audrey Tang about a week ago (I think it was then--everything is such a blur anymore). I just got an email from Harvard's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, which hosted the event, that included a link to Tang's talk, so I thought I'd include it here rather than try to decipher my hurriedly-taken notes (Tang talks really fast!):


These days, it's hard to be optimistic about democracy (especially after last night's debate), so I appreciate having been given the chance to hear some good news...
