Event Details

The Auburn Public Library has partnered with students in a class from the Digital & Computational Studies Department at Bates College for a special Zoom event.  In this class, "Calling Bull: Data Literacy and Information Science," students look at misinformation, and dive deeply into the "who, what, where, when, why, and how" of the propaganda.  The course culminates into a capstone project wherein students put together a portfolio of three pieces of misinformation and work to correct or debunk the information. 

During this community Zoom session with the class, Calling Bull students will share a piece of their portfolio in which they present a rebuttal in an effort to set the record straight.

Registration is required; please enter your name and email address below.  The Zoom link will be emailed to you the morning of December 12.
