Pop Up (Virtual) Humanities Salon: Russian Info Wars

October 29, 2020 @ 8:00 pm

Michael Gorham (UF Russian Studies, Dept. of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures)

 

Dr. Gorham will draw on his research on the impact of the internet and social media on Russian politics to explore the goals, mechanics, and efficacy of Russian influence campaigns abroad.

The pandemic ended random exchanges at the watercooler. Let’s get together for conversation with UF experts who share knowledge and shed light on current events and life’s big questions. The rules are simple: no PowerPoint and no lecture; shorter than an hour and longer than 30 minutes. Come for the insight and stay for the conversation!
