SUMMARY:Your News Diet & Your Mental Health in an AI Driven World
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to social media and other channels\, we see more news than ever before. It’s easy to let things pass us by without reflecting on or thinking critically about what we see. But as the information ecosystem becomes more complex with AI generated content\, blurred lines between fact and fiction make intentional\, reflective engagement with media all the more critical. This session will help you understand all the ways you interact with the news\, reflect on what you learned (or didn’t learn) from those interactions\, and understand how consuming the information made you feel. We’ll then explore how news consumption is related to mental health\, and review strategies to help you strike a healthy balance that works for you.

SUMMARY:Seeing Is Believing: 19th Century Hoaxes in American Media
DESCRIPTION:The 19th century was the era of hoaxes and humbug in the United States. Promoted by the likes of PT Barnum\, Americans paid good money to see for themselves evidence of mermaids\, giants\, and other wonders. How did they guard against deception in the 19th century? And how can we\, in the context of social media?

SUMMARY:In Our Media Literacy Era: Fandom\, Politics\, and the Power of Critical Support
DESCRIPTION:This Media Literacy Week\, we’re talking fandom\, politics\, and critical thinking\, all through the lens of Taylor Swift. The Media Education Lab and Swifties4Hope team up to explore how the worlds of fandom and politics overlap and diverge. Together\, we’ll reflect on how we can support our favorite political candidates passionately while still thinking independently. \nSince our girl knows Aristotle\, it only feels right to remind ourselves that\, in his words\, “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” We’ll put that idea into practice\, since being both a fan and being an informed citizen start with asking good questions. Join us as we apply the 5 Critical Questions of Media Literacy to some of our favorite Taylor Swift lyrics.
