A post-truth society is characterized by societal distrust of scientific data, dismissal of expertise, and diminished status of empirical facts. Associate Professor of Psychology Mike Sloane, Ph.D., asks, given these trends, is it legitimate to question whether modern universities have a future in a post-truth society, and what changes in pedagogy are needed to educate students in an increasingly anti-intellectual, anti-expertise, anti-truth society?

A light lunch will be provided. Registration is limited. Please register no later than February 6th by sending an email confirming your attendance to haddinforum@uab.edu.
