How did we get here? The Disinformation Age assembles a remarkable group of historians, political scientists, and communication scholars to examine the historical and political origins of the post-fact information era, focusing on the United States but with lessons for other democracies. Bennett and Livingston frame the book by examining decades-long efforts by political and business interests to undermine authoritative institutions, including parties, elections, public agencies, science, independent journalism, and civil society groups. The other distinguished scholars explore the historical origins and workings of disinformation, along with policy challenges and the role of the legacy press in improving public communication. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. W. Lance Bennett is Professor of Political Science and Ruddick C.

  • St. Jerome's University in the University of Waterloo Department
    St. Jerome’s University in the University of Waterloo Department of English ENGL 486: Forms of Belief in Contemporary American Poetry T/TH, 4:00-5:20, SJ2 2007, Winter 2019 Instructor: Chad Wriglesworth Phone: 884-8111, ext. 28283 Email: [email protected] Office: SH 2209 Office Hours: T/TH, 11:30-12:30, or by appt. Course Overview and Objectives: This course assumes that poetry provides an indispensable expression of artistry and knowing that can attend to relationships between artistic form and belief in a postmodern age of uncertainty. The contemporary American poets selected for this course – Christian Wiman, Robert Hass, Jane Kenyon, Li-Young Lee, and Tracy K. Smith – will give us plenty to ponder when it comes to thinking about what it means to be human in a complex and evolving world. Our attention will be given to their poetry, but these writings will also pull us into conversations about ways of knowing through science, religion, history, ecology, sexuality, geography, music, and the visual arts. We will immerse ourselves in each poet’s way of being and knowing for roughly two weeks at a time, situating and deepening that experience of perception with selections of expressivist criticism: essays, interviews, podcasts, readings, and public lectures by each poet. Course assignments will provide the freedom to pursue any path of inquiry that this material invites you to explore. By the end of this course, you may walk away finding that you actually need poetry in your life (assuming that you don’t already have that realization). Required Texts: Robert Hass, The Apple Trees at Olema: New and Selected Poems (2011) Jane Kenyon, The Collected Poems (2007) Li-Young Lee, Behind My Eyes (2009) Tracy K.
