Welcome to the Multiverse of Misinformation, a podcast about misinformation and the way it affects the many facets of our life, produced by the California Center for Ethics and Policy--or “CCEP” --at Cal Poly Pomona and generously supported by the Cal Poly Pomona Special Projects for Improving the Classroom Experience grant program.
This season, we will explore the many ways in which misinformation affects our everyday lives through influencing, distorting, or driving the discourse in our society. In the past few years, the idea of misinformation has entered the zeitgeist through the concept of “fake news,” or online conspiracy theories shared by your relatives on Facebook, which is probably what most listeners will think of when they hear the term. However, misinformation is neither a new, nor a specifically online problem. In these episodes, the CCEP student fellows use examples from our own class discussions as well as their own lived experience to illustrate the many ways in which misinformation influences what we think, how we act, and what we believe.
Beyond the classroom, CCEP hosts a series of forums, panels and discussions throughout the semester dealing with the chosen topic for that particular year. On March 18, 2024, CCEP hosted a panel titled “Author Meets Critics” in which Desiree Lim, Assistant Professor in Philosophy and research associate at the Rock Ethics Institute discussed her recently published book Immigration and Social Equality: The Ethics of Skill-Selective Immigration Policy.
Dr. Lim completed her Ph.D. in Philosophy at King’s College London and was a post-doctoral fellow at the McCoy Center for Ethics in Society at Stanford University.
The panel of critics who will review Dr. Lim’s book are as follows:
- Dr. Itzel Garcia, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Cal Poly Pomona
- Leonel Alvarez Ceja, a Ph.D. student in Philosophy at the University of California, Irvine
- And Luis Gama, a Philosophy Major at Cal Poly Pomona and one of the 2024 CCEP Ethics and Policy Fellows.
We ask that if you like what you hear, if you care about these issues, please share our podcast with your friends, family, and colleagues.
Thanks for listening, and Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at CCEP!
