Other Professional Development Opportunities
- Liberal Studies Lecture Series. In an age when globalism seems to be in jeopardy, we might ask ourselves, “What does it mean to be an American?” Since the mid-1890s, music has offered various answers to that question. Join Dr. Aaron Keebaugh as he presents this semester’s (LS)^2 presentation “Sounds of Power and Protest: Music and Nationalism in the U.S. in the 20th Century” on Thursday, April 20th from 11:00am to 12:15pm in the Lynn Gym. This presentation is also open to the public. Please contact Dr. Kara Kaufman or Dr. Cari Keebaugh for more information.
- Fake News, Facts, and Alternative Facts. As part of University of Michigan’s Teach-Out Series, join other participants from around the world to discuss a specific current issue. This online course will explore: “How can you distinguish between credible information and ‘fake news?’ Reliable information is at the heart of what makes an effective democracy, yet many people find it harder to differentiate trustworthy journalism from propaganda. Increasingly, inaccurate information is shared on social networks and amplified by a growing number of explicitly partisan news outlets. This Teach-Out will examine the processes that generate both accurate and inaccurate news stories and the factors that lead people to believe those stories. Participants will gain skills help them to distinguish fact from fiction.” Enroll at https://www.edx.org/course/fake-news-facts-alternative-facts-michiganx-teachout-2x. This free course starts April 21st and lasts a week.
