This forum aims to faciliate discussion with participants from all degree disciplines and backgrounds with the aim of fostering open and respectful discourse. Open discourse is especially critical in light of the hyperpartisan political climate we live in, encouraging the dissemination of fake news, echo chambers and filter bubbles, enabling demagogues to weaponize extreme political polarization and populism.
