Disinformation – false information intended to mislead and confuse – is a top-tier challenge to effective governance, in democracies and non-democracies alike. It becomes a dangerous national security problem when it contributes to political violence. Join an interdisciplinary group of experts from Ohio State and beyond for a virtual discussion of the disinformation/political violence nexus.
