Beyond the Big Lie

How and why do politicians lie? And how can we, the public, keep the facts in check–even in the face of increased mis- and disinformation online?

The Institute for Rebooting Social welcomes Bill Adair to discuss his new book, Beyond the Big Lie: The Epidemic of Political Lying, Why Republicans Do It More, and How It Could Burn Down Our Democracy. The conversation will address the processes politicians use to skew information across the media landscape, the consequences these practices have on our democracy, and potential solutions to foster a healthier, more accurate political system.

This event is part of the RSM Fall Speaker Series, and will be held at the Berkman Klein Center (room 515) from 12:30pm-1:30pm ET. Lunch will be served! In-person attendance is limited to Harvard ID holders, but the general public is invited to attend virtually via Zoom.
