Weaponized as “fake news,” politicians and pundits turn certainties into falsehoods, amplified through corporate media, social media, and the internet–sometimes aided by anti-democratic governments and actors–in the service of the construction of a sense of “un-reality.” In this context, determining the truth has grown ever more difficult. The resultant loss of faith in democratic government, political leaders, institutions, and expertise portends profound change for both nascent and established democracies around the world. This course will focus on the importance of truth in the maintenance and upkeep of American democracy. It will take a multi-disciplinary approach to the topic. Students will examine the history of truth in American democracy. For example, how did America’s Founders view the relationship between truth and democracy? What did that relationship look like in American politics prior to today? We will broaden our focus when necessary to study how authoritarian regimes shape reality to better understand the methods of misinformation and disinformation, and the interests of these actors in undermining democracy.
