Dear CITAMS, Please consider attending this upcoming event featuring one of our own section members, Francesca Tripodi. This is a wonderful cast of speakers and a great way to connect with members of the Cultural Sociology section, which has many overlaps with CITAMS' intellectual interests. Best, Jenny ASA Section on Cultural Sociology presents: Culture in Contemporary Life (CCL) Series Fake News? Perspectives from Cultural Sociology What is fake news? Who determines it? Can we rely on fact checkers and how should they judge? Is fake news simply a pejorative term used to silence voice of dissent? How is this label being used? What are the responsibilities of social media platforms in the production and dissemination of fake news? How can sociologists and particularly cultural sociologists contribute to this area of research?
