Description

In this time when "fake news" and "alternative facts" have become buzzwords, arts and humanities are more important than ever. Professional fact checker Sarah Turnnidge from Full Fact joins Bryony Armstrong to discuss:

  • How her humanities background prepared her for being a professional fact checker
  • Academic English as a lens to look at different topics
  • Humanities as a natural place for the study of misinformation
  • The role of AI in misinformation and how humanities can analyse that
  • How humanities teaches us to use evidence
  • The role of narratives in (mis)information
  • The fact checking that happens within the humanities
