Why we fall for it – and how we build immunity
Diagnosis: Disinformed

In all its various forms, disinformation is one of the great threats to modern democracy. Especially in times of crisis, fake news and conspiracy theories fall into fertile ground. Through new technologies and social media channels, disinformation spreads at lightning speed—and divides society. We saw that happening during the corona crisis and we see it now in the war in Ukraine. Indeed, disinformation can radicalize people and incite them to violence. Putin’s war, but also the right-wing attacks in Halle and Hanau in Germany and the burning of 5G transmission masts in the Netherlands are examples of this.

Theo Thijssen: schrijver, schoolmeester en socialist

Theo Thijssen (1879–1943) is vooral bekend als schrijver van Kees de jongen (1923), maar Thijssen was zo veel méér. In de nieuwe biografie schetst Peter-Paul de Baar een beeld van Thijssen als mens en literator en toont hij hoe actueel veel van zijn ideeën over onderwijs nog steeds zijn. Ons panel van liefhebbers en deskundigen buigt zich vanavond over de nalatenschap van deze schrijver, schoolmeester en socialist.

Double Book Launch with Carolyn Birdsall and Elodie A. Roy
Sonic Objects of Desire?

In contemporary culture, outdated ideas persist about sound media, such as radio, as being for the ears only. Yet sound media cultures have also variously engaged vision, touch, smell, and taste. This event will focus on the cross-sensory and material qualities of sound media by a double book launch of new books in Media Studies by Carolyn Birdsall and Elodie A. Roy.
