Welcome to the Multiverse of Misinformation, a podcast about misinformation and the way it affects the many facets of our life, produced by the California Center for Ethics and Policy--or “CCEP” --at Cal Poly Pomona and generously supported by the Cal Poly Pomona Special Projects for Improving the Classroom Experience grant program.
This season, we explore the many ways in which misinformation affects our everyday lives through influencing, distorting, or driving the discourse in our society. In the past few years, the idea of misinformation has entered the zeitgeist through the concept of “fake news,” or online conspiracy theories shared by your relatives on Facebook, which is probably what most listeners will think of when they hear the term. However, misinformation is neither a new, nor a specifically online problem. In these episodes, the CCEP student fellows use examples from our own class discussions as well as their own lived experience to illustrate the many ways in which misinformation influences what we think, how we act, and what we believe.
In this episode, student fellow Raven Maxwell takes the multiverse of misinformation to college, to discuss how colleges can improve student services and outreach to support students who are new to higher education, and often bewildered by its complexities. She will interview her mother, Tanya, a first-generation student and student advisor at California State University, Los Angeles, and compare Tanya’s experiences as a first-generation student with her own as a student who entered college benefiting from her mother’s experience with the system. Raven also includes data from a case study by Angela Maricela Chavez-Monroy to speak to the current struggles of marginalized and current first-generation students to provide current statistics and data about student needs and the barriers they face.
We ask that if you like what you hear, if you care about these issues, please share our podcast with your friends, family, and colleagues.
Thanks for listening.
