Constitution Day Lecture by Dr. Charles Aug

The rise of misinformation-deceptive speech with mass appeal-has
provoked a renewed interest in the purposes of the Constitution's First
Amendment. And yet, attempts to reconcile the freedom of speech and
healthy public discourse have ignored the concept of demagoguery. Dr.
Charles Zug's talk will try to show why demagoguery has all but ceased
to be intelligible to us-even in cases where it is obviously relevant, like
misinformation in the 21st century.
