Tuesday 26 July 2022, 9.30AM to 5.30pm
Speaker(s): Professor Marylyn Carrigan (Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University) and Dr Eliran Bar-El (University of York)
Myth, rumour and misinformation have been features of human society since the dawn of civilisation. From the earliest folk tales to high-tech online propaganda campaigns, people have used these tools to persuade, deceive, and even to make sense of their lived experience of the world around them.
Join us at the University of York Sociology department’s beautiful lakeside home for a day of discussion, networking, and talks on all things mythic and fallacious.
We are delighted to present keynote addresses from Professor Marylyn Carrigan (Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University) and Dr Eliran Bar-El (University of York). Register via Eventbrite to book your ticket (admission £5).
In-person event with live online stream. Refreshments and lunch will be provided free of charge to all attendees and speakers.
Use our campus map and directions to plan your journey.
