On 17 May, a workshop on “Big Disinfo” took place at the University of Manchester. Reflecting on Joseph Bernstein’s 2021 article in Harper’s magazine<\/a>, the workshop participants applied their own research perspectives and findings to current debates about “Big Disinfo.” The workshop brought together invited experts and researchers from two current AHRC-funded research projects based at Manchester: Everything is Connected<\/a> and the (Mis)Translating Deceit<\/a> project. The workshop was organised and funded by the Democracy & Trust cluster of the\u00a0<\/span>Centre for Digital Trust and Society<\/a>, part of the Digital Futures research platform at the University of Manchester.<\/p>\n

After the event, the workshop participants were asked to provide short summaries of their presentations and\/or share their post-workshop observations, which are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
