<b>Democracy as talking to strangers</b>: What are the causes and consequences of our current forms of public communication? And how should we practice citizenship when public discourse is shaped by incivility, inaccuracy, and conflict over truth itself?<br>

<b>From being caught in a lie to perpetuating untruths</b>: How is the phenomenon of fake news changing the way campaigns are fought and won? How deeply does this affect the way voters make their choices at the ballot box?<br>
