Calliope lectures

Thursday 13 November 2025, 3 pm - Monday 27 July 2026, 3 pm

The Calliope lectures on trust and information research are an initiative made possible by the Radboud-Glasgow collaboration fund. This interdisciplinary online lecture series explores the complex dynamics of distrust and disinformation across media, politics, science, and society. Bringing together experts from fields such as communication, psychology, data science, history, and philosophy, the series examines how false narratives take root, why trust erodes, and what can be done to foster resilience and critical thinking in the face of manipulation. Join us for thought-provoking discussions that challenge assumptions and illuminate the forces shaping our collective understanding.
