Ever wonder why health-related misinformation spreads like wildfire? Dr. Sara Gorman, renowned author and public health expert, will shed light on the psychology behind our beliefs. In her book, Denying to the Grave: Why We Ignore the Science That Will Save Us, she explores the reasons why we sometimes ignore science that could safeguard our well-being. How then, as a society, can we manage some of these daunting problems, including loss of trust, misinformation, and conspiracy theories

Ticket includes a 12oz Drekker beer!

HND VALUE STATEMENT

Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this {article, book, exhibition, film, program, database, report, Web resource}, do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities or Humanities North Dakota. However, in an increasingly polarized world, we at Humanities North Dakota believe that being open-minded is necessary to thinking critically and rationally. Therefore our programs and classes reflect our own open-mindedness in the inquiry, seeking, and acquiring of scholars to speak at our events and teach classes for our Public University. To that end, we encourage our participants to join us in stepping outside our comfort zones and considering other perspectives and ideas by being open-minded while attending HND events featuring scholars who hold a variety of opinions, some being opposite of our own held beliefs.
