President Frenk
President Frenk shared perspectives on the future of higher education and called on the University of Miami community to pursue a bold collective vision. "The University of Miami can increase its role as a magnet for talent," he said. "We must attract and retain people who stand out in the classroom, in the research lab, at the hospital bedside, and on the playing field." He outlined the groundbreaking ideas that have emerged from University stakeholders during his first year to guide UM's growth. Read more about the Roadmap for Our New Century.
A healthy democracy requires citizens to make choices based on accurate information. But with the rise of social media, people across the political spectrum have retreated inside polarized echo chambers. Many others are unsure whether the news they see is even true. How can we make informed political choices in a new era of fake news and conspiracies? What can we do to ensure that facts guide the choices we make for our future? University of Miami Political Scientist Joseph Uscinski spoke about his recent campaign season and how we make political choices.
Uscinski is associate professor of political science at the University of Miami and author of the recent Oxford bestselling book American Conspiracy Theories. Professor Uscinski’s research on contemporary politics, the media, and conspiracies has appeared in dozens of scholarly journals, and he is frequently called upon to provide perspectives in the national media, including Newsweek, The Washington Post, and Politico. He is presently working on two new books and collaborating with a team of scholars from throughout Europe.
