Augusta Baker Endowed Chair Associate Professor University of South Carolina Columbia, South Carolina, United States
Join us for our day two general session, awards and keynote address!
We welcome Nicole Cooke for our day two keynote address. Dr. Nicole A. Cooke is the Augusta Baker Endowed Chair and an Associate Professor at the School of Library and Information Science, at the University of South Carolina. Dr. Cooke’s research and teaching interests include human information behavior, fake news consumption and resistance, critical cultural information studies, and diversity and social justice in librarianship.
We are now living in an age of “fake news,” which is not a new phenomenon, but this latest iteration has highlighted the various dimensions of how people interact (or do not) with information - information consumption is so much more than people's immediate cognitive processing.
This talk will address our continued and collective battle against misinformation and disinformation, and the related literacy concepts that can influence our interactions with information and help us intellectually thrive in a post-truth society.
