"How can we counter disinformation?" Challenge

We live in an era of disinformation. Impact and wide dissemination of sound bites have become more important than truth, and manipulation of facts is commonplace. How can we counter disinformation? What innovative ways can technology be used to combat fake news?

The Embassies of Germany and France, in partnership with the National Film Board of Canada and the University of Ottawa, are launching a project on the topic of disinformation. This project will bring together students from diverse background to propose a digital tool for understanding and decoding disinformation.

Quels moyens novateurs la technologie peut-elle utiliser pour lutter contre les fausses nouvelles ?

    Introduction à la sociologie des élites délinquantes

    Carla Nagels est professeure de criminologie à l’Université libre de Bruxelles. Son domaine de recherche est la délinquance des élites professionnelles. 

    Objectif du cours :

    Initier les étudiant(e)s en sciences sociales qui le souhaitent au domaine de connaissance portant sur la criminalité des affaires dans un contexte où ce type d’affaires devient une préoccupation croissante des citoyens (enquêtes en population générale), est de plus en plus relayée par les médias mais peine encore à se voir sanctionner par la justice.
