Bridging Perspectives: Media Literacy and Critical Thinking Workshops
Tuesday, March 17, 2026
A lecture-based workshop that equips participants with tools to critically evaluate news, social media, and persuasive messaging.
The session emphasizes intellectual humility and evidence-based reasoning, while exploring misinformation, echo chambers, and the role of media in shaping political beliefs across the ideological spectrum.
Shannon Pritting, executive director for the Office of Graduate Studies and Scholarly Supports for SUNY Empire State College will be the guest presenter.
This event is part of the Spring 2026 Civil Discourse Series hosted by the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
The series will offer students, faculty, and staff opportunities to explore complex social issues through facilitated conversations, panels, and interactive programs that emphasize listening, empathy, and constructive communication.
