Downtown Series Explores Truth and Trust in the Global Scene This month, the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences is hosting a series of discussions with national experts who will explore the current state of American truth, trust, and global relations. In addition to the experts from the College of SBS, participants also include the executive editor of The New York Times and the former head of counterterrorism at the State Department. "When we sat down to discuss this year's theme, we couldn't escape the fact that the topics of elections, incivility, truth in the news, and global conflict are not only what everyone is concerned and talking about, it's also what our faculty study. So we are jumping right into these weighty and controversial topics," said John Paul Jones III, dean of the College of SBS. "Our faculty are prepared to weave breaking news into the conversations," Jones added. "At the same time, they will offer a sense of history, global connectedness, and deeper analysis than people get from their daily searches on the web. The audience will leave the Fox having learned something that they couldn't from just watching the news." More
How to Get Tickets The conversations are free and seating will be first-come, firstserved. The public can reserve tickets for each event in advance through Eventbrite. Tickets are also available at the Fox Tucson Theatre box office on the day of the event. Parking The Fox Tucson Theatre is located at 17 W. Congress Street at the northwest corner of Congress St. and Stone Ave. Parking downtown is easy! Street parking is free after 5 p.m., plus there are plenty of parking garages nearby. Or consider taking the Sun
Redefining Journalism in the Post-Truth Era In an age where the facts are up for grabs, The New York Times not only reports the news, but also frequently appears in the headlines for challenging government obfuscation and dishonesty. On Oct. 19, Nancy Sharkey, a professor of practice and associate director of the School of Journalism, will interview the executive editor of The New York Times, Dean Baquet, about redefining journalism and safeguarding its integrity in these unprecedented times. Get tickets here.
