Democracy in the Age of Disinformation:
Challenges and Potential Solutions
This election year, we are all keenly aware of how our reliance on digital communication has fostered an environment where misinformation and disinformation thrive, posing significant challenges to the foundations of our democratic society.
Join us as Dr. Joshua Garland addresses how these deceptive practices undermine democratic values and how the growing use of generative AI further amplifies the challenges to democratic stability. Dr. Garland will suggest specific strategies useful to foster a well-informed democratic dialogue in today’s digital landscape.
Dr. Joshua Garland is the Interim Director of and an Associate Research Professor at the Global Security Initiative’s Center on Narrative, Disinformation and Strategic Influence at Arizona State University. Joshua’s research aims to understand complex systems and the fascinating intersections of AI, global politics, social media, disinformation, and strategic influence.
Join us for an informative evening with Dr. Joshua Garland.

Cattle Track Talk Holiday Studio Walk
Holiday Studio Walk:
Meet Our Cattle Track Artists and Visit Their Studios
The holidays are upon us! What better time to meet our Cattle Track artists and visit their studios. We will gather in the Gallery, where many pieces of art will be on display. The evening program will begin with our Cattle Track artists giving brief introductions of themselves and descriptions of their work.
Following their introductory words, the artists will return to their studios. Audience members will then be free to peruse the Gallery exhibit and help themselves to a holiday beverage before strolling across the courtyard to the studio buildings.
Come prepared to be impressed, charmed, and enchanted by the talent and creative genius on display. There will be treasures to discover and purchase, as well as a chance to engage in creative, stimulating conversations!
