400 Festival: Fakery, Disinformation and the Value of Words

29th June 2024 marked the 400th anniversary of the signing of the 1624 Pembroke charter by King James I. We celebrated at Pembroke with a Festival showcasing 400 years of research, impact and community, featuring talks and panel discussions with alumni, academics and students, covering topics from AI, medicine and conservation to translation and human rights.
Why do we choose to believe what we believe, and what is the role of the stories we read? Join Pembroke Fellow Professor Lynda Mugglestone BBC Disinformation Correspondent Marianna Spring as they explore the case of Samuel Johnson's desk and trends in social media trolling.
