1301 epistemic communities

This video discusses conformity, the social nature of information diffusion, and the power of ethos (from Aristotle's "rhetorical triangle"). Before this class, students read the introductory chapter of The Misinformation Age by O'Connor and Weatherall. The video begins just after the class watched students participating in a version of Solomon Asch's conformity study (available here: • Video ).

Thanks for the video

This audio is terrible. Turned it off after 5 minutes.

I know. It's the classroom setup (lavaliere/amp/Zoom). I have to project loud enough for everyone in the classroom to hear. That's my priority. But that peaks out the lav. You'd think the lav audio would be run through the classroom speakers, but they're not. The recordings posted here are for students who can't attend due to covid. Not great RUclips content. The next time I teach this class fully online, I'll replace this video with one done from my office/studio.
