Meet Our Anselmians

Through a distinctive liberal arts and professional education, Anselmians are prepared to lead and serve a changing world."

Dr. Jennifer Mercieca’s talk will address how our public sphere is dominated by the widespread use of information warfare techniques that normalize the idea that “politics is war and the enemy cheats.” Through this discussion Dr. Mercieca will show that using communication as a weapon is a winning strategy judged by the metrics of attention and engagement, but a losing strategy for democracy.
