The Road to November

Join Tim O’Brien, award-winning journalist, political analyst and author, as he talks with Carlos Lozada, Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist, and Barbara McQuade, law professor, MSNBC columnist, NBC News and MSNBC legal analyst, and former US Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, about the state of the nation and the road to November’s elections.

In Attack from Within: How Disinformation is Sabotaging America, McQuade shows us how to identify the ways disinformation is seeping into all facets of our society and how we can fight against it. Advances in technology including rapid developments in artificial intelligence threaten to make the problems even worse. Lozada’s The Washington Book is the perfect guide to the state of our politics. It explores the construction of personal identity, the delusions of leadership, and that mix of subservience and ambition that can define a life in politics. The more we read the stories of Washington, the clearer our understanding of the competing visions of our country.

Venue: Montclair State University, University Hall, Room #1030.
