In this episode, Jonathan is speaking with Jennifer Kavanagh about truth decay.
They discuss:
•Why she chose political science and decided to pursue a PhD.
•What the RAND Corporation is and their mission.
•The concept of “truth decay” and how she became interested in it.
•How truth decay has occurred before in the past and how it is usually accompanied with the arrival of a new information technology.
•How social media should be regulated at this point as they have repeatedly failed to self-regulate and the difficulties of regulation in the U.S. versus Europe due to the first amendment.
•While we are very polarized at the moment, people have more in common with one another than your information bubble would have you believe.
•The multiple solutions to truth decay.
•And other topics.
Dr. Jennifer Kavanagh is director of the Strategy, Doctrine, and Resources Program in the RAND Arroyo Center and a senior political scientist at the RAND Corporation. She also leads RAND’s Countering Truth Decay initiative, a portfolio of projects exploring the diminishing reliance on facts and analysis in U.S. political and civil discourse. Her research focuses on U.S. defense strategy, international conflict and military interventions, disinformation, and the relationship between U.S. political and media institutions. She is a faculty member at the Pardee RAND Graduate School and also teaches research methods courses as an adjunct professor at Georgetown University. Kavanagh graduated from Harvard University with a B.A. in government and a minor in Russian language. She earned her Ph.D. in political science and public policy at the University of Michigan.
