SUMMARY:Ideas on Tour: Truth Decay?
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mississippi Humanities Council at the The Flamingo on July 31 for the second installment in our summer series “Ideas on Tour.” \nOn July 31\, we’ll explore the idea of truth. Does absolute truth exist? Do museums tell the truth? Is journalism the truth? To tackle these–and other–questions\, we’ll hear from a variety of angles: Steve Smith (Millsaps College) will examine the philosophical nature of truth and the idea of relativism; LaTanya S. Autry (Mississippi Museum of Art) will speak about truth and objectivity in museums; and Anna Wolfe (Clarion Ledger) will discuss truth and journalism amidst the growing claims of “fake news.” MHC Executive Director Dr. Stuart Rockoff will moderate the conversation. \nThe Ideas on Tour summer series will take place through August and will visit different spots around town each month. Join us for a fun summer on the road!
