SUMMARY:Free Speech: Can I Tell You How Much I Hate You?
DESCRIPTION:Freedom of speech is fundamental in a democratic society. It means that a person or a community can express their opinion or ideas without fear of retaliation or censorship. But what happens when the opinions expressed are unpopular\, violent or dangerous? Whether expressed in person\, or through social media\, words can have a powerful effect on our sense of safety\, inclusion or exclusion\, and equality or inequality. What is “hate speech?” Who decides what speech is protected\, and what is not? Who regulates social media content? What is the impact on individuals and communities who are silenced? Explore the complex history of first amendment freedoms of speech\, expression and assembly in America. \nGail Rhodes is a PhD student and an adjunct professor at the Cronkite School with more than 16 years of professional experience working as a television reporter. She worked for the Fox Sports Network in Chicago and helped to launch the Comcast Sports Network. Rhodes has been an adjunct professor for Cronkite since 2014\, where she teaches advanced television sports reporting\, and advanced topics in sports media. Her doctoral studies focus on the intersection of sports culture\, media and society.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now - Glendale
DESCRIPTION:Talking to Each Other About Controversies Now\nMatt Kundert\, University of Arizona\, Department of English \nCurrent social controversies reflect our nation’s complex history\, politics and values. Our views can differ sharply on whether or not America has changed for the better\, or for the worse. We can point to specific cultural and technological developments that have made it difficult to feel part of one country.  Media can shape our sense of inclusion and exclusion\, what is true and false\, what connects us and divides us. But democracy is based on hope\, the hope that we might solve our problems by talking to each other.  How should we approach each other today?  How do we balance respect for the people around us\, and our common humanity\, against suspicion and fear in the face of ideological differences?  How do we keep the conversation going about difficult political and social events? How can we listen to\, and learn from\, experiences and opinions different from our own?  Join us for a FRANK Talk exploring the skills and attitudes of citizenship and conversability.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Racial Literacy and Social Media - Glendale
DESCRIPTION:Is This Racist? Racial Literacy and Social Media\nDr. Kathy Nakagawa\, Arizona State University\, School of Social Transformation \nMany parents and educators avoid conversations about race and racism with their children and students\, yet young people are regularly exposed to images\, stories\, videos and statements that reflect racial societal attitudes. This exposure often comes through social media\, such as YouTube videos\, tweets\, Facebook posts\, Instagram\, Snapchat\, and blogs. Despite this exposure\, many young people are unprepared to discuss race and racism in productive ways. Parents and educators are unsure how to guide these discussions. So how do we develop a “racial literacy” to have these conversations? Like learning to read and write\, racial literacy equips us to talk about race and can help us understand the historical and systemic contexts of race and racism in America. Join us for a FRANK Talk about race\, racism\, racial literacy and social media in today’s world.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace - Glendale
DESCRIPTION:Weaponized Narrative: Information Warfare as the New Battlespace\nDr. Braden Allenby\, Arizona State University\, President’s Professor of Civil\, Environmental\, and Sustainable Engineering\, and Lincoln Professor of Engineering and Ethics \nWeaponized narrative is the latest term for information warfare\, focusing specifically on the role of new media in shaping opinion. Weaponized narratives attack the shared beliefs and values of a person or society\, and undercut culture and resiliency.  Instead of using actual bombs and bullets\, adversaries use tactics such as deceptive information initiatives to attack identity\, manipulate narratives/stories\, and manufacture emotional and psychological warfare.  What are the effects on our psychology and behavior?  How do we begin to understand the role of information warfare in social media\, news\, and marketing? Can weaponized narratives cause social polarization as destructive as actual war?  Join us for this timely FRANK Talk to discuss the impact of information warfare on civic engagement and our democratic institutions.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Glendale
DESCRIPTION:“Fake News”: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World\nJamie Bowen\, Arizona State University\, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication \nAlthough not new\, our awareness and use of the term “fake news” has risen in prominence. In general “fake news” is journalism that consists of deliberate misinformation\, news whose main purpose is to distort “the truth for emotional persuasion\, seeking to drive action.”  More recently it has become a catch-all term used to discredit stories\, and in the political arena to influence the political process and elections in the U.S and abroad.  What is the impact of “fake news”?  How does “fake news” affect community conversations and civic engagement? How do we balance the benefits of free speech against the burden of propaganda? Join us for a lively FRANK Talk about “fake news\,” free speech and journalism today.

DESCRIPTION:Energy in an Uncertain World\nDr. Jennifer Richter\, Arizona State University\, School of Social Transformation and the School for the Future of Innovation in Society \nEnergy can be made affordable\, accessible\, and sustainable for all Arizonans.  Energy is never just about technology\, but about the values and ideals that a society has about its design and distribution.  But what will it take to achieve energy justice?  What are the values that are driving energy production and distribution in today’s world?   Join us for a FRANK Talk that looks at the state of Arizona to discuss the historical context of energy production\, the current webs of energy that exist in the state\, and some potential ideas\, policies\, programs\, and technologies that will shape the production of energy in the future.
