In Misinformation Studies and Higher Education in the Postdigital Era:
Beyond Fake News, Paul Cook argues that the epistemological complexity
of the postdigital age demands a new, metadisciplinary approach to
information and media – misinformation studies. Cook posits that
institutions of higher education can work toward regaining the
public's trust and reinvigorating general education programs by
developing a metadiscipline that directly addresses the problem of
misinformation in all its various and dangerous forms. This book
outlines how such a curricular pivot may be accomplished in an age
saturated with generative AI, algorithmic manipulation, ubiquitous
networked computing, and information overload, coupled with the myriad
challenges higher education faces from seemingly all sides.
Ultimately, this book makes a compelling case that universities and
colleges can instead harness the fragmentation caused by this 'perfect
storm' currently facing higher education so they can not only weather
the crisis, but also emerge stronger because of it.
