Jason Stanley with Patt Morrison: The War on Truth: Propaganda, History, and American Democracy

Philosopher and leading scholar of propaganda and authoritarianism Jason Stanley joins veteran journalist and broadcaster Patt Morrison for a conversation on how propaganda, historical narratives, and attacks on truth shape democratic societies.

Drawing on his influential work on political philosophy and books including How Propaganda Works, How Fascism Works, and Erasing History, Stanley examines how misinformation, the manipulation of history, and assaults on education can weaken democratic institutions and reshape public discourse.

Topics include:

• Propaganda, misinformation, and political persuasion
• The role of history and collective memory in democracy
• Education, truth, and democratic resilience
• Authoritarianism and the defense of democratic institutions
• Media, public discourse, and civic responsibility
