    With social media serving as a breeding ground for information inaccuracies, it is important to develop robust media and data literacy skills to distinguish fact from fiction. In this second episode of a two-part series, we continue to explore how misinformation can distort public understanding and reactions to critical health information and we pose essential questions: What are the key characteristics of misinformation and disinformation that we should be looking for? And, how can we empower our communities to distinguish fact from fiction?

    Jul 1 2025
    Episode One

    In this first episode of a two-part series, we explore how misinformation can distort public understanding and reactions to critical health information. With social media serving as a breeding ground for these inaccuracies, it is important to develop robust media and data literacy skills to distinguish fact from fiction.

    Here we engage with leading experts who share evidence-based strategies for addressing health misinformation and discuss the crucial role of critical thinking and investigative research in fostering media literacy and empowering individuals and communities to make informed decisions. We delve into the difference between misinformation and disinformation, examining susceptibility to these falsehoods, and the psychological and social factors that contribute to their spread.

  • Understanding representation in methodology and the effects of policies on people of color and LGBTQ+ people

    Understanding representation in methodology and the effects of policies on people of color and LGBTQ+ people
    Jun 24 2024
    In this episode we speak with Gabe Miller, Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Associate Director of the Deep South Initiative for Advancing Sexual and Gender Minority Health, about his research that spans political and policy determinants of health; population health, inequity, and intersectionality; and broad questions of community, wellbeing, and health.

    We delve into the reality that racism, homophobia, and transphobia diminish the health of people of color as well as LGBTQ+ people or sexual gender minorities through mechanisms of inequity. We also hear his personal motivations to do this work along with exploring the representation of race in research methodology, the intersection of race, sexual orientation, and neighborhood social support, and how policy and advocacy affect health outcomes.
