UCSB professor speaks on information disorder and geopolitical connections

Associate political science professor Julia Morse delivered a presentation titled, “Information Disorder and Global Politics: How Technology is Reshaping International Relations,” on Oct. 27 in the Pacific View Room as part of the UC Santa Barbara Library’s Pacific Views Speaker Series. Professor Julia Morse has taught political science at UC Santa Barbara for 8 years and is a non-resident fellow at the Oxford Martin AI Governance Initiative. Information disorder, or a digital setting that permits the rapid spread of false information, is a focus of her research and the subject of the book she is co-authoring, “Damage Control: Lies, Evasion, and the Cost of Breaking International Law.” Several students and community members gathered in the Pacific View Room, located on the eighth floor of the library, to hear Morse’s expertise.
