Citing sources is often considered a basic element of academic integrity and media literacy. But what happens when our sources are themselves dubious, contradictory, misrepresented, or otherwise unreliable? How should those engaging with historical or contemporary media responsibly engage with claims, sources, and narratives that wind up being more complicated than they might at first appear?In this panel, Dario Brancato (Classics, Modern Languages, and Linguistics), Kristin Franseen (History), and Meaghan Landrigan-Buttle (History) will each present a source from their research (spanning from Italian Renaissance "fake fake news" to early Romantic music journalism to contemporary Irish mafia romance novels) that leads to a larger story about how historical sources are used and understood. This will be followed by conversation among the panelists and an open question/conversation period.
