While technology has significantly changed how we engage in democracy, this does not mean that our relationship with the truth must change as well. Many people find themselves unsure how to verify the accuracy of information they consume, particularly on social media platforms. Developing basic fact-checking skills and frameworks is an important foundation for meaningful political discourse.

 

2024 Political Social Work Series

The image depicts two photographs from a political social work series event at The Ohio State University. In the top photo, three individuals sit in front of an audience, facing an off-frame speaker. The bottom photo captures an audience member, seemingly asking a question or participating in the discussion. Large red text in the foreground reads “2024,” and below it, “Political Social Work Series” is written in white against a red background. The logo of The Ohio State University College of Social Work is visible at the bottom of both photographs.

The College of Social Work is connecting our students and community partners to the democratic process in this critical election year. Help us register voters, learn about what’s on the ballot, brush up your media literacy skills, and connect with Election Protection work.

HRAs hours for students, CEs for practitioners, and flexible opportunities for your class and work schedule. Help us use the power of social work to build a better democracy.
