Dietrich Deep Dives
Dietrich College Takes a Deep Dive into Politics The Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences began exploring some of the major social issues of our time in greater detail in a new virtual series, “Dietrich Deep Dives.” The engaging sessions offered in-depth presentations about critical political and societal issues through the lens of the humanities, social sciences and related fields to students, staff, faculty and alumni. The 2021 series explored voting machine security, social media and cable news misinformation, conspiracy theories and voter suppression.
