Common CAHSS 2021: We Are Your Bad Art Friend: Writers on Storytelling and Truth with Drs. Julialicia Case, Tara DaPra, and Rebecca Meacham was recorded live Tuesday, November 30, 2021.
The New York Times sensation “Who is the Bad Art Friend?” examines the ethics of using others’ stories. How do writers use the literal truth to inform their storytelling? Which truths (if any) are off-limits? And what happens when writers blur the line between fact and fiction?
The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences for the third annual Common CAHSS Conference 2021 event themed “Truth, Information, Misinformation, and Democracy,” sought to explore the role of the modern university in supporting the “continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found,” which has been part of the University of Wisconsin identity for over a century.
This Common CAHSS 2021: Truth talk was recorded in Jean Weidner Theatre in the Weidner Center for the Performing Arts.
