UMDemocracy: Social Media's Influence on Democracy (featuring College of Education Assistant Professor Sarah McGrew)

At every turn there are facts and figures being shared, especially in an election year. Have you ever stopped to think, 'Is this true?' If so, join our panel of experts, including College of Education's very own Dr. Sarah Mcgrew, to learn more how social media influences topics related to politics and elections and how this will affect the midterm election.
