About

CAPT supports and helps disseminate research grounded in the humanities and social sciences that analyzes the intersections of politics and communications technology in modern American history. While Americans have access to more information than ever before, the expansion of media options and advancement of disinformation and deep fake technology have changed the nature of political communication in society. This center will generate historically grounded conversations around these issues and forge enlightened present day solutions to address the challenges associated with increasing political polarization and partisan divides in modern America.
