The latest episode of Timeless Leadership is History, Disrupted.
Knowing history is essential to charting a course for the future. But history misinformation and disinformation spreads so quickly on the web that we risk losing critical data about our past that can erode the present.
Jason Steinauer, author of History, Disrupted: How Social Media and the World Wide Web Have Changed the Past, and a history communicator, joins us to talk about historical literacy, media literacy, and what we can do to prepare ourselves for a more robust future.
