Hello,

I’m Ben Lathrop.

Welcome to Teaching in a “Post-Truth” World, a resource for teachers of English and other subjects who care about mis- and disinformation, critical media literacy, and epistemology. I’m a Ph.D. candidate at Purdue University, where I am researching how teachers integrate critical media literacy and epistemology into their curriculum. Currently, this website features my ongoing dissertation research. A National Board Certified Teacher, I taught high school English for 18 years before beginning my doctoral work.
