  • Ethical and safety considerations in automated fake news detection

    Benjamin D Horne, Dorit Nevo et al.ARTICLEBehaviour and Information…2026

    This paper highlights ethical issues in automated fake news detection and calls for caution when deploying tools to automatically detect mis/disinformation in real-life settings. We argue that the potential harm to information consumers caused by an automated tool making a mistake requires us to better understand the mistakes that can be made. We implement three proposed detection models from the literature that were trained on over 381,000 news …

  • The Conceptual Space of the Race Debate

    Open AccessSusan L SmithARTICLETHEORIA An International Journal…2013

    This project reveals the false conceptual space within which the contemporary debate about the nature of race is taking place. There is an implied spectrum within philosophical discussions of the nature of race that ranges from purely biological accounts of race to purely socially constructed accounts of race. In reality, no account of race can be given which exists at either extreme of the spectrum. The same discussion also applies to accounts o…

    Susan Smith, Susan L SmithARTICLEThe American Historical Review2013

    Two recent books about medicine in the nineteenth-century United States provide clear evidence of why health issues have been, and still are, highly contested and deeply political. These very different studies of southern health and medicine provide black and white portraits of medical theory and practice in a slaveholding society and during the long, uneven process of African American emancipation. Sex, Sickness, and Slavery: Illness in the Ante…

Research from several disciplines suggests that a confluence of attitudes, prior experiences, and other internal and external factors influence the way an individual relates across racial lines. In a work setting, the ability of individuals from different racial groups to develop positive and functional r…
