The Normalization of Election Denialism: How Misinformation and Conspiracy Theories Undermine Democracy and Harm the Black Vote

Moderated by Khalilah Spencer, ’01, panelists will discuss the increase of election denialism in Michigan and other states, including the rise of misinformation concerning election results and the importance of protecting the legitimacy of voting rights, with a specific focus on the rights of Black voters during next year’s presidential election cycle. 

Alan Miller joined Western as an Associate Professor of Law and Canada Research Chair in Law and Economics. His primary teaching interests are in corporate law and law and economics; his research has spanned several additional fields, including contract, tort, property, antitrust, patent, and election law. His work has appeared in journals in law, economics, and political science, including the New York University Law Review, the Iowa Law Review, Theoretical Economics, and the Journal of Economic Theory.

On behalf of the faculty and administration, it gives us great pleasure to recognize and celebrate those students in the Class 2023 receiving their professional degrees at the University of Michigan Law School. Senior Day is an important event for all of our graduates. Our students arrive as part of a very special group and graduate as spectacular individuals.

A reception in the Law Quadrangle for graduates and their families will immediately follow the ceremony.
