When international events are changing rapidly, as they are with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it’s important to rely on trusted, verified news sources to keep up with what is going on, writes Wake Forest’s political science librarian Roz Tedford. Mis- and disinformation spreads fastest in chaotic, uncertain environments.
Tedford has put together a list of resources available campus-wide for all Wake Forest students, faculty and staff. The roundup of available news subscriptions, books, ebooks, scholarly journals and services can be found here.
Wake Forest University News has also published Q&As from faculty experts related to the war in Ukraine, including:
Q&A: Ukrainian refugee crisis – Professor of Politics Sarah Lischer, author of “Dangerous Sanctuaries: Refugee Crises, Civil War and the Dilemmas of Humanitarian Aid,” answers questions about the politics of refugee crises and humanitarian action.
Q&A: Are economic sanctions against Russia the answer? – History professor Benjamin Coates explains how sanctions have been used in the past, how they are being used against Russia and the impact they are likely to have.
Q&A: What does the invasion of Ukraine mean for U.S foreign policy? – Politics professor C. William Walldorf Jr., author of “To Shape our World for Good: Master Narratives and Forceful Regime Change in United States Foreign Policy,” explains the international consequences of the attack and why Americans should care about what is happening.
