Fascism: Fake News or Fact? Forum facilitators: Sara Armengot, Elisabetta Sanino D’Amanda, Vincent Serravallo. Participants will focus on the core elements of fascism past and present. Specifically, we will focus on Mussolini’s “invention” of Fascism in Italy, on the manifestations of fascism in Europe and the Americas since then, and on the contemporary fascist movements in Europe, the US, and globally.
