It highlights the impact of digital media and capitalism on the propagation of "alternative facts" and the challenges faced by educational institutions in addressing these issues, as evidenced by recent student protests in the U.S. over topics like Gaza. The works of Peter Kornbluh and Nikole Hannah-Jones are discussed as examples of public scholarship that engage with historical truths and the politics of repentance, illustrating the performative nature of truth-telling in the university context. The article ultimately argues for a rethinking of the university's role as a space for contesting sovereign claims to truth and fostering a more nuanced understanding of justice and collective memory. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of CR: The New Centennial Review is the property of Michigan State University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
