UMW Professor of Political Science Steve Farnsworth delivers the keynote lecture, ‘Battling Disinformation with Political Humor,’ at the Navigating the Digital World of Tomorrow conference in Poland this past spring. Farnsworth earned a Distinguished Scholar Fulbright Award to teach about presidential communication at the University of Warsaw from February to June.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After 25 years teaching political science at the University of Mary Washington, Steve Farnsworth knows how to juggle emails and phone calls from reporters on deadline who want to tap into his mind. This spring semester \u2013 in the midst of a presidential race he\u2019s been quoted as calling \u201cunprecedented\u201d \u2013 he added another layer, sharing his sought-after expertise on the other side of the globe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In Poland on a prestigious Fulbright Award to teach a course called \u201cU.S. Presidential Communication\u201d at the University of Warsaw (UW), he worked both inside and outside the classroom to unravel misconceptions about politics in the United States. Now fresh off his third \u2013 and, as a \u201cdistinguished scholar\u201d this time around, his most illustrious \u2013 Fulbright experience, he\u2019ll share with UMW the knowledge and perspectives he gained overseas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great opportunity to look at America\u2019s place in the world through outsiders\u2019 eyes,\u201d he said of his stint in Warsaw and the time he spent on the course, a mix of the \u201cMass Media and Politics\u201d and \u201cAmerican Presidency\u201d classes he teaches at UMW. \u201cI learned a lot about how America is viewed, and that will be really useful when it comes to teaching about the presidency and the media.\u201d<\/p>\n

To prepare, Farnsworth, who also directs UMW\u2019s Center for Leadership and Media Studies, brushed up on Polish history and spent a year studying the language. He rented an apartment 30 minutes by tram from UW\u2019s American Studies Center and went to work teaching \u2013 and lecturing \u2013 on U.S. presidential elections, political humor and the dynamic of disinformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cStephen was open to providing lectures in many settings outside\u00a0his host institution, all across Poland, even abroad [in Germany],\u201d said Polish-U.S.\u00a0Fulbright\u00a0Commission Executive Director Justyna Janiszewska. \u201cThat encapsulates the Fulbright spirit of sharing one’s culture and expertise with diverse audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previous work in the region had pulled him toward a Fulbright in Warsaw. A former journalist, Farnsworth had trained reporters in Eastern and Central Europe, contributing toward democratization efforts in the early 2000s. The experience led to his book The Global President<\/em>, about how America\u2019s commander in chief is perceived by people around the world.<\/p>\n

And Poland was ready for his expertise. Farnsworth discovered a prevailing curiosity throughout the country about \u201cwhat makes America tick,\u201d from voting habits to NATO involvement. But it was his work in disinformation \u2013 his co-authored book Producing News in a Time of Disinformation<\/em> was published last year \u2013 that was in highest demand, including as the topic of a Fulbright Poland keynote address he was tapped to deliver.<\/p>\n

But his most recent Fulbright assignment wasn\u2019t all work, said Farnsworth, who dined on Polish soups and perogies, explored cities like Lublin to the south and Gda\u0144sk on the Baltic coast, and visited museums that tell the story of Poland\u2019s difficult and sometimes tragic past. He was constantly surprised, he said, by the resiliency \u2013 even today \u2013 of the people of Poland, which shares a southeastern border with war-torn Ukraine and rushed to aid refugees fleeing the latest Russian invasion.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an amazing story of generosity and sacrifice of everyday Polish people, who have given their guest rooms and garages to refugees as the region has dealt with the biggest disruption in Europe since the end of World War II,\u201d said Farnsworth, who has also held Fulbrights in Kuala Lumpur and Montreal.<\/p>\n

All the while, he continued his daily array of media interviews with U.S. reporters covering everything from regional congressional races to the state of the presidency, despite a six-hour time difference. It\u2019s important work, Farnsworth said, that fosters our understanding of one another \u2013 just like his Fulbright in Poland.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of non-Americans think about the U.S. as much more of a president-centric country than we really are. The reality is that when it comes to executing policy, presidents face a lot of obstacles. I think that\u2019s an important understanding for people outside the U.S. to have,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s important for Americans to understand that this misconception exists internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hear Farnsworth discuss how political humor has become an increasingly important part of U.S. political communication, particularly regarding presidents and presidential elections during the first episode of the ninth year of Mary Talks<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
