- Lecture on conspiracist discourse in US political life, in age of Trump. Discussion of Russel Muirhead and Nancy Robenblum's book A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING (Princeton, 2019).
Video introductions to course materials for online graduate teaching modules taught by Dr Gerard Toal at the School of Public and International Affairs, Virginia Tech, Alexandria, VA 22314, USA.
CORRECTIONS: In this lecture I used phrases like "damaged psychology" and "abnormal psychology." My language here is unfortunate. I should have said "anomalistic psychology", which includes belief in the paranormal, superstitions, religiosity, pseudoscience, and classic (generic) conspiracy theories.
Also its "facts to fit our priors" in Cognitive Biases Enabling Conspiracist Discourse slide.
Also its Area 51 not Area 54 in Nevada.
