# 'Conspiracy Theories': Separating Facts from Fiction with Chris Conner
Presented persuasively enough, even the most outlandish claims can make us question what we believe. For the past six years, Chris Conner, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Missouri–Columbia, has researched political conspiracy theories. His next book, QAnon: Capitalism and the Crisis of Meaning, is slated for release next summer. Drawing from this research, Conner offers critical insights into the rise of conspiratorial thinking and shares strategies for identifying credible information in today’s polarized media landscape.
Meet at the reception outside the auditorium - I will have a small sign that says "Meetup Group."8 attendees
