- Sunday Speaker Series — Conspiracies in Modern American HistoryBetween the Lines Studio Theatre, Allentown, PA
Conspiracy theories existed long before Julius Caesar met his abrupt demise at the Curia of Pompey. And today's environment seems to fuel them even more intensely. Join us as Dr. Gambone unpacks modern conspiracy theories and their impact.
American history is filled with fear and paranoia about forces far beyond our control. We are fascinated by the idea of conspiracies designed to take our freedom, control our thoughts, and shape world events. These are high stakes issues that ask a simple question: “Do the facts support the claims?” Finding answers to this question is critical not to just personal curiosity, but the health of our country and society.
Dr. Michael D. Gambone is a Professor of History at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania and the author of eight books, including Modern Conspiracies in America: Separating Fact from Fiction (2022) and The New Praetorians: Modern American Veterans, Society, and Service in the Forever War (2021). He served in the 82nd Airborne Division between 1985 and 1988. In 2006, he deployed to Iraq as a Department of the Army contractor and served in the city of Mosul.
