British Academy Project on conspiratorial ideation and pathological belief, based at @ptrbirmingham, ran by @Ema_SB and @annaichino, January 2022-March 2024.

Joined September 2021
In addition to the workshops, the project team gave several talks on the subject of conspiracy theories. In January 2022, Anna and Ema presented their paper ‘Conspiracy Attitudes, Delusions, and Psychopathology’ at the Why Do People Believe Weird Things? seminar series.

Our original plan was to hold two workshops, one in Birmingham, and one in Gargnano. The way things fell meant we were able to hold a third workshop. Workshop one was on conspiratorial belief and pathology and took place @PTRBirmingham in April 2023.
