On Conspiracy Theories:
Along with Prof Lisa Bortolotti and Dr Anna Ichino, as successful recipients of an AHRC IAA (Impact Acceleration Account) grant, we have produced short animated videos to convey and communicate our research on conspiracy theories; how they are created, adopted, and maintained over time. They have already been used at a number of venues, including the world's first Philosophy Museum in Milan, and I have taught using the materials at a number of summer schools at the University of Birmingham (UNIFEST summer school programme and National Access summer school programme). I also presented the philosophy garden and its videos at the SOPHIA annual conference 2024. Finally, we wrote a blog post for the Daily Nous here, summarising a lot of the ongoing work on this project.
You can see the 3 videos produced so far, here (with the video I worked on, below). We are collecting work on this project on this Philosophy Garden website. Feedback welcome!

During a workshop for the project 'Conspiratorial Ideation and Pathological Belief', I (among others) gave a short interview summarising my key ideas about conspiracy theories. You can see the whole collection here, with mine below.
