“Contagious Conspiracies in the Age of COVID”

Whitney Phillips, an assistant professor in the Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies in the College of Visual and Performing Arts, was featured in Cornell University’s Alliance for Science livestream conversation on “Contagious Conspiracies in the Age of COVID.” The livestream features discussion surrounding how “the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has been accompanied by an equally far-reaching and far-ranging mix of conspiracy theories,” including “fake claims about cures and causes to dubious connections with technology and philanthropists.”
