Season 2: Episode 2

We welcome our expert co-host, Conspiracy Rhetoric professor, Dr. Neville-Shepard, from the University of Arkansas. We will talk about Project Sunshine, the JFK assassination, and other controversial mysteries.

What is "truth", and how does institutional mistrust affect kids as they navigate through their educational experience? In Dr. Neville-Shepard's KUAF interview, he says the growth of conspiracy culture comes down to: "Where do conspiracy theories come from, who believes them, how do they spread, and how do we respond?"
