Psychological Dynamics of Dark Religion and Conspiracism

September 13, 2023

Due to unfortunate circumstances, Psychological Dynamics of Dark Religion and Conspiracism has been canceled. 

Is global warming a hoax?  Is Earth actually flat?  Is the CIA responsible for 9/11?  What is Quanon?  Why do many adhere vigorously to conspiracy theories?  The rise of irrational beliefs, fake news, alternative facts and conspiracy theories, along with fundamentalism, fanaticism and propaganda of governments calls for a no-holds-barred depth psychological exploration.  This course will examine depth-psychological phenomena and dynamics of dark religions and its connection to conspiracism.

This conference is being held virtually.
