Conspiracy thinkers are of all times

Witches who made love to the devil. A secret elite that used corona to enslave the world. Vaccinations against cervical cancer that were actually meant to make women infertile... Conspiracy thinking is of all times. Why do people believe in the most bizarre conspiracies? Do conspiracy thinkers trust their feelings more often than rational considerations, and are they more often politically extreme left or right? Prof Stef Aupers is a cultural sociologist and professor of Media Studies at KU Leuven. In collaboration with Ideefiks, Sirius and Dimensie. Lecture in Dutch, see programm here.
