Conspiracy Theories & the 2024 US Election

As the dust settles from the 2024 US general election, conspiracy theories continue to swirl, shaping post-election narratives and public perception. Join us on December 2 for a timely discussion on Conspiracy Theories and the 2024 US Election, where we’ll examine the falsehoods that gained momentum in the weeks leading up to the general election and those that have emerged in its aftermath. Drawing from both recent and historical examples, we’ll explore how conspiracy theories influence democratic processes, public trust, and media coverage. Through the lens of media literacy and critical thinking strategies like the SIFT framework, participants will engage with the broader cultural and political impacts of these narratives and discuss tools for navigating misinformation in a polarized landscape. Don’t miss this important conversation on how conspiracy theories are shaping the political landscape in America today.
