Description
The PhD study, Truthers and Truth Defenders in Sweden - An Ethnographic Study of Conspiracy Theories and Conflicts over Truths, is a part of the ERC-funded research project, Conflicts Over conspiracy theories (CONSPIRATIONS), run by PI, Dr. Elzbieta Drazkiewicz. CONSPIRATIONS is a comparative ethnographic research project of conspiracy theories in different European countries (Germany, Sweden, Poland, Estonia, Belgium and Bulgaria).
The objective of CONSPIRATIONS is to study the growing tension over conspiracy theories in Europe. The aim is to move beyond previous research's exclusive focus on ‘truthers’ (Those who endorse conspiracy theories) to examine the perspective of ‘truth defenders’ (Those who counter conspiracy theories) as well.
