Mark Fenster, a University of Florida law professor and expert on conspiracy theories, will visit the Hive for a chat with Prime members.
Fenster, the author of Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture, studies how and why conspiracy theories circulate and the effects that they have on culture and politics. He’s also working on a forthcoming book on government secrecy, which asks why are we never satisfied with the amount of information the government discloses.
