M interviews Associate Professor Joe Uscinski of the University of Miami’s Political Science department. Joe is probably the political scientist working in the field of conspiracy theory theory, and is the editor of the new Oxford University Press book ‘Conspiracy theories and the people who believe them,’ of which M is a contributing author. In their wide-ranging discussion they talk about Joe’s new book, the state of research into conspiracy theory, QAnon, the salience of conspiracy theory to modern politics, and more.

Be seeing you!
