In this episode, Wits University media researchers Samuel Olaniran and Iginio Gagliardone guide an audio tour into the complex world of conspiracy theories in the era of social media and global crises. Drawing from multiple research findings and expert dialogues, Andile Masuku (host) grapples with the complex function of conspiracy theories in our society. Rather than dismissing them solely as social ills, he investigates their potential as tools for challenging authority and frameworks for understanding our social environment. This approach acknowledges that conspiracy theories can serve as a means for marginalised groups to question power structures and make sense of confusing or threatening events. Key themes: - Historical context of conspiracy theories - Impact of social media on the spread and study of conspiracy theories - The role of global events like the COVID-19 pandemic in shaping conspiratorial narratives - Technological advancements in studying conspiracy theories in real-time - Conspiracy theories as a form of social commentary and sense-making - The balance between critical thinking and supporting conspiratorial claims Learn more: Click here to discover more ongoing research and work being conducted in Wits University's Department of Media Studies: https://www.wits.ac.za/mediastudies Production credits: Produced by Andile Masuku and Iginio Gagliardone Co-produced by Brendan "Spike" Ballantine Written and hosted by Andile Masuku Recording, editing, sound design and mixing by Brendan "Spike" Ballantine Voice acting by Nkululeko Sibiya and Damilola Oladokun Editorial Note: The Future in the Humanities podcast mini-series is made possible through support from the Faculty of Humanities at the University of the Witwatersrand.
