DESCRIPTION:During this event\, Dr Hugo Leal and Dr Hugo Drochon will laun
 ch the results of a substantial survey on the topic of conspiracy and demo
 cracy.\n\nThe survey “Conspiracies”\, commissioned to YouGov-Cambridge
  Centre\, is the most comprehensive cross-national study ever conducted co
 mbining public perspectives on conspiracy theories\, news consumption\, so
 cial trust and ideological affiliation. It was fielded in nine countries\,
  including Great Britain and the USA\, and covers contentious issues\, suc
 h as anti-immigration sentiments\, Islamophobia\, anti-Semitism\, vaccine 
 scepticism and climate change denial.\n\nThe event is open to all and will
  examine the results of the survey and reveal the associations between som
 e of the most momentous events in contemporary history\, like the election
  of Donald Trump and the Brexit vote\, and conspiratorial beliefs. Are Bre
 xit and Trump supporters more likely to be conspiracy theorists? Is consum
 ing news on social media correlated with conspiracy beliefs? The answers t
 o these and other important questions will be given during the event.\n\nT

 y and Democracy: History\, Political Theory and the Internet': https://www
