About the Event
Are you interested in joining fellow members in group peer learning/teaching? Meet in person in a small group to discuss each others presentations and come away enriched from the experience. This class takes the form of a study group wherein each week members make a presentation for 20-25 minutes followed by discussion related to the topic. There will be two presentations each week for 6 weeks. Group participants may choose to create their own presentation or may show a video from YouTube, or a Ted Talk etc.
Conspiracy Theories abound in the media and our lives (eg Covid 19, politics, celebrity deaths, UFOs, assassinations, etc.) . We will explore how such conspiracies get started, who creates them and why, who adopts them, their impacts, and responses to misinformation.
Group Leader David Lloyd will be available to assist participants with topic choices and other guidance as needed. The first meeting will be an introduction to how the group will function and discussion will ensue on possible topic ideas, presentation formats etc.
