A picture of journalist and author Marianna Spring, and her book

About

What drives otherwise reasonable people to believe that almost everything – from the worst attacks and wars to global health crises and climate change – is a hoax designed to kill or control millions? Join Marianna Spring, the BBC’s award-winning Disinformation & Social Media Correspondent, as she takes us on a tour through conspiracyland. Spring shares first-hand stories from the world of conspiracy theories, trolls and algorithms and explores how those behind the information war threaten our society and our values.

Please note, this event was originally planned to take place in October, due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts, this event is now due to take place 29th March.
