These circumstances seem to have favored the emergence of a\nrange of potent conspiracy theories. Some of these theories pertain to COVID-19\nor the vaccination program against it, while others implicate pizza\nrestaurants, popular elections, and cellular broadband technology. These\nconspiracy theories may have had their origins in shady outposts of the\ninternet, but many of them have since \u201cmainstreamed\u201d, and have been implicated\nin large-scale political movements, including the storming of the US Capitol on\nJanuary 6th, 2021.<br>\nIn this edition of <em>PPE in a Time of a Pandemic<\/em>, we will consider\nconspiracy theories: what are they, what relation do they bear to truth, how do\nthey take hold of us, how can we free ourselves from them or guard ourselves\nagainst them, and what might happen if they acquire significant political\nbacking?<br>\nWe invite you to join us for a live panel discussion with Professors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rachelelizabethfraser.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rachel\nFraser<\/a> (Oxford University) and <a href=\"https:\/\/objectionable.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">C.
