Last Week Tonight with John Oliver featured our work, "Why do people believe COVID-19 conspiracy theories?"
"We are very excited to launch this NSF
SaTC project to continue studying the flow of unsubstantiated information over
the internet," said Manohar Murthi, Principle Investigator at the
University of Miami. "Our team seeks to answer how and why people spread
this type of information online, and with what consequences. In answering these
questions, our ultimate objective is to formulate countermeasures to these
dangerous narratives.”
Our research aims to explore the connections among conspiracy theory content, social and behavioral processes, and group and network structures.
