Come and listen to psychologist and author Jonas Hjalmar Blom who mixes scientific findings with humor and real-life examples. In addition, the audience gets to create their own conspiracy theory step by step. An exciting, useful and fun storytelling evening. And rumor has it that coffee will be served...
A lecture where psychological research is the basis for showing with both humor and seriousness how a conspiracy theory is built up. In today's world, stories take up a lot of space, both the genuine ones and those built on looser foundations. In collaboration with Skellefteå City Library, we present Jonas Hjalmar Blom, PhD student in psychology at the Center for Service Research at Karlstad University. In the lecture The Conspiracy Recipe, Jonas mixes science with humor and explains how a conspiracy theory comes about. He also lets the audience create their own.
After the lecture and Q&A session, we open up the opportunity for conversation around the tables.
