CONSPIRACIES: FACT OR FICTION?

Why are conspiracies so popular? Where do they come from and how legitimate are they? Since the assassination of JFK, people have been labeled as being "on the fringe" if they question any other version than the official account. The claims continue, however, and today, more than ever, academics, politicians, journalists, and the public at large continue to be engaged by the ideas of conspiracy. This course will look at examples from the last 50 years, consider the role of the media, and analyze 3 case studies: the 2004 election, 9/11, and the New World Order.
