Online: Tracing the Path from Women’s Health Advocacy to Conspiracy Theories
Erin Fredericks: Tracing the Path from Women’s Health Advocacy to Conspiracy Theories
The talk is titled: “Tracing the Path from Women’s Health Advocacy to Conspiracy Theories”
Using Christiane Northrup’s evolution from vocal women’s health advocate to conspiracy theorist as a case study, Dr. Fredericks will examine a worrisome new pattern of vocal women’s health advocates aligning themselves with QAnon conspiracy theorists. Refusing to simply dismiss these advocates, Dr. Fredericks examines the uncomfortable alignments and tensions between popular feminist criticism and contemporary conspiracy theories.
