Bristol Skeptics Society is delighted to present another instalment of Skeptics in the P̶u̶b̶… Theatre!
Skeptics in the Pub is a monthly lecture series, hosting academics from the world of science and skepticism, to share their unique research and insights. The goal is for every talk to delight and inspire, and help us understand our complex world a little better.
In May we will be welcoming Simon Clark to our stage talking about the surprising psychology of misinformation. This engaging and informative talk explores the growing prevalence of misinformation in today’s world, and the psychological mechanisms that make us vulnerable to it, both as individuals and as a society. Drawing on a range of compelling psychological studies, Simon Clark offers insights into how misinformation spreads and why it resonates, as well as some practical strategies for recognising and resisting misleading information in everyday life.
Simon Clark is a Cognitive Psychologist and member of the Technology, Democracy & Cognition (TeDCog) research lab at the University of Bristol's School of Psychological Science, led by internationally-renowned misinformation expert Professor Stephan Lewandowsky. As well as a masters degree (from the University of Surrey) in Psychology, he holds a degree in Business (from the University of Bath) and started his career in marketing and PR in the City of London.
Bristol Skeptics Society is dedicated to promoting science and critical thinking, combating misinformation, and pursuing a better, more compassionate world, through skeptical exploration and inquiry. ❤️
