New paper out in Higher Education (Springer): “We don’t need no thought control?”

We ask: What happens when #faculty, not just students, spread #conspiracytheories?
Our article outlines:
• Key drivers behind this phenomenon
• Concrete harms to students, science, & society
• A multi-level model & real solutions

A call for action in safeguarding academic integrity, without compromising #academicfreedom.

It's not all some evil conspiracy to not pay taxes in #academia and #HigherEd.
