Professor Emeritus of Political Science Michael Barkun recently participated in a panel discussion titled "Understanding QAnon," that was hosted by the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism. The panelists discussed the dangers of conspiracy theories, the processes of joining and leaving cults (and whether QAnon is itself a cult), and the threat that the United States faces from QAnon now that Joe Biden is president.
