Dr Mark Featherstone, Sociology and Research Institute for Social Sciences, gave an invited public lecture at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine on Tuesday, on the relationship between conspiracy theory and global health.

The seminar, which was attended by academics from the School and members of global public health agencies, such as the World Health Organisation, was concerned with the relationship between globalisation, conspiratorial thought, panics about contamination and infection, and the ways in which these can undermine public health initiatives.
