How widespread among the U.S. population are QAnon and associated conspiracy adherents' political beliefs and what are some of the reasons why individuals hold these opinions? Dr. Brandon M. Chapman (Instructor and Department Chair of Anthropology and Sociology, RCBC) will be addressing these questions and discussing recent data from surveys of U.S. voters and evidence from his own fieldwork with Republican voters that provide insight into these issues.
Dr. Chapman is a Cultural Anthropologist specializing in local and traditional knowledge, political and economic ethnography, political values and Cognitive Anthropology. He has done fieldwork in Russia, parts of the CIS and Eurasia, Arctic and sub-Arctic Alaska, Trindad/Tobago, Peru and Ecuador and has been published in several journals and popular science magazines.

This particular event is the second of a three part series spanning the 2021-2022 academic year in which Dr. Chapman will speak with Temple Sinai about his current research on the political opinions and beliefs of U.S. Nationalist voters.
