Ep. 5 - Conspiracy narratives in Côte d’Ivoire – with Margaret Gamberton

How are conspiracy theories, and narratives about those conspiracy theories, used in times of war? This week, I am speaking with Margaret Gamberton about her research on the role that narratives about conspiracies played on both sides of the civil wars in Côte d’Ivoire.

Dr Margaret Gamberton is the co-ordinator of the Narrative Warfare Research Network. Her PhD thesis was on the narrative war surrounding military interventions in Cote d’Ivoire. She is also a fellow alumnus of the University of York! Her thesis has been published as a book, titled Waging Peace: The Narrative War for Cote d’Ivoire.
