About this guide
This resource guide has been designed for students in Samuel Garcia's Spring 2025 Expos course, Thinking with Conspiracies.
The resources and strategies described here are a starting point for the kind of research you'll be doing for your final projects.
They represent our first, best guesses at where you might find background research, primary source materials, and current scholarly conversations. As you proceed, other resources or other problem-solving strategies may have to be added in.
Remember that good research is often about following up on hunches, testing out a hypothesis and then seeing where else (or to what else) it leads. You may need to try several search combinations before you strike gold.
For personalized help, contact your course librarian by email or schedule a virtual or in-person reference consultation:
