The Project is an interdisciplinary venture between philosophy and social media studies. It focuses on "figleaves"—a snippet of communication (textual or visual) that serves to mitigate the violation of social norms when relaying racist or conspiracist content, making the content more palatable to undecided readers. The Project aims to identify common figleaf terms in both racist and conpiracist discourse, the venues/forums where they are used, and the comparative success of figleaves to spread racist or conspiracist content.
