I'm hoping that the combined wisdom of this list can point me in the correct direction. One of my undergraduate students is writing her senior thesis on American 9/11 conspiracy theory groups. I can help her with a general sociological framing of these groups, but I'm not sure where to direct her in terms of literature on new media and conspiracy groups (apart from a good This American Life episode from National Public Radio). Do any of you have suggestions for specific articles/books on conspiracy theory groups and their use of new media?

Thanks, CJ ___________________________________________ C.J. Pascoe Assistant Professor Department of Sociology Colorado College
