Science Speaks Seminar

Where there’s smoke, there are conspiracy theorists! Hannah Tierney is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of California, Davis.

If we want less uptake of conspiracy theories, such as those that have spread about the Australian and American fires, we need to better understand why people believe that there is no anthropogenic climate change, and to challenge the motivations for holding such beliefs.

Hannah Tierney’s work focuses on the intersection of ethics, cognitive science, and metaphysics, and she writes mainly on issues of free will, moral responsibility, and personal identity.
