<link people jaron-harambam>
Jaron Harambam, PhD candidate at the EUR Department of Sociology recently received one of the nine yearly Fulbright Scholarships for PhD students. This grant enables him to pursue his PhD research on conspiracy theories in the United States.
Harambam will spend half a year at the "Science in Human Culture" programme of Northwestern University in Chicago where he hopes to learn much from American academic life.
Most importantly, he looks forward to doing research in what can be called the cradle of conspiracy theories. For him the etnographic highlight will most likely be Conspiracy Con, the yearly conference of conspiracy theorists where "world's most controversial speakers convene".
