“From Charisma to Conspiracy: Traits of Modern Secular Gurus," presented by Rikkyo University Professor Christopher Cavanagh
Prof. Cavanagh studies so-called Secular Gurus---that array of "influencers" found on Youtube and podcasts, that have come to prominence in the internet age. "These figures have adeptly blended elements of traditional spiritual and religious charisma with secular and scientific sources of knowledge, leveraging modern social media platforms to reach millions." Prof Cavanagh will explain their rise and the manipulative techniques they use.
