CRC February Colloquium Lecture: Is Everything a Cult?

Starts: 3:30 pm on Thursday, February 27, 2025
Ends: 4:30 pm on Thursday, February 27, 2025

Presented by Dr. Mara Einstein, Professor of Media Studies at City University of New York

Dr. Mara Einstein sheds light on why cults are now seemingly everything, from cult brands to multilevel marketing to politics. Digital technologies fuel this phenomenon by replicating the perfect scenario for cults to thrive, including fomenting in-and-out groups, valorizing charismatic leaders, and isolating people into limited belief systems. A book signing will follow the lecture.

Book Signing Location - GSU Terrace (GSU 239)

Location:: GSU Auditorium, 775 Commonwealth Ave
