The Global Grapevine: Why Rumors of Terrorism, Immigration, and Trade Matter
Gary Alan Fine, Ph,.D., John Evans Professor of Sociology, Department of Sociology, and Director of Graduate Student Affairs, Northwestern University
Host: David Inge
Northwestern University Sociologist Gary Alan Fine has been studying rumors for over 35 years. He began by looking at the ways rumors affected race relations and made it so difficult for blacks and whites to get together. In his more recent work, he has looked at rumors that deal with international politics. He says rumors provide access to what people believe and the beliefs they keep hidden. Fine will share some ideas from his book "The Global Grapevine: Why Rumors of Terrorism, Immigration and Trade Matter."
