The European Research Council (ERC) has granted anthropologist Dr. Jürgen Schaflechner from Freie Universität Berlin a Consolidator Grant with which to fund his project “Conspiracy Theorizing from South Asia.” Over the next five years, Schaflechner and his team will investigate the formation, mediatization, and appropriation of conspiracy theories in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. By examining South Asia, this research project seeks to redress an existing overemphasis on the Global North in the field of global conspiracy theories. The ERC Consolidator Grant is considered one of the most prestigious European grants available for experienced researchers. In addition to substantial funding amounting to almost two million euros over a five-year period, it brings international visibility, enhances academic standing, and creates new avenues for cooperation.
