Colloquium: The Satanic Panic
Step into the 1980s with an event that merged hysteria and paranoia: the Satanic Panic. Fueled by conservative anxieties and sensationalist media, society grappled with imagined 'Satanic cabals' lurking in pop culture, schools, and in every shadow.
Enter Chris Holland, a self-professed armchair researcher with a passion for promoting critical thinking. In our October colloquium, he'll navigate this murky terrain, sharing insights about the era's wild theories. As an 80's teenager subjected to the delirium, his perspective adds a unique twist to understanding the enigmatic Satanic Panic.
