Radek Chlup is a lecturer in religious studies at Charles University in Prague. Originally he specialized in ancient Greek religion and philosophy(his book Proclus: : An Introduction was published by Cambridge UniversityPress in 2012), as well as in general theories of religion.
Recently he has expanded his interests into the area of modern political and national myths and rituals, as well as the study of conspiracy theories.

I study conspiracy theories as a form of modern social myths, trying to understand their symbolic logic.
