Noelle Cook is an ethnographer and storyteller who studies how extremism, conspiracy theories, and disinformation shape everyday life. She is the author of The Conspiracists: Women, Extremism, and the Lure of Belonging (Broadleaf Books, 2026) and Associate Producer of The Conspiracists, a feature documentary based on five years of immersive research. Her work examines the cultural, emotional, and generational forces that draw ordinary Americans—especially middle-aged white women—into conspiratorial worlds, using empathy without endorsement to understand how identity and belonging take root in places where conspiracy and extremism intersect.
