Lisagor<\/strong> reflect his interest in what he describes as &#8220;the interpersonal interaction between Jim Jones and Peoples Temple.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was drawn to study how such a counterintuitive act could be distorted logically into the most supported option,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Those who spoke against the act of mass suicide are also important to study, for with them lies the hope in dissent and reappraisal. I hope that, in spite of the difficult topic, continued evaluation will preclude similar events from occurring in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Lisagor earned a BA in American studies from the University of Mary Washington, and a BA (psychology) and MA (English) from Virginia Commonwealth University.
