The Science of Weird Shit: Twenty Years of Weird Science at Goldsmiths
Following his retirement in October 2020, Emeritus Professor Chris French reflects on the work of the Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit, founded in the year 2000.
Ever since records began, in every known society, a substantial proportion of the population has reported unusual experiences many of which we would today label as “paranormal”. Opinion polls show that the majority of the general public accepts that paranormal phenomena do occur. Such widespread experience of and belief in the paranormal can only mean one of two things. Either the paranormal is real, in which case this should be accepted by the wider scientific community which currently rejects such claims; or else belief in and experience of ostensibly paranormal phenomena can be fully explained in terms of psychological factors.
Chris tells us about anomalistic psychology, the study of extraordinary phenomena of behaviour and experience, in an attempt to provide non-paranormal explanations in terms of known psychological and physical factors.
I will be giving a talk on “The psychology of ghosts and hauntings” at Goldsmiths at 4 pm on 8/12/22 in Room 300a of the Richard Hoggart Building. Free, open to all, no need to book.
