Parapsychology Foundation International Affiliates Conference
The Parapsychology Foundation is celebrating its 65th year in operation this year. Dedicated to providing support for students and researchers in the field of scientific and academic parapsychology, the PF decided to launch the Parapsychology Foundation Online Academy on WizIQ with its first online International Affiliates Conference. Parapsychology Foundation has long had a handle on the international scene, and from the 1950s through 2005 offered regular conferences all over the world, highlighting the work of the best and the brightest in the field. Combined with The PF’s extraordinary Eileen J. Garrett Library, its publications, scholarships, grants and awards, and the now-under-reconstruction suite of websites, the Foundation’s conference series has always been a beacon for those seeking new and comprehensive information about the field as a whole.
Skills / Knowledge
- Individuals who attend or view all the lectures and take part in discussions will come away from the conference with a good understanding of the breadth of the field geographically as well as the various individuals, methodologies and findings that have come and gone and are still in operation in the countries that will be covered. Individuals who attend will also become familiar with the Foundation’s work supporting researchers and students in a wide variety of countries. Because of the question and answer period after each lecture and the discussion forum available on the conference’s main page, attendees will also have the opportunity to meet and talk with others from around the world who share their interests and experiences. Although the course does not prepare attendees for any certification or exam, it will provide a unique look into the scientific study of psychic phenomena, experience and belief around the world.
