Working Group: The Paranormal
“One Step Beyond: The Paranormal and the Limits of Reason” centers on what the historian of religion Jeff Kripal terms “anomalous experience.” This working group aims to redress the silence around the “paranormal” (the supernatural, uncanny, magical, etc.) in 20th-century academic discourse by turning to what the artistic production and creativity, the sciences, religious belief and practice, and the experience of the everyday, as well as emerging scholarship in the humanities. Co-conveners: Joseph Donahue (English), David Morgan (Religious Studies), and Priscilla Wald (Gender, Sexuality & Feminist Studies / English).
