Psi in Practice: Dialogues on Investigation

Call for Submissions

Deadline: May 27, 2027

Publication asks: what does it mean to share this work—and with whom?

 

As emphasized in the call, Publication is not only about reporting results, but about contributing to an ongoing dialogue between scientists, practitioners, and the public. It is where individual efforts become part of a shared record.

 

We invite reflection on publication as a practice: writing, framing, interpretation, and communication. How are findings presented? How do we navigate skepticism and accessibility? What responsibilities come with contributing to public scholarship in a field that challenges prevailing assumptions?

 

This series centers on how knowledge is shaped, communicated, and received.

Submission Types

  • Short essays: up to 5,000 words, including a 250-word abstract, for a general scholarly or scientific audience
  • Public Lectures: up to 45 minutes, pre-recorded and accompanied by an extended abstract up to 1,000 words in plain language
  • Interactive Workshops: practical or experiential live online sessions that actively engage attendees, up to 90 minutes, accompanied by a summary of up to 1,000 words in plain language
  • Panels: live or pre-recorded, involving three or more speakers, up to 90 minutes, accompanied by an up to 1,500-word summary, which may include specialist language, if necessary

Submissions should thoughtfully engage with the Psi in Practice theme, exploring novel perspectives, challenging existing practices, or offering creative insights. We particularly encourage submissions that explore how parapsychological methods can foster personal growth, ethical development, and the formation of compassionate, responsible future investigators.

Accepted submissions will be presented and published online and in a proceedings. By the end of the series, participants will have contributed to a growing archive of methodological reflection, practical experimentation, and ethically grounded discourse that strengthens the foundations of contemporary parapsychology.

Timeline

The Publication series will be presented September-November 2027 in a mixed format, combining asynchronous online content (pre-recorded talks and essays) with synchronous live events (workshops, panels, and discussions), allowing for global participation across time zones. 

The deadline for submissions is May 27, 2027.
