Public Parapsychology explores the art, technology, and science of various topics associated with exceptional experiences and phenomena collectively referred to as “psi.” This includes extrasensory perception, mind-matter interactions, and the survival of personality after bodily death.

Public Parapsychology supports the discussion of parapsychological research in light of social values such as equality, justice, and freedom; ecological values such as global health and sustainability; and intellectual values through constructive dialogue with and among students, citizen scientists, professional researchers, communities of practitioners, and religious and cultural leaders.

Mission

Public Parapsychology’s mission is to promote public scholarship by advancing parapsychological pursuits that inform and are informed by the public good; boosting the development and transfer of knowledge and technology; educating the public about what career scientists do; and listening to the public about what research needs to be done.

Mark Crewson

Mark Crewson has spent his life searching behind the fabric of reality to discover the meaning of everything. In his youth, it led him to explore the nature of the mind/body connection through the study of Judo, the intricacies of politics through scouting, and the interplay of mathematics & logic with sublime, divinely-inspired creativity through music, leading to his BA in Music. From there, he turned to a contemporaneous exploration of consciousness via spiritual practices, and his nearly 25 year career at Accenture mainly focused on program management.

Mark leads the Monroe Institute’s Outreach Leadership Council.
