A note from Chris French:
Dear all,
I thought I would give you all advance notice of a new online Anomalistic Psychology course that we anticipate will become available in January 2012.
If the proposal is approved, an 8-week course will be offered by Goldsmiths College as a general introduction to anomalistic psychology, its methods and findings, with a view to demonstrating how psychological research seeks to examine and explain anomalous experiences such as ‘psychic’ experiences, out-of-body and near-death experiences, hypnosis, alien abduction claims, etc.
The course will be of interest to anyone with a serious interest in the scientific study of anomalous and ‘paranormal’ experience. Although prior experience of studying psychology will be an advantage, it will not be a course requirement, and prior knowledge of psychological research will not be assumed. The course will be offered fully online. Enrolled students will have access to online lectures and tutorials, reading materials, self-assessment exercises, and discussion forums.
It is anticipated that the course will be non-credit bearing, although students who complete the self-assessment exercises and engage in the online discussions will receive a certificate of attendance. The course fees are not yet fixed, although they are likely to be approximately £200.
At this stage we are attempting to gauge potential demand for such a course to support our proposal to the College. If you would like to register your early interest in this course (without any obligation on your part), please send me an email (c.french@gold.ac.uk) giving your full name, country of residence, and a brief statement of your background and interest in Anomalistic Psychology.
Finally, please feel free to forward this email on to any other individuals or groups that you feel may be interested.
Best wishes,
Chris
