Parapsychology in the United Kingdom with Chris Roe

Chris Roe is currently the president of the Society for Psychical Research, founded in the United Kingdom in 1882. He is professor of psychology at the University of Northhampton where he supervises doctoral students working on parapsychological dissertations. He is also a former president of the Parapsychological Association.

Here he describes the work of Robert Morris, the first person to hold the Koestler Chair of Parapsychology at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, starting in 1985. As a result there are now hundreds of individuals who have conducted doctoral level research in parapsychology in the UK. He shares his own experiences as a student at Edinburgh. He also discusses the many problems that parapsychologists still face. He expects parapsychology to grow at a slow and steady pace in the UK.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is the Grand Prize winner of the 2021 Bigelow Institute essay competition regarding the best evidence for survival of human consciousness after permanent bodily death. He is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “Parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).
