SUBJECT: THE SSE FILE: UFO3224

The following is information about the Society for Scientific Exploration,
|
|
it's journal, and the upcoming annual SSE meeting (Jun 24-26) in Santa Fe,
|
|
New Mexico.
|
|
|
|
========================================================================
|
|
|
|
The Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) was founded in 1980 to advance
|
|
the understanding of anomalous phenomena and provide a forum where scientists
|
|
with differing belief systems can meet to exchange ideas concerning
|
|
phenomena that appear to contradict existing scientific knowledge. The
|
|
Reverend Ian Stand in his "High Weirdness by Mail" describes the SSE as
|
|
"repulsively academic ... just what eggheads, long-hairs and career college
|
|
students have been looking for." But in reality, the SSE is a dynamic
|
|
organization of almost 400 members that publishes the peer-reviewed quarterly
|
|
Journal of Scientific Exploration and holds an annual meeting. The group is
|
|
definitely NO CSICOP. Many SSEers belong to the Parapsychological
|
|
Association and the American Society for Psychical Research, as well as
|
|
mainstream organizations like the American Statistical Association, the
|
|
American Chemical Society, etc. It is a forum where all kinds of views can
|
|
be heard without censorship.

UPCOMING MEETING OF SOCIETY FOR SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Twelfth Annual Meeting of the Society for Scientific Exploration
|
|
will be held at the Best Western Inn at Loretto in Santa Fe, New Mexico
|
|
June 24 - 26, 1993. Local arrangements have been made by SSE members
|
|
Dr. John Alexander and Dr. Larry Dossey. Any Associate or Member of
|
|
SSE is entitled to present a paper at this meeting.
|
|
|
|
The Program Committee for this year's meeting consists of Henry Bauer,
|
|
Brenda Dunne, Michael Epstein, Beverly Rubik, and Michael Swords
|
|
(chair). The Committee has structured this meeting to be both
|
|
educational and entertaining. We plan to cover two areas of great
|
|
current interest. One is the so-called Mind-Body interactions with
|
|
implications for health, placebo effects, psychoneuroimmunology, and
|
|
bio-electromagnetism. The other comprises UFO phenomena, especially
|
|
concrete evidence, physical effects, and abductions. These subjects
|
|
will be the twin themes of the conference, with talks on these topics
|
|
dominating two of the three days. A tentative list of invited speakers
|
|
includes: Robert Ader, Larry Dossey, Beverly Rubik, Harry Rubin, and
|
|
Jan Walleczek for mind-body topics, and John Alexander, Richard Haines,
|
|
Donald Johnson, Mark Rodeghier, and Don Schmitt for UFO topics.
|
|
|
|
To encourage in-depth discussion, the talks and panel discussions will
|
|
have significant amounts of question time. To allow other SSE members
|
|
to present papers on their own research, the Program Committee has
|
|
decided to create what they hope will prove an attractive format for a
|
|
poster session, to be held in concert with a wine-and-cheese reception.
|
|
|
|
An excursion to an "exotic" setting will be scheduled: either the Los
|
|
Alamos Supercomputer facility or the ancient Anasazi Pueblo ruins near
|
|
Santa Fe. Cocktails and a banquet are scheduled for Friday evening.
|
|
SSE Associates and Members are encouraged to contribute papers for
|
|
possible oral or poster presentation. Please submit an abstract (of
|
|
200 words or less, to be received by April 24) to the Program Committee
|
|
Chair: Dr. Michael Swords; Department of Science Studies; Western
|
|
Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI 49008.

ABOUT THE JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION:
|
|
|
|
The JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION publishes peer-reviewed research
|
|
articles and invited essays in areas that do not fit neatly into the
|
|
matrix of present-day science. Now in it's 6th year of publication,
|
|
this quarterly journal provides a professional forum for the
|
|
presentation, scrutiny and criticism of topics falling outside the
|
|
established scientific disciplines. JSE publishes articles both "pro"
|
|
and "con", the only criteria being quality and scholarship. It is the
|
|
official publication of the international Society for Scientific
|
|
Exploration (founded in 1982). For information contact:
