Site of the month: The Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE)
Date: Wednesday, December 26, 2007 @ 21:10:14 UTC Topic: Science
The Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) is a multi-disciplinary
professional organization of scientists and other scholars committed to
the rigorous study of unusual and unexplained phenomena that cross
traditional scientific boundaries and may be ignored or inadequately
studied within mainstream science.
The
Society was founded in 1982 by fourteen scientists and scholars and now
has approximately 800 members in 45 countries worldwide. The SSE
publishes a peer reviewed journal, the Journal of Scientific
Exploration (JSE) and holds annual scientific meetings in the USA and
periodic meetings in Europe. Society members include scholars from a
broad range of disciplines. Topics addressed in its journal and in its
regular meetings cover a wide spectrum, ranging from real or apparent
anomalies in well-established areas of science to paradoxical phenomena
that belong to no established discipline.
This unique multidisciplinary perspective
provides challenging opportunities for creative professional dialog and
innovative research. In addition to the Journal and the Annual
Meetings, the SSE supports a Young Investigators Program. This program
is designed and implemented primarily by its participants, and its
purpose is to provide information and resources pertaining to the
scholarly study of anomalous phenomena and other frontier areas of
science. An informal discussion in which many members participate can
be found in the SSE Yahoo Group.
