Rob McConnell Interviews - GEORGE HANSEN - Wanna Be Parapsychology Researcher and Sceptic George P. Hansen is a researcher and critical thinker known for examining parapsychology from both an insider and skeptic’s perspective. In Wanna Be Parapsychology Researcher and Sceptic, Hansen explores the social, psychological, and institutional dynamics that shape how anomalous phenomena are studied, accepted, or rejected.

His approach is valued for its intellectual honesty, reflexivity, and willingness to critique all sides of the debate.
