Today on Sense of Soul Podcast we have Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka  she is a Professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington. Her scholarship primarily centers on Catholic history, with a special emphasis on the intersection of new religious movements. Her published work, on topics as varied as the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory to UFOs, to human potentials, has received international acclaim. She is the author of one of my favorite books, American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, and Technology (Oxford University Press) a breakout success that brought attention to the U.S. governments focus and study of UFOs and UAP.  I invited her to join me today to tell us about her newest book called Encounters: Encounters: Experiences With Nonhuman Intelligences
She has an impressive portfolio as a co-editor, focusing on the nuanced relationship between digital technology and religious practices and beliefs.
