Join us for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka, Professor of Religious Studies at UNC Wilmington, as she explores the intersection of religion, technology, and the mysterious world of UFOs (now UAPs).

From academic insight to cosmic curiosity, Dr. Pasulka challenges the boundaries of belief and science in a way that is authentically speculative, exploratory, and expansive.

Dr. Pasulka’s research focuses on religion, technology, and emerging religious movements. She has authored a series of acclaimed books, including:

Encounters: Experiences with Nonhuman Intelligences (2024), American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, and Technology (2019), and Heaven Can Wait: Purgatory in Catholic Devotional and Popular Culture (2014).
