RESEARCH PROFILE
My current research focuses on parapsychology in state-socialist Czechoslovakia, exploring how parapsychological knowledge became part of scientific and institutional life. I examine phenomena such as telepathy, psychokinesis and bioenergetic healing, seeking to understand how they came to be regarded as legitimate subjects of scientific inquiry, or at least as phenomena worthy of investigation and discussion.
