Molly Johnson is a PhD student investigating how cultural metanarratives and unconscious processes shape interpretations of anomalous and transpersonal experiences, as well as ontologies of human and non-human Others. Her previous research has centered around crises of meaning-making and mobilization, superconspiracy theories, and the sociology of knowledge production, particularly in the transformative challenge the UFO phenomenon poses to hegemonic Western paradigms. Molly’s current focus is how experiences across "the anomalous"—UFO/UAP, psi, the paranormal, near-death experiences, altered states of consciousness, etc.—are narrativized in relation to, and often in excess of, broader spiritual and religious systems.
