Alexander George presents a multimedia lecture about the fascinating history of Spiritualism, with special mention of its local manifestations in western Massachusetts. The afternoon will include demonstrations involving audience participation—if the spirits are willing.

Alexander George is the Rachel and Michael Deutch Professor of Philosophy at Amherst College, where he teaches courses on logic, mathematics, language, and the works of seminal figures in the Analytic Tradition. With his left hand, he explores the mind’s strange ways, including the history of magic, mediums, cons and charlatans.
