In the offline world, my name is Egil Asprem. I work as a doctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam. Despite working and living in the Netherlands, I am not Dutch. I was born in Oslo, Norway, and spent most of my life in Trondheim. I also studied for two bachelors degrees there (in religious studies and philosophy), at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), before emigrating to the Netherlands.
I have been living in Amsterdam since 2006, when I moved to follow the MA study program at the GHF, to which I am now employed as a researcher and teacher.
In addition to, and combination with, my academic interests, I am also a skeptic (with a “k”), albeit a curious one. Although this blog will not engage in outright debunking, I may occasionally comment on current research into “the paranormal” and various news items bearing on such topics. Implicit in the analyzing gaze readers will not fail to notice a certain critical edge.
If you have comments, suggestions, questions, or just want to get in touch with me, you can write me on: e [dot] asprem [at] uva [dot] nl.
