Theme
Interdisciplinarity in UAP Studies
Bridging diverse fields to advance understanding
Who Should Attend
This conference welcomes academics, researchers, and practitioners from across the social sciences, humanities, physical sciences, and consciousness studies. Graduate students exploring UAP phenomena and engaged members of the public are equally encouraged to participate in this unique interdisciplinary forum. Local/regional researchers are particularly invited to the in-person roundtables, which will focus on consciousness, esoteric studies, and their intersection with UAP research, making them especially valuable for scholars in these fields. This conference is part of the Society for UAP Studies' mission to advance interdisciplinary UAP research. Learn more about the Society's broader initiatives and membership opportunities.
Conference Structure
Our program features compelling plenary presentations that set the intellectual foundation, distinguished keynote addresses from leading thinkers, and focused discipline-specific workshops that allow for deep exploration within your field of expertise. The pre-conference informal in-person roundtables (without a virtual component) will provide an additional opportunity for local and regional researchers to connect.
Distinguished Keynote Speakers
We are honored to present two thought leaders who bring exceptional insight and scholarly rigor to the evolving field of UAP studies.
Professor Steve Fuller
A pioneering voice in the sociology of science, Professor Fuller brings decades of experience examining how knowledge systems evolve and adapt to revolutionary discoveries. His work on paradigm shifts and epistemic communities provides crucial context for understanding UAP studies as an emerging interdisciplinary field.
Professor Fuller will explore how traditional academic structures can accommodate and advance UAP research while maintaining scientific rigor.
Professor Ron Westrum
An internationally recognized expert on organizational culture and information flow, Professor Westrum has spent his career studying how institutions process unexpected or anomalous information. His frameworks for understanding organizational responses to uncertainty are directly applicable to UAP phenomena.
Professor Westrum will address the challenges and opportunities facing researchers working with contested or unconventional evidence.
Challenging Perspectives: Both keynote speakers will offer frameworks and insights specifically designed to advance interdisciplinary collaboration in UAP studies, addressing methodological challenges and institutional barriers that researchers currently face.
Pre-Conference Roundtable —
Consciousness Studies, Esotericism and UAP
Prior to the commencement of the SUAPS Annual Conference, on the first two conference days, an informal in-person roundtable session will invite participants to explore how consciousness and human experience intersect with the questions and challenges emerging within the field of UAP Studies. The discussion will consider how these dimensions – often subjective or experiential in nature – might be more rigorously grounded in scientific and scholarly inquiry. With scholars and practitioners of esotericism and occulture also in attendance, the session will examine how these fields overlap with the study of UAPs and how UAP Studies might engage such perspectives in a manner that is both critically robust and sensitive to their experiential and practice-based dimensions. The roundtable aims to foster an open yet intellectually disciplined dialogue about how esoteric and occult traditions, understood as living philosophical and practical systems, might contribute to a more comprehensive and empirically informed approach to the study of anomalous phenomena.
One outcome of these roundtables, it is hoped, would be a more in-depth workshop and symposium on these intersecting subjects—in addition to a special issue of the Society's journal, Limina. Here is the Society's vision for the workshop:
Conference Program & Participation
The SUAPS Annual Conference is designed for in-depth engagement, beginning with exclusive in-person pre-conference roundtable discussions that set the stage for the main virtual program, offering a unique opportunity for focused, interdisciplinary exploration.
Four Specialized Workshop Tracks
To foster deep, focused exploration within specific disciplines while maintaining cross-pollination of ideas, the conference features four parallel workshop streams. Each workshop provides space for rigorous methodological discussion and collaborative problem-solving among specialists.

Why Participate?
The Society for UAP Studies Annual Conference represents a rare opportunity to engage with a truly interdisciplinary community united by intellectual curiosity and scholarly rigor. In addition, the unique pre-conference roundtable discussions offer a rare opportunity to explore the intersection of consciousness, esoteric studies, and UAP research in a scholarly setting before the main conference begins. Beyond the formal presentations, you'll connect with peers across disciplines, contribute to the emerging literature through our peer-reviewed journal Limina, and help shape the future direction of UAP research.
This conference isn't just about sharing findings — it's about building the frameworks, methodologies, and collaborative networks that will define the field for years to come.
