Join us for a Mead-Swing talk by Dr. Rachel Carbonara Affiliate Visiting Fellow at the Center for Culture, Society, and Religion at Princeton University.
Tips and tricks for “manifesting” have become ubiquitous on social media platforms. But what, exactly, is manifesting? Where did it come from? And why is it suddenly everywhere? This talk traces the history of the practice, and its shifting underlying theories of mental magic, from 19th-century America to the present.
