Session Proposals
The final schedule for SkeptiCamp NYC 2025 has not been finalized, yet. It should be published a week or two before the event. The Program Guide will follow some days after.
The following sessions have not, yet, been approved to be on the schedule. And, of course, they are subject to change, since they are merely proposals.

What on earth is skepticism, anyway? |

Skepticism, these days, is a bad word. You say you are a skeptic and people think you don’t believe in anything; plus, you may be confused with so-called climate change or vaccine “skeptics.” Yet, skepticism has a long and fascinating history, going back to Pyrrho of Elis and the skeptical phase of Plato’s Academy in the 4th-1st centuries BCE. In this talk I’d like to make a case for what skepticism actually is and for why we should not follow misguided folks who think we should “rebrand” ourselves. Skeptics of the world, unite! |
