Hey everyone,
There is an Anthropologist student in Washington DC doing a study and essay on Therians.
He is on werelist.com under animal tracks if your interested.

Cool. We need research. I hope he's not looking at Werelist as a representative sample, though.

He's looking at a lot of different Therian sites, I think.

It's still a concern, though. Let's say a researcher goes onto one of these uber-flaky sites (I'll not name names here) and looks around - or even goes onto it as one of several sites.......how are they to distinguish between Weres, role players, and wannabees? How corrupted will the results be? Of course, if he follows it up with some real life contacts, it might work out better. I wonder if there's a Granola Scale out there.......

Yeah, along with the research he's gonna need some real-life contact's. If not he probely will end up with a mixed bag of- trail mix!

Nah, the lecture has already been done, you can view it on YouTube, channel name TherianEdu. There are a couple of other people researching right now though, one theological paper and a team made up of psychologists, anthropologists, biologists etc who are doing some studies.

It's interesting that the Religious Studies community seems to have found us first (if you ignore all the work done on clinical lycanthropy). I'm glad to see some other disciplines taking notice.

Well, I think now is the time of the wolf. It's time to transform the world. Become one global pack. No racism, no speciesism. A lot more attention is headed this way, humans are animals, and we are going to start identifying with other animals more closely.

I don't think lycanthropy truly works that way.

But I think you're thinking in the right direction, anyway. Of course, the cats, bears, foxes, horses, etc. might take exception. They might want a part of it, too.
