On Sunday, January 19, 2025, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites William Dawley, PhD, to discuss his insights into the anthropology of the transhumanist and cryonicist communities. 
William Dawley is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bergen in Norway, working on the Technoscientific Immortality project, where his role is to research cryonics in the United States and better understand the transhumanists associated with it, especially their view of humanity's place in history and the future. He brings to the project his research interests in processes of sociocultural change and political-economic change and of the role of technology in these changes (especially biomedicine and new social-organizational technologies), and in how these changes interact with constructions of family and gender, and in a multidisciplinary, historical approach to the study of religion, spirituality, and secularism.

Hosted by KGRA Digital Broadcasting, Transhumanist Party Enlightenment Salon revives the tradition of thoughtful discourse for a new age. This podcast convenes experts and visionaries from fields that shape our tomorrow: longevity research, artificial intelligence, futurist philosophy, political theory, and cultural critique. The aim is to weave together these often-separate threads, fostering connections that can lead to genuine breakthroughs in how we see the world and our place within it. Each episode is structured as a deep, extended conversation, allowing ideas the space and time they need to fully unfold. You’ll hear discussions that grapple with the practical and ethical implications of emerging technologies, examine the philosophical underpinnings of a transhumanist future, and consider how art and politics intersect with radical scientific advancement. It’s a forum dedicated to rigorous, long-form dialogue in pursuit of a more rational and informed society. Tuning into this podcast means joining a modern salon, one where complex questions about human enhancement, societal evolution, and collective intelligence are explored with seriousness and intellectual curiosity. The conversations recorded here are not soundbites; they are immersive journeys into the minds at the forefront of redefining what it means to be human.
