Professor of Evolutionary Cosmology, California Instituteof Integral Studies (CIIS)
Brian Thomas Swimme is Director of the Third Story of the Universe at Human Energy, a public benefit non-profit that focuses on scientific and interdisciplinary research on the future of human collective consciousness. Swimme did his doctoral work in gravitational dynamics at the University of Oregon. He is the host of the Emmy-award winning PBS special "Journey of the Universe," written with Mary Evelyn Tucker. His most recent media work is the 35-part video series "The Story of the Noosphere," created with Devin O'Dea and Monica DeRaspe-Bolles. Swimme's Cosmogenesis: An Unveiling of the Expanding Universe is an early example of the autocosmology genre combining contemporary science and cosmological phenomenology. His recent book, written with Monica DeRaspe-Bolles, illustrated by Sebastian Swimme, and commissioned by Human Energy, is companion to the series with the same title, The Story of the Noosphere.
