The Society originated at a meeting of a European Science Foundation Exploratory Workshop held in Venice. A full description of the Workshop and the Report sent to the ESF are included on this site by way of links in the left-hand column.
You'll find on the site a variety of useful categories of information, as listed in the column at the left hand side of the screen. You will also find links to sites already in existence which hold information of interest to Festivals researchers.
A FORUM for your questions on Festivals topics can also be accessed from this site. We rely on members of the Society to offer answers. The appropriate area of the Forum is open to all. The Society convernors, initially Margaret McGowan, Ronnie Mulryne and Margaret Shewring, will moderate questions and answers. An INTERNATIONAL NETWORK, overseen by Laura Fernandez-Gonzalez, also allows for an exchange of research information and contacts.
The RECENT PUBLICATIONS section is currently edited by Linda Briggs (University of Warwick).
The Society's most recent Conference was held at the Warburg Institute, University of London, on 18 and 19 March 2011 under the title: Spanish-French Marriage Festivals and Politics 1612-1615.
