Religious Studies Opportunities Digest – 23 January 2018

Welcome to the latest RSP opportunities digest where you will find details of two conferences, a seminar, and seven conference calls for papers. This week’s opportunities digest is sponsored by the Centre for the Critical Study of Apocalyptic and Millenarian Movements, whose advert for their 2018 conference season kicks off the calls for papers, and who have been building a searchable database of millenarian movements with INFORM, available here: https://censamm.org/resources/profiles

Thank also to everyone who has signed up to support the RSP thus far through our Patreon–and PayPal options. We are aiming for 100 patrons (currently 18) to fund planned developments over the coming year.
