Welcome to the latest RSP opportunities digest where you will find details of four conference calls for papers, a journal call for papers, a conference, a summer school and a fellowship. 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 digest.
Thank you so much 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 16) to fund planned developments over the coming year. See our donations page for details of how you can sign up for a regular subscription, leave a one off donation, advertise with us, or use our Amazon links. Particularly with the ‘festive season’ coming up, it couldn’t be easier to be part of the solution and not the problem!
