I have had the honour of
being invited to co-organise this year’s “Popular Antiquities: Folklore and
Archaeology” conference, alongside UCL PhD candidate Tina Paphitis and the
Folklore Society’s Dr. Caroline Oates. Scheduled to take place at the UCL
Institute of Archaeology in Central London on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13
October, it looks set to be a fascinating event, and I’d welcome any of my
readers to grab a ticket and come along for the weekend. Unfortunately entry
isn’t free, but we are offering concessions for those who are unwaged or
students, as well as those who are already members of The Folklore Society. We
of course will be providing lunch, refreshments, and wine!
This will be the third year that this event has been held, and the second which has seen it run as a collaboration between UCL and The Folklore Society. We have some great speakers lines up, including some big names in the field of folkloristics like Jeremy Harte, who will be rounding off Saturday with a discussion of “Moral Megaliths.” If this conference looks like the sort of thing that would interest you, grab your ticket here. I hope to see some of you there.
Jealous! Is it actually possible to get bored in the UK? To have nothing to do, nothing to look at... I think not.
