Thanks to the ongoing support from the Panacea Charitable Trust, CenSAMM has established the Apocalypticism and Millenarian Movements Seminar in the Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge. This multidisciplinary seminar includes presentation of ideas, primary sources, work-in-progress, and published work on all things apocalyptic and millenarian. We expect papers to be livestreamed from September 2025 onward. All are welcome; please contact James Crossley if you are interested in attending.
