About CenSAMM

The Centre for the Critical Study of Apocalyptic and Millenarian Movements (CenSAMM) was established to promote high quality critical and academic research into apocalyptic and millenarian movements across time, place and culture.

The Centre was established by Panacea Charitable Trust trustees and academics from the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford. Their vision was to establish “a world centre of excellence in the critical study of apocalyptic and millenarian movements and aid the public understanding of the legacies and future possibilities of these crucial, creative and often misunderstood forms of human culture.”

CenSAMM is a non-religious and non-partisan organisation; the Centre seeks to promote academic rigour and critical inquiry, with an inclusive and interdisciplinary scope. The Academic Director is Prof. James Crossley.
