This year, the CenSAMM annual conference will take place at the University of Cambridge, 23-24 September 2025.
The conference will investigate apocalypticism, apocalyptic language, and millenarian movements in modern Britain, though papers on wider contextualisation will also be considered. The chronological period is the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The conference welcomes presentations and participants from across disciplines and fields, including history, literary studies, anthropology, sociology, religious studies, biblical studies, art history, film studies, and political sciences. Terms such as ‘apocalypticism’ and ‘millenarian’ are understood broadly to include (for instance) interrelated ideas of transformation of the existing order, a predicted golden age (or not), revelation, spiritual warfare, and prophecy, whether cast in religious or secular language.
The timetable will appear here shortly.
The conference will be livestreamed. To sign up for livestreming, please contact the Director of CenSAMM.
