About Confrat-L

Confrat-L is an international, moderated discussion list devoted to research on all aspects of medieval and early modern confraternities, religious guilds, hevrot, tariqa, and futuwwa. The list is comprehensive and inclusive in its support of confraternity studies. Accordingly, we welcome, for example, work that is inter/trans disciplinary; local, regional, or global in scope; and also that explores connections to modern institutional fraternalism. Participation in Confrat-L is open and not limited to members of the Society for Confraternity Studies. For information on how to join the list, see Subscribe.
