European Branch

The European branch of the Society was established in June 2020. The Society’s branches serve as a first point of contact for scholars and organisations (within the branch’s geographical reach) wanting to organise SCS-sanctioned academic events; propose collaboration or partnership opportunities; share news and promotional materials of all things related to court studies. Since its establishment, the European branch has been very active through producing the Society’s newsletter, launching and running the Virtual Scholarship Series, and developing collaborative events, including three workshops and the 2020 “Privacy at Court”, the 2022 “Embodied Court”, the 2024 “Courtly Experiences” conferences.
