Report of the Doctoral Students Study Day on Freemasonry and Fraternalism, UCL Institute of Archaeology, London

Abstract

This report gives an overview of the fourth annual International Doctoral Students Study Day on the theme of ‘Freemasonry and Fraternalism’. Those presenting papers represent a cross-section of the doctoral experience, from those just beginning the doctoral journey to those having recently completed it. The range of material discussed demonstrates the richness and vitality of the subject: Nazi-occupied Guernsey; freemasonry under the British Raj; Italian freemasonry in Ottoman lands; music and ritual in freemasonry; the masonic tradition of the seven liberal arts.
