    Aims of the Society

    Established at Bristol, England in 2002 by two postgraduates, Alison Butler
    and Dave Evans, the Society for the Academic Study of Magic (SASM) was created
    to further communication and exchange among scholars interested in the study of
    magic throughout the world and encompassing all eras.

    Its range of concerns includes, but is by no means limited to, the history,
    sociology, philosophy, psychology, anthropology of magic, magical practices and
    theories of magic, as well as magical objects, artifacts and texts. We are
    avowedly cross-disciplinary and thus would be interested to hear from anyone
    in ANY academic discipline, and freelance researchers involved in studies
    of such subjects. In furtherance of its ends, the Society aims to:

    * Provide a network for scholars interested in the study of magic
    * Inform members of upcoming conferences and events concerning the study of
    magic
    * Provide listings of recent publications and employment opportunities in
    the subject area, and
    * Publish a printed Journal yearly, containing news, book reviews and articles
    of interest.
