We’re pleased to introduce our Friends of Ceræ supporter program, a new initiative designed especially for our wonderful supporters and readers all over the world!
Established in 2014, Ceræ is committed to offering open-access publishing, furthering the possibilities of the digital humanities, and forging a strong, global community of medieval and early modern scholars. Your support will help us create a regular income stream to meet our ongoing costs of running our online journal and website, hosting our annual conference, and offering our newly expanded essay prize (further details below).
It’s a small way you can support a shared ambition to foster the careers of emerging and early career Medieval and Early Modern scholars – and access some great special offers at the same time! The Friends of Ceræ program consists of different friendship tiers, each with a range of attractive benefits. In keeping with our journal’s Latinate origins, the various friendship tiers are named for the different types of friends found within medieval and early modern sources. Become a sodalis, an amicus, or perhaps even an intimus of Ceræ. Depending on the tier selected, annual benefits include:
- A discount (ranging from 20% to 40%) off a range of Boydell & Brewer titles, valid from July through to the following June.
- A complimentary ticket to our annual conference and access to the recordings online.
- Exclusive access to the annual list of books available for review.
- Inclusion on a new Honour Roll as a supporter (or the option to remain anonymous if preferred), to be published in each volume.
We’d love for you to become a Friend of Ceræ. Find all the details here.
We are grateful for your support of our warm and welcoming Ceræ community!
