Center for Research in Festive Culture Seminars, Fall 2007: Religion and Festivity Dear Colleagues: The schedule for next year’s Center for Research in Festive Culture (CRFC) seminars at the Newberry Library, Chicago, IL, is now complete. In each case two papers will be discussed, having been circulated to correspondents of the Center one month in advance. In the case of the first two dates, the first named discussant will be also speaking in lecture format on a similar subject at Northern Illinois University on the Thursday afternoons preceding the Friday seminars at the Newberry.
