in cooperation with the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris,
France, the first World Conference on Fraternalism,
Freemasonry, and History: Research in Ritual, Secrecy, and
Civil Society (La Conférence Mondiale sur la Fraternité, la
Franc-maçonnerie et l'Histoire, recherche sur les notions de
rituel, de secret et leur rapport à la Société civile), focuses
on the study of ritual, secrecy, and civil society vis-à-vis the
dynamics of Masonic scholarship around the world. The
conference explores how civil society, secrecy, and ritual have
been important elements during different episodes of local
and world histories, and indeed still are. The WCFFH 2015
is a part of the PSO's support of research into social capital,
civility, and the role of non governmental organizations in
democracy. For more information, please visit:
