Royal Studies Network (RSN)

Description

The Royal Studies Network (RSN) is an ideal way to connect with other scholars who are working on monarchal topics in any geographical or temporal context. It has created a global, web-based community to share ideas, research, publications, notices about conferences and events and assist in the development of collaborative research projects. The group has created a forum for research in the area of royal studies - through the Kings and Queens conference series, in collaborative publishing projects and the Royal Studies Journal and on social media outlets. All of these activities help to share and develop research in the vibrant and developing field.

This network is intended to connect academics and independent scholars whose research interests focus or even just touch on royal themes, including biographical studies, rulership, royal courts, relations between monarchs and the aristocracy, palaces, royal patronage, the military role of monarchs, succession, matrimonial politics, diplomacy, the image and representation of monarchs and many more possible topics. The network welcomes specialists from any discipline including (but not limited to) historians, art historians, literature specialists, archaeologists, political scientists - in hopes to generate interdisciplinary connections to generate new ideas and strengthen existing research.
