Isabel Machado and I are starting a special podcast series on the New Books Network, “New Books in Celebration Studies” and welcome collaborations. If you are the author of a book that investigates celebrations, festivities, or any act of recognizing something or someone through ritual, we would love to talk to you about it in an episode. And if you would like to be a guest host for the series please contact us.
