At the recent ARAM conference on the Mandaeans, a topic which some of us had discussed previously was brought up, namely the creation of a Society for Mandaean Studies.
Matthew Morgenstern has responded by setting up a Facebook page to get the process underway to formally bring such an organization into existence.
If you are a Facebook user, and are interested in this topic, please do “like” the page. And if you are a scholar who is interested in the Mandaeans, please do get in touch with me and/or Matthew Morgenstern to be kept in the loop about further developments.
