Society for Interdisciplinary French Seventeenth-Century Studies.

We shamelessly self promote my wife’s new radio show and podcast called:

Secrets of the Fairies  (https://www.facebook.com/SecretsOfTheFairies)

It’s hosted by my wife Dr. Charlotte Trinquet who is a major academic specialist on fairy tales and how they reflect society and sometimes criticize it. It’s a fascinating topic with lots of anthropology, sociology, and, of course, economics.
