Ceri is a well‑established and highly respected figure in the wider folklore and pagan community, and we’re excited to have her join our Anniversary Event.
Dr Ceri Houlbrook, Senior Lecturer in Folklore and History, is the Programme Leader for the MA Folklore Studies at the University of Hertfordshire.
Her primary interests are ritual practices, popular beliefs, and how they adapt to contemporary society.
She has written three monographs (The Roots of a Ritual, Unlocking the Love-Lock, and Ritual ‘Litter’ Redressed), co-written two with Owen Davies (Folklore: A journey through the past and present and Building Magic), and co-edited several books and journal special issues.
In addition to her scholarly work, she writes folklore-inspired fiction. Her debut novel is entitled Winter’s Wishfall.
