Especiall three PhD theses I can't seem to find anywhere (not even the British Library...): T.E. Hope (2004)Doing late modern community: British Pagans and the processes of group membership. York. C.E.C. Nicholson (2003)An investigation into women in neo-paganism and fundamentalist/evangelical Christianity, with reference to Grace Jantzen's Becoming Divine and Pamela Anderson's A Feminist Philosophy of Religion. Exeter. A.C. Simes (1995)Contemporary paganism in the East Midlands. Nottingham. I am hoping that someone on this list will either have the dissertations as datafiles or is one of the authors/knows the authors and can help me get in touch with them. Thanks a lot!
