This issue of DISKUS arises from the 2011 BASR annual conference which was hosted at Durham University. The theme of the conference was ritual knowledge and knowing. The following articles contreibute significantly to understanding of and debate about ritual and ways of knowing. They illustrate the vitality of ritual studies within and beyond the study of religion(s) not only by the diversity of empirical data analysed but also by the diversity of approaches taken. We are therefore offered both facts and approaches to consider and bring into dialogue with our own research and teaching interests. I hope you will find these articles as interesting and provocative as I have.
