Discursus was established in 2008 by a group of specialists from different disciplines to provide a not-for-profit framework for the pursuit of scholarly discourse that could tease out new insights and best practice from discussion between practitioners, academics and a wider audience. Its primary focus is on subjects that span disciplines and areas of expertise or experience and it is currently involved in an AHRC funded research project examining Purcell Fantasias from the viewpoints of professional performers and academics.
Discursus is currently seeking charitable status.
