Join us at historic Oneida Community Mansion House, Oneida, NY., for the Communal Studies Association’s 53rd Annual Conference.  Oneida was the home of the Perfectionists, founded in 1848.  At Oneida, the group lived in one huge residence (the Mansion House) and practiced “Bible Communism,” including complex marriage which involved “neither a plurality of wives, nor a community of wives, but a nullity of wives.”  Members considered themselves married to the group, not to a single partner.  Learn more about community, historic and contemporary, and share your experiences.  Scholarships for community members are available.  Find out more on our website www.communalstudies.org.
