"""The second edition of Page and Connell’s The Routledge Handbook of Events brings together leading researchers to extend perspectives in this burgeoning area of study. New chapters include notable critiques of under-represented aspects of event studies including diversity, inclusion and human rights. A valuable update for event studies students and researchers."" Professor Karen A. Smith, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand ""The list of contributors to this Handbook reads like a Who's Who of event scholarship. Events are analysed from multiple perspectives and this new edition contains several new chapters which highlight the advances made in critical events studies. This is an impressively comprehensive text that does justice to a very diverse and rapidly expanding field."" Dr. Andrew Smith, School of Architecture & Cities, University of Westminster, UK"
