The Fan Studies Network

The Fan Studies Network is an organization dedicated to exploring and understanding the behaviors, motivations, and culture of fans—people who passionately support and engage with various forms of media, such as sports, movies, music, and TV. It brings together researchers, fans, and industry professionals to share insights, discuss trends, and analyze how fandom influences culture and society. Through events, publications, and networking, the network aims to deepen knowledge about fan communities and their significance in shaping popular culture.
