𝔄s a follow-up to "An update on #Kzoo2020," and given the news that came from Western Michigan University today, it is clear that neither the panel discussion "Deadscapes: Wastelands, Necropoli, and Other Tolkien-Inspired Places of Death, Decay, and Corruption" nor the annual general meeting provided for in §5.1 of the Society Constitution will take place as scheduled. I am currently coordinating with the panelists as to how and if we will move ahead with the panel, and I will update the Society as I receive word.
That noted, the Society does still have business to conduct, namely the elections of a new Vice-President (at-large) and Secretary and the selection of additional panel/s to propose for the hoped-for 2021 Congress and to other conferences of interest. Per §5.4 of the Society Constitution, the Society can conduct its business meeting electronically at need. I will be reaching out to the other Society officers to see about setting up such a thing; notice will follow from the Secretary as appropriate for it.
As ever, thank you for your engagement with the Tales after Tolkien Society. Be safe and well, and be in touch!
