Planning for #Kzoo2024

𝔗o follow up on an earlier post, registration for the 2024 International Congress on Medieval Studies is open. Registration is here, and it's a sliding scale.

The Society has a few things on offer for the Congress this time around, all virtual, and all in US Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4):

  • Business Meeting- Thursday, 9 May 2024, 8:30pm
  • Alternative Medievalisms against the Tolkienian Tradition- Friday, 10 May 2024, 1:30pm
  • Tolkien and Twenty-First Century Challenges: A Roundtable- Saturday, 11 May 2024, 3:30pm

Items on the agenda for the business meeting, which will serve as the AGM called for by §5.1 of the Society Constitution, remain

  • Determination of the Society offerings for the 2025 Congress;
  • Election of the Society President, 2024-2027, per §4.2.2 of the Society Constitution and the 2021 AGM; and
  • Other business as the Society decides to treat and as time permits.

Incumbent Society President Geoffrey B. Elliott notes that he is not willing to stand for reelection, having already served in the capacity for six years.

Please send Congress offering ideas and nominations for President to talesaftertolkien@gmail.com, and we'll see you at the 'zoo!
