𝔖ociety member Michael Torregrossa has a call for papers out, writing (with some adjustment for the present format)
My group is hoping to get a Medieval/Medievalism Area up and running for the Northeast Popular Culture Association (NEPCA). To do this, we need to show them there is interest in the topic. To that end, we'd like to organize a session this year on the theme of "Medievalist Fantasy and Science Fiction" for NEPCA's upcoming fall conference. The event will be online from Thursday, 15 October, through Saturday, 17 October. Registration costs are usually low, and NEPCA offers some funding opportunities, if needed.
If you're interested, please send me the following no later than 14 June:
- Name
- Academic Affiliation
- Brief academic bio (75 words or less)
- What is your level of experience with NEPCA?
- Are there any accommodations that would make the conference more accessible to you?
- Time Zone
- Proposal Type:
- Working Title
- Abstract (for a full panel, 250 words or less)
He notes, too, the following
Full panel presentation: Three to four people are each presenting their own paper, however the papers are thematically connected. Each presenter will have 15-20 minutes to present depending if there are 3 or 4 papers being presented. All names are required for full panel presentation at time of proposal.
