Lumos Submissions Deadline Fast Approaching!

[Bekki Olivieri]

The deadline for submitting a programming proposal is less than two
weeks away.  Midnight on January 15, 2006 is the last chance to send
in your proposal to present at Lumos 2006: A Harry Potter Symposium.

In addition to formal papers, Lumos is seeking a variety of
presentation models, including pre-organized critical panels,
workshops, roundtables and poster sessions. Suggested topics include:

•	Discussion of themes within the Harry Potter books and films
•	Exploration of legal and political issues related to the texts, both
within the world of the books and as they relate to our own Muggle
world
•	Critical responses to the texts through the lenses of anthropology,
sociology, psychology, folklore, etc.
•	Programming suited for educators and librarians
•	Discussions of the unique cultural issues arising within the Harry
Potter fandom.
•	Examination and discussion of original fan-generated responses to the texts
