Lumos Submissions Deadline Just Three Days away!

[Bekki Olivieri]

The deadline for submitting a programming proposal is just three days
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
