Ian Collier from The Tolkien Society writes: I thought that you’d be interested in the news about this year’s Tolkien Society Seminar on the theme “Journeys & Destinations”: Call for Papers & Announcement – The seminar provides academics, students and independent scholars with a venue for interdisciplinary dialogue. This year the theme is “Journeys and Destinations” in Tolkien’s works. Participants are free to draw on any part of Tolkien’s oeuvre, or to follow a thematic line within one text, or one text in its variant forms (draft ms, published work, amended edition).

Format: Papers should be either 20 or 45 minutes long to fit into half-hour or hour slots with time for questions or discussion. There may also be scope to accommodate a number of short 10-minute presentations. It is intended that there will be two morning sessions and one afternoon session. Please send the title, a short summary/abstract and the intended length to Ian Collier, the Education Secretary, as soon as possible. e-mail: edsec@tolkiensociety.org

Registration Costs:
Tolkien Society members: £20.00
Non-members: £23.00

The registration fee covers attendance at the seminar, and morning and afternoon tea and coffee. The closing date for registration is 13th June, however spaces are limited so to secure your place please book early.
