Really Big News and Zombies

On 6 January I wrote a post called “Big News and Zombies” about a medieval symposium being held later this year. Well, I read, researched, wrote, edited, wrote again, changed my mind, started from the beginning and at last handed in a proposal for the theme “Mortality and Imagination: The Life of the Dead in the Middle Ages andRenaissance”.

This week I heard that “The Walking Dead of Fróðá” has been accepted! (Did happy dance and had a celebratory coffee, of course.)

So, in the next couple of months (the conference is at the end of August) I will be working full-speed ahead on this as well to try and get it perfect (and short enough to fit into 20 minutes).

But, for now, I can tick off one task from my “Finish Year” list and stare at the beautiful pictures of Mont Fleur, where the conference will be held.
