On behalf of Thomas Rowland, here is a call for papers that may be of interest to many medievalism-ists!
CFP: Biennial Conference of the International Association for Robin Hood Studies
October 18-21, 2023
Missouri Valley College, Marshall, MO
The 2023 Conference will be hybridized to allow for more participants to join!
Robots, Androids, and Outlaws: How Machines and Bandits Disrupt Social Order
The International Association for Robin Hood Studies Biennial Conference will be held at Missouri Valley College (Marshall, MO) in October 2023. This conference brings together scholars to present current research on the famous outlaw as he appears in both medieval and post-medieval media.
This conference will focus on (but not exclusively) discussions of Robin Hood and machine culture, with special emphasis on AI as a Robin Hood-like disrupter, banditry from robots and machines, and Robin as a subverter of social norms and expectations. We anticipate that this theme will allow us to address both traditional Robin Hood subjects and current changes happening in academic culture. Everyone interested are invited to submit paper proposals on this topic or any other topic related to Robin Hood. Please send a 500-word abstract to Dr. Thomas Rowland at rowlandt@moval.edu. For those who would like to submit a session proposal, please submit an abstract description of the session topic and preferably three to four presenters. Please include with your proposal your name, paper title, and affiliation (if any).
All proposals will be due by September 1, 2023.
Please be welcome to share this CFP with others!
