    #SignumUniversity and the #MythgardInstitute invite you to join us on October 19 for New England Moot 2024.

  6. #CallForPapers for Anthology: #Batman... Also Starring

    Many #academic texts focus on Batman as a cultural figure in comics as well as in #films, #television programs, and video #games. However, like all great superheroes, Batman is as much defined by his supporting cast as he is by his costume, abilities or origin. While there is no shortage of scholarship devoted to his most famous sidekicks and his most popular villains, little critical attention has been paid to the majority of his cast.

  9. #CallForPapers: Dying of Laughter: Horror Spoofs and Parodies

    The collection will be the first to provide a sustained interrogation of the relationship between parodies/spoofs and the #horror genre, exploring an underdiscussed but significant part of the genre corpus. It will bring together writing on major canonical spoofs and underdiscussed films, as well as expanding the scholarly writing on horror #spoofs into non-Hollywood and non-Anglophone films and other forms of media.

  16. Many thanks to The Honorable Kavura of #StarPodLog for this in-depth review of our anthology STAR TREK: ESSAYS EXPLORING THE FINAL FRONTIER! :vulcan_hmn_g1:

    “I found each essay to be extremely informative and thought-provoking, much in the spirit of Star Trek itself…. This is the type of book that celebrates the best of what Star Trek has to offer: compelling issues about people, history, and culture.”
