Hi everyone,
Something a bit different for you all this morning! My name is Dr Mike Ryder and I’m a lecturer based at Lancaster University ( UK). My colleagues and I are planning to put on what we believe to be the world’s first Warhammer-related academic conference later this year, to take place at Heidelberg University (Germany). The event will be hybrid, so speakers (and other delegates) can also attend online.
If you are an academic / independent scholar with an interest in Warhammer and the grim darkness of the far future then we’d love to hear from you!
Our call for papers is now live on our website: www.warhammer-conference.com
The deadline for submissions is 31st July 2024.

Sneak? Bah. No one bothers with that extra step now. Automatically Appended Next Post: MJRyder wrote:Hi everyone,

I wish you good fortune in the (academic) wars to come. It's a GoT reference but applicable nonetheless and I do wish you success in the endeavor. While I do not know (nor frankly care about) your personal politics nor that of the other people organizing the conference, I do think that the success of the conference will in large part be reliant on how well you keep the overtly modern day political out of the conference's topics as the central focus. I'm not saying it can't be discussed but rather that it's shouldn't be a one sided echo chamber.

Heh, I know one of your organizing colleagues from other conferences ^^ Is this part of the Heidelberg Apocalypse Studies project, then? Guess I'll be submitting something, have enough half-baked ideas on grimdark theory that I should try to articulate eventually

Nice. Keep us updated as I would love to watch some of the content live online, even though I am not an academic per se.

This would be excellent. I wonder if I can swing it with work that I have to go to Germany around this time..

Is this in person only or might presenting online be a possibility? I'm a professional philosopher who is currently between contracts, don't have the funds to travel to Germany. I have previously thought about how various aspects of 40k (warp, tyrranids, chaos) relate to philosophy of mind.
Also, it might be worth posting this on the main philosophy mailing list, the Philos L mailing list ( https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/philosophy/philos-l/).

This sounds absolutely awesome. I'll think about attending digitally and possibly submitting an abstract!

There are some connections with the Heidelberg Apocalypse Studies project, yes. I'm not connected with it myself, but it just so happens that a few of our members are involved with it. What a small world it is! You're more than welcome to submit a paper. We're really excited to see what people come up with!

Will do! Our hope is that we can make it all available to non-academics as well. We are certainly also opening up attending to those who aren't presenting as the aim is to hopefully start up a bit of a community around this.

Thanks so much for your message. Yes indeed, it is open up to presenting online. In the submission form you can select your preferences (online, in person, or either). The philosophy of mind is perfect fit for 40k I think. The whole chaos-gods as reflections of the psyche is such an interesting area.
Thanks also for sharing the mailing list. I admit, I hadn't heard of it before, and I have a lot of contacts at Liverpool!
