Apologies if this appears twice. I tried to post it yesterday but did not see it show up. MB *CFP: Commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of Lord of the Rings (The Mithril Turtle)* 2014 is the sixtieth anniversary of *Lord of the Rings*. The Mithril Turtle is the University of Maryland College Park’s commemoration of this important literary and cultural milestone. A variety of events are planned for September 1 – October 17, 2014. Among these is an interdisciplinary discussion series. Tolkien's created world is realistically and compellingly realized, making it ideal for creative exploration of a wide range of disciplines. We invite proposals that use the lens of *Lord of the Rings* and Middle-earth to focus attention upon cutting edge research and scholarship. Topics might include (but are not limited to): · Mithril and Materials Science: How close are we? [Materials Science] · Does formal education exist in Middle-earth? [Higher Education] · Tolkien as poet [Literature] · Jackson’s films or other adaptations [Film Studies] · Middle-earth, Tolkien, and the internet [Media and Pop Culture Studies] · Tolkien’s contemporary art world and its influence on his art [Art] · Tolkien-inspired artists and artwork [Contemporary Art] · Tolkien’s cartography and medieval maps [Geography] · Would Aragorn need an EPA? Land use in Middle-earth [Ecology, Public Policy] · The economy of Middle-earth [Business and Economics] · Tolkien’s medieval sources [History] · Tolkien’s invented languages [Linguistics] · Hobbit holes and earth homes: energy efficiency in Middle-earth [Architecture] · Shelob, balrogs, and giant eagles: physiology in Middle-earth [Biology] Short proposals (~one page) are welcome. For best consideration, send materials to Michelle Markey Butler (mbutler5@umd.edu) by July 20, 2014. For more information about the LOTR Research Discussion Series, possible topics, or the Mithril Turtle event schedule, see mithrilturtle.umd.edu. Or contact Michelle Markey Butler (mbutler5@umd.edu).
