Athrabeth presents: Tolkien and New Media

From social networking to blogs, podcasts, YouTube, and even fan fiction, New Media connects us all. This panel explores how New Media has changed the way in which people engage with the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Drawing on their experience as Tolkien scholars and content creators, our distinguished panelists will share their experiences creating Tolkien content, discuss trends in the field, and explore where Tolkien engagement may be headed in the future and what that means for Tolkien scholarship.

Please join us for a lively chat and Q & A!

This session is presented by Athrabeth, a podcast exploring Tolkien’s lesser-trod paths in thematic monthly episodes.

Panelists include:
Marcel R. Bülles, a.k.a. The Tolkienist: Tolkien scholar and founder of the German Tolkien Society.
Mercury Natis, Queer historian and Tolkien scholar.
Jude Vais, Tolkien scholar and co-host of the Athrabeth podcast.
