The Swarming SDCC project is wrapping up soon, and to celebrate its conclusion and help us imagine next steps for this program of research, we’re holding a little symposium in Toronto next February. Abstracts are due Sept. 8, 2025.
We hope a diverse range of scholars interested in media-oriented live events, whether they’re traditionally “fannish” or not, will join us for a rich, engaging conversation about how events and their organizers mediate between media industries and audiences. Accepted papers will also be considered for inclusion in an edited collection.
