Archipelacon 2 Academic Track: the Fafnir Anniversary Symposium
The 2025 academic track of Archipelacon 2 celebrates the ongoing success of Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research. Celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2024, the venerable dragon’s anniversary symposium consists of talks from scholar attendees. We ask the invitees to suggest their own favourite topic, be it an ongoing research interest, a past scholarly highlight, or a complete sidetrack in their work as a scholar of all things SF, broadly understood.
In case you have not received a personal invitation but are planning to attend Archipelacon 2 and are interested in presenting in the academic track, please contact us at academic@archipelacon.org! Invitations have been sent to attending scholars based on the public record of con-members, and as such some unintended omissions may well have occurred.
The deadline for abstracts (incl. 100-word bio-note, a title, and a 300-word abstract for a 30-minute presentation) is May 4, and the final programme of the symposium will be published after that date. Note that con membership is mandatory for all attendees of the symposium.
Join us in celebrating Fafnir in June!
The academic track is organized by FinFar and coordinated by co-chairs Elise Kraatila, Markus Laukkanen & Esko Suoranta
