hrjThe Worldcon programming schedule is out and I'm on a number of interesting panels.
Wed Aug 13 - Horrible Histories: A Way to Make Learning about History Fun (Room 343-344)
A discussion about shows, podcasts, and other media that help make learning about history fun. After all, it isn’t just lists of numbers and names! How do you take that dry text and make it engaging enough to reach an audience that isn’t necessarily interested in history?
Thu Aug 14 - Medieval Characters—Women Authors (Room 420-422)
A look at the legacy and influence of Marjorie Kemp, Christine de Pisan, Marie de France, Hildegard of Bingen, the anchorite Julian of Norwich, and more. Their works continue to have relevance today.
Fri Aug 15 - Conlangs 101: How to Get Started Making Your Own Language (Room 322)
Building language goes beyond just putting funny sounds together or making a word that looks cool. Learn what’s needed to make a basic constructed language and how to find the resources and tools to get started in language creation.
Plus autographing on Fri Aug 15 at noon, a (limited attendance) table talk on Sun Aug 17 at 9am and...
Hugo Awards Ceremony - Sat Aug 16 (time TBA) where I will be trying not to chew too hard on my fingernails as I wait for the Best Related Work category to come up.
