NET 2024 Call for Workshop Proposals
Hail All! The Workshop Committee at Northeast Thing invites interested participants to submit proposals for workshops relevant to the practice of historical and modern Heathenry at our 2024 event.
Workshops at NET run the gamut from scholarly presentations, to hands-on practical skills-based experiences, and everything in between. We welcome proposals on any topic related to Heathen religion, magic, or related cultural practices. Workshop slots are generally an hour long, although we are currently also considering shorter presentations that might be grouped together as part of a thematic panel.
Given the longstanding history of ECT/NET, and the influx of new attendees, we are also inviting past presenters to “dust off” presentations they may have given in previous years for a new audience (or an old audience who wants to re-experience the classics). We’re calling this “NET Remix” and invite resubmissions of past offerings – whether tried and true, or re-envisioned given new developments in scholarship or changes in technology or technique.
In an effort to maintain rigor and acumen, we ask that proposals with a scholarly bent include a sample bibliography, or other evidence that the presentation has solid grounding in reputable and relevant scholarship.
Those who wish to submit a proposal should send a one paragraph synopsis/description of the workshop to the NET Workshops committee, who will evaluate it and respond accordingly. If you have particular time constraints (arriving on a particular day, can’t do mornings, can’t do evenings, etc.) please indicate these in your proposal as well. As our community is family focused, and we want to make workshops available and amenable to those who might be caring for small children – please indicate whether your workshop/presentation would be appropriate for all ages, and whether the presence of infants, toddlers, bored teenagers, and the like would be welcome.
So if you want to offer a workshop please send the following via e-mail:
- Your name (the name by which you’d like to be referred on the website and in printed materials
- Any titles if relevant (Ph.D, M.A., Godhi, etc)
- Kindred or Organizational Affiliation if relevant
- Title of the Workshop/Presentation
- One paragraph workshop description (which should be worded to also serve as a description on the NET website and in printed materials distributed at the event)
- Short relevant biography which will also be included on the event website
The Workshops Committee will collectively review your proposal and respond with acceptance, rejection, or suggestions for editing if necessary. Though there is no guarantee of acceptance, we welcome all appropriate submissions.
Please e-mail proposals to NortheastThingWorkshops@gmail.com.
