Take a guided tour with author Laura through Norse mythology & the historical Viking era, how we've interpreted them differently down the centuries, & how we borrow from it in today's pop culture.
Description:
The Vikings are having a moment in modern pop culture, what with Thor: Ragnarok, Neil Gaiman's book, and more. But much of what we see in modern interpretations is far departed from the original mythos. Join the author of The Songweaver's Vow for an overview of the historical Viking era, what we really know -- and don't know -- of Norse mythology, and how these ancient stories are still being told today.

Paladins in Petticoats: Lolita Fashion in Nerd Spaces
Summary:
Lolita is a popular, extremely feminine Japanese fashion that evokes the Rococo era. It's often misunderstood in the West, especially when one is both a Lolita & a nerd. So what is it, exactly?
Description:
A mix of "what is lolita" and "how does it apply to me", this seminar will cover lolita 101, the history of the fashion, the different substyles, and why you probably shouldn't treat your local lolita like your personal paper doll (though you should definitely make friends with us). There will be ample time for questions and exploration of an outfit, or coordinate, at the end.
