There’s an exciting, experimental conference coming up this September at the University of Northampton, England. Featuring the legendary graphic novel author Alan Moore, the Crowley-biographer Richard Kaczynski, and the specialist of modern occultism and art Marco Pasi as keynote speakers, Trans-States is looking to be a very interesting trans-disciplinary event.
The call for papers is open until March 20. But beware: it is not just another academic conference, so the powerpoint with paper that is too long to read in 20 minutes is not the only possible medium:

As such joint proposals, collaborations, practitioner-based activities, pre-formed panels and performances are very welcome, as well as individual submissions and papers. We also welcome short film screenings; installations; visually interactive talks and workshops. “
I expect the ESSWE Board to do a collective dance interpretation of the recent theoretical debate in the field…

On a side note, ESSWE just awarded a small grant to this conference under their new Sponsorship Programme for Independent Scholarly Initiatives.
