SUMMARY:Snarkapalooza
DESCRIPTION:Join this Webinar on March 29. \n\n\n\nNoon Pacific / 3:00 PM Eastern / 8:00 PM UK \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin us as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of The Hunting of the Snark with entertaining and enlightening talks\, plus some surprises! Pre-show starts a half hour before showtime. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeed to review some Snark basics? Or maybe you just can’t get enough Snark! Either way\, tune in 30 minutes before our official start time for a fairly-faithful\, 19-minute animated adaptation of THOTS\, plus some Snark-inspired music. After which\, our presenters will be ready to charm you with smiles and soap. ADDENDUM MARCH 29: We’ve got a late-breaking addition to the Snarkapalooza! Music icon Mike Batt will be leading us off. Please see the revised schedule below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nView the Snarkapalooza program for complete info on your presenters and talks. \n\n\n\nComic book creator Macy Grove – Playing in Nonsense: The Joy of Adapting T.H.O.T.S. \n\n\n\nMacy shares her adventure from first encountering the poem to imagining variations and subplots and creating the visual world of characters and creatures. She’ll discuss how the self-published project came to life with the help of artists\, friends\, family—and a healthy dose of creative bumbling\, incidental discoveries\, and fortunate accidents. \n\n\n\n2024 Wonderland Award Winner Elijah Granet – Snark Raving Mad: Law in “The Barrister’s Fit” \n\n\n\nAmidst the delightful silliness and nonsense in the Barrister’s Fit\, Carroll included a lot more legal truth than many readers might realize. In the wild world of English legal history\, ometimes the funniest absurdities are the actual state of the law! From pigs committing crimes to sleeping judges\, this talk discusses how English law is as satirical in reality as in Snark. \n\n\n\nIllustrator & Writer David Elliot – Beyond the Tulgey Wood \n\n\n\nThe imaginative wanderings of both writers and illustrators often extend far beyond the confines of their published works. David Elliot attempts to deconstruct the greater world of The Hunting of the Snark and explores alternative mechanisms for its depiction. Followed by Q&A with Snarkologist editor Dayna Nuhn. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Your Speakers \n\n\n\nMacy Grove (she/her) rediscovered her love of Lewis Carroll’s poetry after receiving Jabberwocky and other Nonsense Poems as a gift. She quickly became captivated by The Hunting of the Snark and set out to bring the story— and the images it sparked in her imagination— to life\, leading to the creation of Macy Grove Comics. She lives on the Olympic Peninsula with her loving spouse and three loyal hounds. She can be found hunting her Snark in the mountains and on the sea—reliably meeting\, traveling\, and adventuring with some of the most interesting and enjoyable characters one could ever hope to know. \n\n\n\nElijah Granet is an attorney at the Colorado bar\, with law degrees from England and the US\, as well as the editor of Legal Style Blog. He is also admitted to practice law in the British Antarctic Territory\, so please send any penguin clients his way. Elijah was the winner of the University of California’s Wonderland Award in 2024. \n\n\n\nDavid Elliot is an internationally recognized writer and illustrator for children. He has provided illustrations for bestselling authors in the UK and USA (most notably Brian Jacques’ Redwall series). David’s relationship with Lewis Carroll’s Hunting of the Snark dates back to his schooldays. This is manifest in two significant publications\, the hand-printed Hunting of the Snark (Otakau Private Press) and his own Snark\, Being a True History of the Expedition that Discovered the Snark and the Jabberwock and Its Tragic Aftermath (University of Otago Press). Both books have been well-received within and beyond the Carrollian communities around the world\, Snark winning the New Zealand Childrens literature Book of the Year in 2014. David lives in Port Chalmers\, a small harbour settlement in New Zealand’s deep south. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout Your Hosts \n\n\n\nHeather Simmons is the LCSNA virtual events chair and creator of the website/podcast Alice Is Everywhere. \n\n\n\nDayna Nuhn is the editor of The Snarkologist and a frequent LCSNA contributor. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n“What I tell you three times is true.” \n\n\n\n-The Bellman

SUMMARY:LCSNA Grant Recipient Yunshu Qiu
DESCRIPTION:Watch Across the Atlantic and What I Found There on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAcross the Atlantic and What I Found There: The Chinese Translations of the Alice books in Two American Archives presented by Yunshu Qiu \n\n\n\nPartly funded by the Stan Marx Fund of the LCSNA\, I visited two major archives in the United States last summer: the Bancroft Library at the University of California\, Berkeley\, and the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas\, Austin. Both archives hold extensive materials relating to the Chinese translations and adaptations of the Alice books.  \n\n\n\nThe Bancroft Library houses the papers of Yuen Ren Chao 趙元任\, the first Chinese translator of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Had the Shanghai publishing house not been bombed by the Japanese army\, he would also have published the second Chinese translation of Through the Looking-Glass. After moving to the United States in the 1940s and later becoming Professor of Chinese Linguistics at UC Berkeley\, Chao donated his papers to the Bancroft after retirement. The archive contains his personal and professional correspondence\, research files\, manuscripts\, teaching materials\, and personal documents. It preserves a wealth of Alice-related materials\, particularly his multiple versions of the translation of Through the Looking-Glass produced across forty years.  \n\n\n\nThe Harry Ransom Center holds three Alice-related collections: the Charles Lutwidge Dodgson Collection\, the Byron W. Sewell and Susan R. Sewell Collection of Lewis Carroll\, and the Warren Weaver Collection. Although the first two collections are valuable and illuminating\, the Warren Weaver Collection is especially significant for my research\, as it includes several early Chinese translations and adaptations of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.  \n\n\n\nThis presentation will highlight my findings from these two archives and offer some preliminary reflections on their implications for my study of Chinese Alice translations. \n\n\n\nYunshu Qiu is a PhD candidate in Comparative Literatures and Cultures at the University of Bristol (England\, UK). She was awarded an LCSNA grant from the Stan Marx Fund to support archival research at the University of California\, Berkeley and the University of Texas at Austin on “Through Eurasia and What Alice Found There: the Early Chinese Translation and Reception of Lewis Carroll’s Alice Books.”

SUMMARY:LCSNA Fall 2025 Conference
DESCRIPTION:Watch the conference videos on YouTube \n\n\n\nWatch The Wonderland Concert video on YouTube \n\n\n\nThe Lewis Carroll Society of North America invites you to its Fall Conference 2025 in Winston-Salem\, NC—a weekend filled with Carrollian talks\, camaraderie\, curiosities\, and lively in-person activities. This special gathering marks the LCSNA’s 100th meeting\, making it an especially memorable occasion. Whether you’re a longtime member or newly curious\, join us for engaging presentations\, hands-on events\, and a joyful celebration of all things Carroll. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFULL CONFERENCE PROGRAM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n       CONFERENCE TICKETS      \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeeting Venue.  The conference will be held at the Hanesbrands Theatre\, a premier black-box performance venue in downtown Winston-Salem\, NC\, operated by the Arts Council of Winston-Salem & Forsyth County. \n\n\n\n\nGetting to Winston-Salem\n\n\n\nThe most convenient airport for traveling to Winston-Salem is Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) in Greensboro. It’s a small\, easy-to-navigate airport located just about 20 minutes from the recommended downtown hotels. \n\n\n\nIf you’re looking for more flight options or economical fares\, consider flying into either Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) or Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT). Both are major airports approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes away by car\, with straightforward access via major highways. \n\n\n\nOne helpful tip when driving into Winston-Salem from the east: be sure to take Salem Parkway (US-421) when it splits from I-40. This route leads directly into the heart of downtown and avoids unnecessary detours. \n\n\n\nPlaces to Stay\n\n\n\nMost of the weekend will be centered in downtown Winston-Salem. The venues you will want to be near are Hanesbrands Theater at 209 North Spruce Street at Second\, Bookmarks at 634 West Fourth Street\, and a/perture cinema at 311 West Fourth Street. Other venues (croquet on Friday\, socializing on Saturday night and Sunday morning) will require a rideshare or a car. There are many restaurants\, coffee shops\, bakeries\, and bars in the downtown district as well. \n\n\n\nWe recommendCourtyard by MarriottOn the west side of downtown\, at 640 West Fourth Street next to Bookmarks\, this mid-priced Marriott offering is much newer than the Fifth Street Marriott and has parking. This would be a very convenient and satisfactory location for the weekend events.Hampton Inn & SuitesCentrally located at 235 North Cherry Street\, at Third\, this Hilton property is\, like the Courtyard by Marriott\, much newer than its pricier big brother on Fifth Street. \n\n\n\nTwo options that would be more upscaleThe Kimpton Cardinal HotelThis is the former R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. headquarters\, a gorgeous Art Deco building\, finished in 1929 as an architectural sketch for the Empire State Building. It is now a high-end luxury hotel\, on the east side of downtown\, at 51 East Fourth Street with the entrance on Main Street\, with a restaurant in the lobby and valet parking. Intrigued visitors may want to visit the lobby or restaurant rather than stay there.Hotel IndigoLike all Hotel Indigos\, this is an historic building that has become a hotel. The former Pepper Building\, at 104 West Fourth Street\, is now a very nice hotel with a restaurant and valet parking\, located on Fourth Street downtown. \n\n\n\nTwo standard convention hotelsEmbassy Suites by Hilton and Winston-Salem MarriottThese two hotel towers cater to visitors to the convention center (where we will not be meeting) and have the features one would expect. They are on the corners of Fifth Street and Cherry Street on the north side of downtown and have been there since the 80s. \n\n\n\nThree inns that are in historic buildingsThe Brookstown InnThis historic 1837 mill building at 200 Brookstown Avenue is now an inn. It is not as close to the events\, but is possible for downtown walking\, and is close to the Old Salem area and across the street from a good bakery and a couple of dining options.The Shaffner Inn and the Summit Street InnsThese three historic houses are managed together. The Shaffner Inn is on the south edge of downtown at 150 South Marshall Street. The two houses on Summit Street are side by side at 434 Summit Street and near three good restaurants. They are in the West End\, the historic residential district just west of downtown proper\, but still walkable to downtown\, a 10-minute walk from Bookmarks. \n\n\n\nThere are all the usual options at interstate highway nodes\, but we urge people to stay downtown\, and all of these will be convenient to the events\, restaurants\, etc. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFULL CONFERENCE PROGRAM\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConference Registration\n\n\n\nYour registration fee grants you access to all the exciting events on the schedule—including Saturday lunch\, a sweet Saturday night dessert\, and a delightful Sunday brunch—while also helping cover venue costs. But that’s not all! As part of this special celebration\, you’ll receive a beautifully printed keepsake from Cheshire Cat Press\, five collectible booklets totaling over 100 pages\, a stunning 120-page illustrated exhibition catalogue\, and a variety of other charming commemorative items to remember this milestone event.If you are already a member\, please login before proceeding to get tickets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease select the number of tickets you require before clicking ‘Get Tickets’. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExploring Winston-Salem and Beyond: Local Attractions\, Entertainment\, and Dining Options\n\n\n\nWinston-Salem is a vibrant\, walkable city with much to explore. Be sure to check the full conference program for a curated list of attractions\, activities\, and dining options. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFULL CONFERENCE PROGRAM

SUMMARY:Board Update and Open Discussion Session
DESCRIPTION:12:00 AM Pacific/ 3:00 PM Eastern/ 8:00 PM UK \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the days before Zoom\, the LCSNA held two in-person conferences each year. Board meetings were generally scheduled just prior to those conferences and were open to all members. While relatively few non-Board members attended\, those who did appreciated the opportunity to see the Board at work. \n\n\n\nWhen COVID struck and meetings moved to Zoom\, the Board began meeting more frequently (every 1–2 months). Unfortunately\, it became impractical to conduct regular Board business in open Zoom sessions. However\, we remain committed to keeping our membership informed about the challenges and opportunities facing the Society\, as well as hearing your questions\, concerns\, and ideas. \n\n\n\nAs an experimental solution\, we will hold a members-only open virtual Board update on Saturday\, October 4 at 3:00 pm Eastern Time / 12:00 pm Pacific Time. All current members are invited\, and you will receive the Zoom link directly by email to attend. This will not be a formal working session of the Board. Instead\, we will provide a brief update on the most significant issues the Board has addressed over the past year\, followed by an open session for questions and comments. \n\n\n\nAfter the update\, stay with us for a virtual social hour—a chance to mingle\, chat\, and connect with fellow Carrollians. Since this will be a standard Zoom meeting\, you’ll be able to interact directly\, and the transition to the social hour will be seamless. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Lewis Carroll With The Beatles
DESCRIPTION:Watch Lewis Carroll With The Beatles on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDid you know that the principal songwriters of the most famous band in the world have both credited Lewis Carroll\, on multiple occasions\, as a source of inspiration? Join Nick Coates\, creator of Alice and the Eggmen\, as he explores countless connections\, from the concrete to the ethereal\, between John\, Paul\, George\, Ringo and Lewis. Nick will engage with your Beatles hobbyist host Heather\, AKA Alice Is Everywhere\, for a lively discussion of all things fab and frabjous.  \n\n\n\nAbout Your Presenter: Having narrowly escaped academia\, Nick stumbled into consulting and now helps airlines and biscuit brands make products their customers actually want. Alice is a side-hustle obsession alongside collecting instruments (and cats\, of which he has nine!). He contributed to Alice Through the Looking-Glass: A Companion and blogs weekly about Lewis Carroll and The Beatles.

SUMMARY:Carroll en Francais
DESCRIPTION:Watch Carroll en Francais on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us as Justine Houyaux and Douglas Kibbee explore French translations of Lewis Carroll’s works. \n\n\n\nSurrealice-Adjacent: Three French Translators of Carroll in the Interwar Period with Justine Houyaux \n\n\n\nAfter a brief contextualisation of the French reception (or lack thereof) of Lewis Carroll’s works\, we will look into three of his translators of the late 1920s/early 1930s: Louis Aragon (1897-1982)\, Marie-Madeleine Fayet (1893-1963)\, and René Bour (1908-1934) through their translations of The Hunting of the Snark\, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There in order to discover what they had in common\, and what they set them apart from each other— and from subsequent French translators. \n\n\n\nJustine Houyaux is a PhD student at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Translation and Interpreting Studies (CIRTI) at ULiège (Belgium) whose work focuses on the cultural elements in the French translations of Alice. Her latest work\, Alice au Pays des merveilles\, traduction et illustrations de René Bour (2023)is a new edition of Bour’s Carrollian endeavour (1937)\, presented together with the first-ever biography of the artist. \n\n\n\nMore curiouser and more curiouser! with Douglas Kibbee \n\n\n\n“Lewis Carroll is untranslatable\, and everywhere he has been translated” quipped Peter Rickard\, a British scholar\, back in 1975. At that point he identified sixteen translations of Alice in Wonderland into French. Now there are at least fifty-one. If translation of ordinary English is difficult\, translating unconventional English is much more difficulter(!). We’ll examine the different rabbit holes followed by French translators in rendering one sentence: “Curiouser and curiouser!” cried Alice (she was so much surprised that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English). Your contributions are welcome! No knowledge of French necessary. \n\n\n\nDouglas Kibbee is professor emeritus of French Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Over the years he has created a corpus of the fifty-one translations\, organized sentence by sentence. He has also written several articles analyzing different aspects of these translations and translated himself folk tales from the Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast).

SUMMARY:Six Impossible Things with Matt Demakos
DESCRIPTION:Watch Six Impossible Things on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIt’s an LCSNA event with a twist: you get to help choose the program! Join Matt Demakos as he discusses a recent research project involving six short videos on different Carrollian topics\, then vote on which videos we’ll watch live! Plus\, Alan Tannenbaum talks about the LCSNA YouTube channel. A sneak preview of your choices: \n\n\n\nThe Carpenter’s Paper Hat: How to Fold and Not to FoldSeveral modern-day publications and videos show how the Carpenter would have folded the paper hat that he wears on his head. But how did Victorians really fold it? Watch\, and learn a bit of history as well. \n\n\n\nLooking-Glass Chess: The Blunders and the BlunderersLooking-Glass chess is indeed strange and many of the moves the characters make are certainly blunders\, that is\, bone-headed\, or outright mad. But not all is as it seems. Some supposed blunders are\, curiously enough\, not blunders at all. Watch and see if you can guess which are which? (You do not have to be a chess expert to understand the commentary.) \n\n\n\nAlice’s Flight from Looking-Glass Castle: An Alternative Ending RevealedDid Carroll have another ending in mind for Looking-Glass? According to the analysis presented here—which scrutinizes the chess\, Carroll’s own text\, and an old lady’s memory—he most certainly did. It also may have been the superior ending. Listen and decide for yourself. \n\n\n\nAbout that Mysterious Prelude in the Alice OperettaIn 1886\, Henry Savile Clark and Walter Slaughter’s Alice in Wonderland was performed on the stage. Did a piece of music\, regulated to a mere prelude in 1887\, once accompany the deleted scene where Alice passes through the Looking-Glass? Listen to the evidence and the music to decide for yourself. (For the first time\, the video presents an actual piece of orchestration once heard by Lewis Carroll.) \n\n\n\nJohn Tenniel’s Method: The Jabberwock ExplainsThe illustration of the Jabberwock is used to explain how John Tenniel created his wood-engraved illustrations for the Alice books. An intentional mistake is made\, however\, during the course of the discussion. Do you have an observant\, sharp\, logical enough mind to spot it? We will let you know. \n\n\n\nWidener’s Lost Wonderland: An Open Letter to the Current OwnerThere are several lost items related to Lewis Carroll that would be as thrill to find\, his lost diaries\, for example. But there is one that gets little press\, namely\, a copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland that once belonged to Joseph E. Widener. It contained forty of Tenniel’s drawings (likely tracings)\, and several letters regarding the book from Carroll and Tenniel\, amongst other things. Will the owner come forward? \n\n\n\nAbout Your Speaker \n\n\n\nMatthew Demakos has been writing about the life and works of Lewis Carroll for over twenty years.  His papers include “Hiawatha Annotating\,” an in-depth look into Carroll’s poem “Hiawatha’s Photographing”; “Alice’s Adventures from Under Ground to Wonderland\,” an exploration into the differences between the two works; “Children through the Ages\,” a study into the true ages of Carroll’s so-called “child-friends”; and “The Authentic Wasp\,” a look into the authorship of “The Wasp in a Wig” episode. \n\n\n\nIn a more comic bent\, yet serious\, Demakos wrote “Alice’s Ups and Downs: A Pedantic Approach to Exactify Ambiguity in Wonderland” and its sequel “Bounding Brooks and Hopping Hedges: Looking-Glass Chess For Beginners.”  The first retells Wonderland with a keen eye on Alice’s ever-changing height\, and the second retells Looking-Glass while scrutinizing the chess moves made by the characters. \n\n\n\nHe has also written on Carroll’s shyness in “Accountably and Unaccountably Shy\,” and has two as-yet unpublished annotated versions of Carroll’s poems “The Walrus and the Carpenter” and “A-sitting on a Gate.” \n\n\n\nHis works on John Tenniel\, include: \n\n\n\n · “Once I Was A Real Turtle: Tenniel’s Post-Publication Drawings and Tracings in the Berg Collection” (Knight Letter\, Spring  and Fall 2018) \n\n\n\n· “Sketch—Trace—Draw: From Tenniel’s Hands to Carroll’s Eyes” (Knight Letter\, Spring and Fall 2020 \n\n\n\n· Cut—Proof—Print: From Tenniel’s Hands to Carroll’s Eyes (a continuation of the above available on the Lewis Carroll Society of North America Website) \n\n\n\n· The Tenniel Letters: Concerning His Drawings for Lewis Carroll’s Alice (proposed title for a work ninety-eight percent complete) \n\n\n\n· Catalogue of Original Drawings\, Tracings and Touched Proofs by Sir John Tenniel Bound in Extra-Illustrated Copies of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass Including Two Frames and Other Various Collections (to be available online)

SUMMARY:Picturing Wonderland with Abelardo Morell
DESCRIPTION:Watch Picturing Wonderland on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for Picturing Wonderland\, with esteemed artist Abelardo Morell in conversation with Diane Waggoner\, curator of photographs at the National Gallery of Art. \n\n\n\n“In 1998\, I made a series of photographs illustrating Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. I designed my images to be situated within a landscape made of books because it struck me that Carroll had linked Wonderland to the idea of discovering imagination by digging deep into the pages of a book… While this photographic work is unavoidably steered and shaded by the eeriness of our present times\, it is largely a product of invention\, imagination and freedom – things needed to make something new out of the old.”  \n\n\n\nAbelardo Morell was born in Havana\, Cuba in 1948. He immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1962. Morell received his undergraduate degree from Bowdoin College and his MFA from The Yale University School of Art. He was professor of Photography at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston from 1983 to 2010. His many publications include a photographic illustration of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1998) by Dutton Children’s Books. His many awards include a Guggenheim fellowship in 1994 and an Infinity Award in Art from ICP in 2011. His work has been collected and shown in countless galleries\, institutions and museums\, including the Museum of Modern Art\, The Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York\, The Chicago Art Institute\, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, The Houston Museum of Art\, The Boston Museum of Fine Art and The Victoria & Albert Museum. \n\n\n\nDiane Waggoner is curator of photographs at the National Gallery of Art\, where she has curated numerous exhibitions\, including The PreRaphaelite Lens: British Photography and Painting\, 1848-1875 and East of the Mississippi: Nineteenth-Century American Landscape Photography. She holds a PhD in art history from Yale University. In 2020\, she published Lewis Carroll’s Photography and Modern Childhood with Princeton University Press. She currently serves on the board of the Lewis Carroll Society of North America.

SUMMARY:Through the Wonderglass: Alice in Science and Medicine\, in the Victorian Age and Beyond 
DESCRIPTION:Watch Through The Wonderglass on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Dr. Franziska Kohlt \n\n\n\nWhen discussing the immensely varied history and legacy of the Alice books\, science has traditionally played a marginal role. But what if I told you that a major way in which the book and its author were understood in its time was through its contributions to public discussions around and understanding of scientific and medical topics? That its author was deeply involved in scientific\, medical\, ecological issues of his time? And that Alice has been since his\, and until our day\, a major vehicle for scientists to communicate mind-bending – as well as unsettling – discoveries in their fields\, and the far-reaching consequences they have on our worlds?   \n\n\n\nThis talk will take you on a journey through the scientific cultural history of the Alice books. Re-examining Carroll’s own engagement with science\, from his childhood reading to his engagement with microscopy\, alongside his literary writing\, one will cast a fresh light on the other. The whistle-stop tour will spotlight tea-parties and their role within the Victorian history of psychiatry\, the presence of microscopes\, magic lanterns and photography in Carroll’s works through Victorian optical culture\, in education and childhood culture. And it will explain the perhaps surprising connections between the centrality of ecology and entomology in Through the Looking-Glass\, and Victorian theories on the science and theology of acting\, in the light of Alice’s stage adaptations.   \n\n\n\nAs well as illuminating the Alice books\, this little-studied history will also illuminate some earlier and later Carroll favourites from Photography Extraordinary\, or Phantasmagoria to Bruno’s Revenge or the enigmatic Wasp in the Wig chapter.   \n\n\n\nLooking finally at the little-known history of Alice in popular science\, in early mentions in\, Alice through the Microscope\, or ephemeral concepts\, such as “Quantum Cheshire Cats” and “Alice in Wonderland Syndrome\,” obvious appearance of Alice as scientific explorer\, as in Alice in Rainforest-land\, or Alice\, the Cat Zeta and Climate Change\, and less obvious\, but all the more significant appearances\, such as Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring\, this talk will show how Alice is as inseparable from the history of Science\, in which she became explorer\, guide\, and questioner – as she is from Wonderland.     \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Your Speaker \n\n\n\nDr. Franziska Kohlt is a Leverhulme Research Fellow in History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Leeds\, where she currently researches the history of public science education in early nineteenth-century Britain. She holds a doctorate from the University of Oxford\, where her DPhil thesis investigated the historical intersections of the history of psychology and psychiatry and the works of Victorian writers of fantastic literature. She is also the Inaugural Carrollian Fellow at the University of Southern California in LA\, where she is currently finishing her book Through the Wonderglass: The Unexpected Histories of a Children’s Classic\, which will appear with Reaktion Press\, into which this talk will give an exclusive preview.

SUMMARY:Presenting Paul Rissmann’s Alice Concert Suites & The Alice Sound Website
DESCRIPTION:Watch The Alice Sound presentation on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis presentation offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes understanding of Paul’s two concert suites based on the Alice books which premiered at the Barbican\, London in 2015 and 2022 respectively. We will briefly outline the genesis of the collaborative project which led to the production of these works aimed at a family audience. Using recordings of the productions\, Paul will then outline the challenges and opportunities involved in this process and the creative solutions (sometimes involving kitchen equipment!) he came up with. Finally\, we will give a brief tour of The Alice Sound website which offers permanent\, free access to Paul’s works and to a rich array of learning resources spanning literature\, music\, art and drama. \n\n\n\nAbout Paul Rissmann \n\n\n\nDescribed by Neue Muzikzeitung as ‘the Jamie Oliver of animateurs’\, Paul enjoys a varied career which includes composing music\, talking about music and inspiring others to make and perform their own music. He currently holds the positions of Animateur with the London Symphony Orchestra and Children’s Composer in Residence for Music in the Round. \n\n\n\nPaul is a passionate music educationist whose projects has been acclaimed by the Royal Philharmonic Society and Royal Television Society. In 2014\, he appeared as creative director in a Channel 4 documentary Addicts’ Symphony\, which explored how music can be therapeutic in overcoming addiction. \n\n\n\nFrequently commissioned to transform children’s literature into symphonic scores\, Paul won a British Composer Award in 2012 and was nominated for an Ivor Novello Composer Award in 2020. His music has been commissioned and performed by orchestras all over the world\, including the London Symphony Orchestra\, New York Philharmonic\, West Australian Symphony Orchestra and Scottish Chamber Orchestra. \n\n\n\nPaul creates and performs bespoke orchestral events for people of all ages which range from full-scale concerts for the under-5s to a critically acclaimed series of music discovery concerts for adults called Naked Classics. He has guest-presented Classics Unwrapped and Inside Music for BBC Radio\, dissected the world of opera for Glyndebourne in Behind the Curtain and performed a series of open-air classical concerts with the LSO in London’s Trafalgar Square. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Kiera Vaclavik \n\n\n\nKiera Vaclavik is Professor of Children’s Literature and Childhood Culture at Queen Mary University of London. Kiera’s research centers on children’s literature and childhood culture from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day\, with a particular focus on Victorian works and their afterlives. Her project exploring the Alice books in relation to fashion and dress was supported by a 24-month AHRC fellowship and led to outputs including a fabric collection with Liberty\, London\, “The Alice Look” exhibition at the V&A Museum of Childhood which she curated (2015)\, and the monograph\, Fashioning Alice: The Career of Lewis Carroll’s Icon\, 1860-1901 (Bloomsbury\, 2019). Her most recent work on Carroll explores the long and fascinating tradition of male performance of Alice’s role\, as well as the sonic dimension of his Alice books.

SUMMARY:JOB-erwocky: Making (Non)Sense of the World
DESCRIPTION:Noon Pacific Time / 3:00 Eastern Time / 8:00 PM UK \n\n\n\nWatch this presentation on nonce formation on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe biblical book of Job is written in a unique dialect of ancient Hebrew\, containing way more word coinage than any other book in the Bible. This early nonsense poetry employs nonce formation in a way that often parallels Lewis Carroll\, and often shares the same purpose. \n\n\n\nAbout Ryan Armstrong\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\nDr. Armstrong makes use of his broad expertise to place rigorous philological scholarship of the Hebrew Bible in conversation with voices throughout history. From medieval rabbis to Christian reformers and Enlightenment artists\, interpreters are emotionally invested in the words of the Bible. By understanding how diverse communities have related to these ancient texts\, Armstrong uncovers ways for modern readers to relate to them. His recent work looks at the Book of Job with insights gained from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, as it features debates between zany characters who describe the world through nonsensical poems that are full of nonce words. Take scholarly adventures with him on his YouTube channel\, Bible and Culture with Dr. Armstrong!

SUMMARY:Protests in Wonderland and The Wizard of Uz: We Don’t Need No Education
DESCRIPTION:Noon Pacific Time / 3:00 PM Eastern Time / 8:00 PM UK \n\n\n\nWatch this talk comparing Alice in Wonderland and the Book of Job on YouTube \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe biblical book of Job and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland are both written to make fun of overly confident religious leaders in their day who are way too eager to make meaning out of nonsense and find a moral lesson in chaos. Both books use similar plot devices\, literary techniques\, and jokes to drive this point home. \n\n\n\nAbout Ryan Armstrong\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\nDr. Armstrong makes use of his broad expertise to place rigorous philological scholarship of the Hebrew Bible in conversation with voices throughout history. From medieval rabbis to Christian reformers and Enlightenment artists\, interpreters are emotionally invested in the words of the Bible. By understanding how diverse communities have related to these ancient texts\, Armstrong uncovers ways for modern readers to relate to them. His recent work looks at the Book of Job with insights gained from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland\, as it features debates between zany characters who describe the world through nonsensical poems that are full of nonce words. Take scholarly adventures with him on his YouTube channel\, Bible and Culture with Dr. Armstrong!
