As
with the series, many questions remain unanswered:
Who will be the featured speakers?
Don't know yet, but we certainly hope we can arrange for major people--Darlton?
Matthew Fox? Terry O'Quinn? Michael Emerson?--to attend.
What kinds of papers will be presented?
In addition to invited keynotes from major figures in "LOST Studies" (suggestions welcome), a CFP will solicit conference
presentations on every aspect of LOST.
Will papers given at the conference be
published? That's the plan. The Sopranos Wake, co-convened by
David Lavery resulted in The
Essential Sopranos Reader,
forthcoming from U P Kentucky.
Who will sponsor the conference?
We are
open to all kinds of possibilities, including multiple sponsorships.
