TV Fangdom, a conference on television vampires, takes place on June 7-8 at the
University of Northampton. Although not exactly in the vein of this blog, there are a couple of talks on the programme that could be interesting and fun to listen to, like
Zhana Popova from the University of Sofia on
Vampires among Housewives and Mothers in Post-totalitarian Bulgaria and
Maria Mellins from St Mary's University College on
Fangtasia London: The True Blood Franchise and Vampire Lifestyle. More information on the
conference website.
According to Dr. Lorna Jowett from the University of Northampton, who teaches horror and vampire fiction,
'The TV Fangdom conference aims to put the university on the map as a location where exciting media research is happening, to encourage research in all areas of television studies. We want to demonstrate to our own students, at all levels, that we have a dynamic research community and environment.'
Thanks to
Jordi Ardanuy for mentioning the conference.
