Setting aside important Finrod differences to agree with Jude here. You can’t write an article on the “ethics” of AI and ignore the unresolved environmental issues, and certainly NOT in a Tolkien publication (to say nothing of supporting a tech company complicit in genocide)

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money, emissions, pollution, noise etc. Choices. Simple.
Graphic showing a 9 m wide track for metros can move as many people as a 175 m wide, 7 lane road for cars.

The EDID Committee of the CSM/SCM invites papers on Indigeneity and the medieval. It has been over a decade since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released their report and 94 Calls to Action. Academia was called to decolonize, reconcile, and Indigenize their apporach to research, scholarship, and the classroom. This panel builds on conversations from the 2025 International Congress of Medieval Studies' "Slow Engagement" Roundtable, which asked medieval scholars to consider how they've
'slowed down' to be responsible and reciprocal in their learning, approaching, or engaging with Indigenous Studies.

PAPERS MIGHT CONSIDER:
• How can we respectfully and appropriately engage with Indigenous methodologies in our approaches to medieval studies?
• How have indigenous communities responded to, engaged with, subverted, or appropriated medieval studies or medievalism?
• What do personal and/or scholarly engagements with Indigenous communities, identities, and Knowledge Keepers look like for diffferent medievalists, and what has been learned from such engagements?
• What has been the impact of colonialism on the discipline of medieval studies? Alternately, how have medieval studies been an essential tool in colonialism?

Presentations may be in either English or French and should be 15-20 minutes in length. Please submit proposals by email by January 5, 2026. For inquiries or proposal submissions, please contact
