I thought I'd have an awards ceremony (purely subjective of course) based on the papers that were at the Congress.
The Why is this at a Medieval Conference Award:
(Tie) Kristine Larsen 'Teaching Tokien in Science Classes' and George Ruckman's 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Xbox'. Runner up: Florence Marsal's 'The Ambiguous Legacy of Merlin in the Harry Potter Book and Film series'.
This isn't a paper - It's stalking:
Laurence S.Creider's 'The Web Presence of Kalamazoo Participants'...[This guy isn't going to be a laugh in real life is he...]
Worst Session Title:
"Will the "Reel" Beowulf Please Stand Up? Representations of the Beowulf Story on Electronic Multimedia" [Basically, "Beowulf on Wikipedia"]
Queerest Paper:
Tison Pugh's 'From Boys to Men to Hermaphrodites to Eunuchs: Queer Formations of Romance Masculinity and the Hagiographic Death Drive in Amis and Amiloun'. Runner up: Madeline H.Caviness's 'Queering the Code: Jesus and Mary or Jesus and John?'
Best/Worst use of Brackets in a Paper Title: Angela Sucich's 'Becoming m(O)thers, Becoming (hu)mans Engendering Hybrids and Monsters in Two Medieval Romances'.
Best institution: Kirstie Buckland -The Knitting History Forum.
