Neurodivergent Middle-earth

Anna Milon, Education Secretary of the Tolkien Society will be joining us to give her talk, Neurodivergent Middle-earth:

Existing scholarship on Tolkien and mental health has largely focused on the aftermath of trauma or the idea that the characters in question are terribly ill and need either curing or isolating from society. In this talk, Anna Milon invites you to challenge this reductive view of mental health and explore possible neuro-divergence that does not hamper the adventures of our favourite LotR characters.
