Didn't tweet the first panel today, because my multitasking skills are not up to tweeting a panel I'm also on. Second panel is "'Disco 2000': Digital Legends" #ISCLR23

Ooooooo. I (@PerryCarpenter) am an absolute X-Files fanboy. My wife and I used to have a “do not call us while the X-Files is on” rule that we were sure to let our friends family know. Calls would be unanswered or answered extremely rudely!

When it comes to legends of origin for Pushmataha, there is a noted absence of oral traditions (when it comes to what we have available to us today). This is not the case when it comes to legends of death. #ISCLR23

In 1982 a series of seminars/conferences on contemporary legend began here in Sheffield, leading to the birth of ISCLR. We'll have a panel looking back at the beginning on Friday. #ISCLR23

Thomas points out the problems with confirmation bias in conspiracy theories, we tend to gravitate to conspiracy theories that reenforce what we already believe. #ISCLR22 #ISCLR2022

John getting reflective and reflexive about his own background as being a protester for his own beliefs. Discussing how his work is difficult b/c he’s studying communities with beliefs that are opposed to his and how stigmatized vernaculars play into this. #ISCLR22
