Mysteries and Mayhem is our fourth conference theme. Why do we continue to crave mystery stories? What do they tell us about our need for suspense and our desire to solve riddles, including the most famous of all:Whodunnit? What do these stories of murder and mayhem teach us about the nature of evil, ideas of sin, and the essence of a villain? What do we hope to see in the survivors of these threats? –And what do we expect from the detectives and heroes who reveal the truth in these stories? We seek papers and creative projects that explore these and related questions.
