BPPA Discord Presentations - Deck the Halls with Dialectics

A Celebration of Wacky, Weird, and Wonderfully Festive Ideas

Presentation dates: December 1–19, 2025

Abstract deadline: Monday, November 17, 2025

Tis the season for unwrapping the odd, the delightful, and the deeply dialectical! Deck the Halls with Dialectics invites 12 brave (or possibly foolish) speakers to deliver 30-minute presentations that are fun, silly, weird, or wonderfully festive — followed by a 15-minute Q&A.

Whether you’re reinterpreting Marx through Mariah Carey, exploring the semiotics of tinsel, or unveiling your theory of reindeer phenomenology, this is your chance to shine — or at least sparkle faintly in the winter gloom.

Presentations will take place on:

• Monday 1 December (2 sessions)

• Friday 5 December (2 sessions)

• Monday 8 December (2 sessions)

• Friday 12 December (2 sessions)

• Monday 15 December (2 sessions)

• Friday 19 December (2 sessions)

We welcome all kinds of presentations: academic parodies, conceptual art pieces, performative lectures, or any joyful act of intellectual mischief.

⭐ Submission Guidelines

• Submit a 150–250 word abstract describing your idea, tone, and format.

• Include your name, contact info, and affiliation (if any).

• Optional: indicate any preferred presentation dates.

• Deadline: Monday, November 17, 2025, at 11:59 PM.
