Anna Milon: "Neurodivergent Middle-Earth"

tolkien interdiscipinary event

"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".

Anna Milon is Education Secretary at the Tolkien Society
