There are some connections with the Heidelberg Apocalypse Studies project, yes. I'm not connected with it myself, but it just so happens that a few of our members are involved with it. What a small world it is! You're more than welcome to submit a paper. We're really excited to see what people come up with!

Will do! Our hope is that we can make it all available to non-academics as well. We are certainly also opening up attending to those who aren't presenting as the aim is to hopefully start up a bit of a community around this.

I have previously thought about how various aspects of 40k (warp, tyrranids, chaos) relate to philosophy of mind.
Also, it might be worth posting this on the main philosophy mailing list, the Philos L mailing list (
https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/philosophy/philos-l/).
Thanks so much for your message. Yes indeed, it is open up to presenting online. In the submission form you can select your preferences (online, in person, or either). The philosophy of mind is perfect fit for 40k I think. The whole chaos-gods as reflections of the psyche is such an interesting area.
Thanks also for sharing the mailing list. I admit, I hadn't heard of it before, and I have a lot of contacts at Liverpool!

Great! You're more than welcome
