I am fully enjoying my weekend at the C.S. Lewis and the Inklings Colloquium at Taylor University in Indiana. My brain is full with idea 
from the dozens of workshops, but what is really thrilling is the setting for conversation. I’m chatting with scholars and having dinner with leading C.S. Lewis and Inkling authors. Yesterday, I had supper with Alan Jacobs, author of The Narnian and one of the most important Lewis scholars. Right now, ‘m sitting next to Will Vaus, author of a number of Lewis resources and biographies. Adding the fact that the Edwin Brown Lewis & Inklings collection is available to me between sessions, it’s quite a setting to be thinking about Lewis’ thought.
While here, I got to present my paper, priggishly called “The 
Pedagogical Value of The Screwtape Letters for a New Generation.” It will be published this fall in Inklings Forever VIII, but I can make the prezi that I used for the presentation available here. It may help to read some notes I made about the Screwtape Letters genre, called “Screwtape Writes Again: A Note on Contemporary Screwtape Letters.” I’m getting back to the conference–hope you enjoy!
I believe in open access scholarship. Because of this, since 2011 I have made A Pilgrim in Narnia free with nearly 1,000 posts on faith, fiction, and fantasy. Please consider sharing my work so others can enjoy it.

About Brenton Dickieson
“A Pilgrim in Narnia” is a blog project in reading and talking about the work of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, the Inklings, L.M. Montgomery, and the worlds they created. As a "Faith, Fantasy, and Fiction" blog, we cover topics like children’s literature, myths and mythology, fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction, poetry, theology, cultural criticism, art and writing.
This blog includes my thoughts as I read through my favourite writings and reflect on my own life and culture. In this sense, I am a Pilgrim in Narnia--or Middle Earth, or Fairyland, or Avonlea. I am often peeking inside of wardrobes, looking for magic bricks in urban alleys, or rooting through yard sale boxes for old rings. If something here captures your imagination, leave a comment, “like” a post, share with your friends, or sign up to receive Narnian Pilgrim posts in your email box.

I envy you, brother!
You’d love it, Rob. But my head hurts.
