It appears that the Afterlives of Connecticut Yankee session will be running after all.
Here are the details. I am grateful to everyone in Arthurian Studies and Twain Studies that helped make this session possible.

Welcome to King Arthur Forever: The Matter of Britain Lives, a blog sponsored by The Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain. Our mission, first laid out in 2000, is to embrace the full corpus of the Arthurian tradition and to promote study, discussion, and debate of representations of the legends in all their forms as produced from the Middle Ages through the contemporary moment (and beyond).
To me, methought, who waited with a crowd,
There came a bark that, blowing forward, bore
King Arthur, like a modern gentleman
Of stateliest port; and all the people cried,
"Arthur is come again: he cannot die."
"Morte d'Arthur" (1842)
Alfred, Lord Tennyson
