Rest and the rest: The Aesthetics of Idleness
University of Rochester, April 12-13, 2019
This conference invites emerging scholars and
practitioners in the humanities, arts, and social sciences to consider the ways
in which idleness works across cultures. How might the concept of idleness be
seen as a space of inquiry and contestation, and how might it become generative
and productive? Hosted by the University of Rochester's Graduate Program in
Visual and Cultural Studies, this conference aims to foster an environment for
interdisciplinary communication, knowledge exchange, and collaboration.
Abstracts are to be submitted to the
conference website (https://dslab.lib.rochester.edu/vcsconference/cfp/submit-an-abstract)
by January 31, 2019

Speak OUT! Shut UP!
University of Illinois at Chicago, April 5-6,
2019
In this conference we would like to
investigate how silencing and raising one's voice have been addressed in the
past and how these phenomena function today. Are there connections between
various iterations of silencing/speaking out? What can we learn from the past
to better understand the present? How do resistance movements react and respond
to their surrounding environment?
Please submit a short bio (no longer than 50
words) and an abstract (no longer than 300 words) to convergingnarratives@gmail.com by
January 31, 2019
For questions, send email to convergingnarratives@gmail.com
Silenced Voices: XIX Hispanic and Lusophone Conference
University of
California Santa Barbara, April
18 and 19, 2019
What is a “voice” in both the literary and
linguistic sense? It might be audible, meaning-bearing speech or song, a
narratorial tone or perspective, and also a grammatical relationship to action.
We might think of voice as a character, as a mediator of knowledge, or as a
tool for communication and the dissemination of ideas or information. Taking
these possible definitions or understandings of “voice” into account, how might
we understand the meaning of “silenced voices”? “Silenced voices,” broadly
understood as a repression of dialogue, a censuring or a reduction of
communication, might be applied in a range of disciplines: Portuguese and
Spanish linguistics, language or literary pedagogy, film studies, cultural
studies and beyond.
Proposals must be
submitted to conference.ucsb@gmail.com by:
March 15th, 2019.

Decoding Difference
Women's and Gender
History Symposium, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 8 March, 2019
We are particularly
interested in considering the ways that categories of gendered, sexual, and
racial difference are constantly made and unmade in arenas of power, through
struggles between socially advantaged and disadvantaged groups over
representations and practices relating to the body. This is to take seriously
the role of historically marginalized subjects--women, LGBTQ people,
immigrants, indigenous people, people of color, and others--in rendering
grammars of difference fluid and unstable through actions that undermine or
expose normative fictions designed to legitimate logics of exclusionary
violence.
Please submit your
proposals (300-500 words in length) to the symposium co-chairs Taryn Vaughn and
Stephen Vitale at gendersymp@gmail.com by
8 February, 2019.
For information and
updates on this year's symposium, please visit our website at http://uiucwghs.weebly.com/.
Transcending Boundaries
Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant,
Michigan, on March 29 - 30, 2019
We invite graduate students from across the
social sciences and the humanities to submit proposals for papers or panels
that adopt an interdisciplinary or transnational approach but we are also
seeking papers or panels that approach historical topics in more traditional
ways.
The final deadline for submission is February
3, 2019.
Send abstract (250-350 words) and a short
curriculum vitae as an attachment to histconf@cmich.edu.
Space, Place, and the Spirit of Material Culture
Communal Studies Conference, Winterthur
Museum, Gardens & Library in Delaware, OCTOBER 17 – OCTOBER 19, 2019
This year's conference theme is meant to
underscore the role of material culture in intentional communities and its link
to the creation of objects and spaces within a community, the making of places
where intentional communities can be found, and the ideological, spiritual, and
material values that are expressed in the objects and landscapes a community
makes, owns, uses, or alters. We are looking for studies that focus on how
belief and ideology writ broadly create, reflect, and reinforce material
culture in intentional communities, and conversely how that material culture
creates, influences, promotes, or obstructs an ideology or way of life. We are
also interested in proposals that concern any other topic about intentional
communities.
Deadline May 20, 2019
For information please get in touch with
Program Chair Susan Love Brown, slbrown@fau.edu.
In Search of Asylum: An Interdisciplinary Discussion
University of Chicago, April 4-5, 2019
“Asylum” has returned to the forefront of
global political consciousness. In conjunction with highly charged terms like
amnesty and assimilation, and such spectral figures as the “illegal alien” and
the “migrant caravan,” asylum condenses a variety of anxieties about the
changing parameters of power within a globalizing world and aspirations for a
livable life. Under these circumstances asylum has taken on a new urgency, as
either the moral imperative of our times or an unforgivable betrayal of the
nation and its ideal. We invite proposals from across the humanities and social
sciences to discuss the transformation of the concept of asylum and its
implications for understanding the present.
Proposals Due: February 1, 2019
Contact Email: weissbourd2019@gmail.com
Alternative Narratives: Realism, Mysticism, and Divergence
Friday, March 22, 2019, California State
University, Los Angeles
This conference invites submissions engaged in
illuminating silenced, obscured, and overlooked voices. We welcome projects
that question the nature of these narratives: What defines them as
“alternative”? Have these voices always been obscured? How do these voices talk
from margins of obscurity? We also accept submissions that go beyond the
conference theme. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the conference, we
welcome all fields of study. Some fields of interest include: Creative Writing,
Critical Theory, Philosophy, History, Linguistics, Cultural Studies,
Pan-African Studies, Native American Studies, Sociology, Psychology, Natural
and Social Sciences, etc.
Please submit your papers to https://goo.gl/forms/GpWFb8Pp9W2QvXcn2 or
via email to significations.csula@gmail.com.
Submission Deadline: January 22, 2019
In and Out of Africa
Boston, March 29-30, 2019
The 2019 Boston University African Studies
Center Graduate Student Conference will explore the theme “in and out of
Africa.” It seeks, on one hand, to contemplate Africa as a place of transit: as
an origin, waypoint, or destination for global-scale flows, circulations, and
transmissions. This angle emphasizes the flux and mobility of people, nonhuman
organisms, capital, cultures, languages, philosophies and more. But by another
light the conference theme also points to boundaries and borders, lines marking
what is “in” and what is “out.” It raises again perennial questions about
authenticity, indigeneity, and belonging. Ultimately, considering what is, has
been, and will be “in and out of Africa” raises the question of what ought to
be “in and out” of African Studies itself.
Graduate students are invited to submit
abstracts for papers on the conference theme to buascgsconf2019@gmail.com by January
22, 2019
Perennial Problems: Histories of Health and Environment across Borders

graciously cover the costs of workshop participants’ travel and accommodations.
Submissions are due by 30 January 2019.
email: clarksL4@mcmaster.ca
HERITAGE INTERSECTIONS: PEOPLE AND PLACEMAKIN
Carleton University School of Indigenous and
Canadian Studies, April 27, 2019, Ottawa, Ontario
The goal of the 2019 Symposium is to share
original research, case studies, design projects and other forms of creative
production of and reflection upon tangible and intangible heritage, which
examine cross disciplinary and alternative approaches and give a "richer
and more comprehensive meaning to heirtiage as a whole." We are looking
for submissions that help explore fruitful areas of intersection. Throughout
the one-day symposium, participants will gain insight into diverse
coneptualizations of heitage, and distinct ways of understanding historic
places, and discover proceses for intervening on and preserving the built
environment and cultural landscapes.
Please submit an abstract about your proposal
of no more than 300 words by January 26th, 2019
Histories of Sexuality and Erudition: Institutions, Texts, Practices
Princeton University on May 10-11, 2019

different contexts and cultures. It will bring together scholars from different
fields to collectively examine diverse, historically contingent cases at the juncture
between the history of sexuality and the history of scholarship.
We are currently seeking proposals for short
precirculated papers (c. 5,000 words), due February 1, 2019. For
more information please see the Call for Papers or contact
organizers Paul Babinski, Benjamin Bernard, and Emily Rutherford at emr2213@columbia.edu.
PUBLICATIONS
Maya - A Gender and Sexuality Magazine
Maya is a unique initiative of the LGBTQI+
community of Jindal Global University, Sonipat (India). We seek to provide an
avenue for discussions on issues of gender and sexuality. Maya does not hope to
merely limit itself to theorizing upon individuals’ gender and sexuality, but
rather document the lives of those individuals at different places and stages
of life. We seek new and original writings (fiction or nonfiction), articles,
poetry, book/film reviews, opinion pieces, campus reports, research studies,
art, memes & photography.
Students, academicians, research scholars, and
activists are welcome to contribute to the magazine. The deadline for
submission is 31st January 2019.
Native American Moral Lifeways: A Relational Approach
Contributors should focus on a particular Native
tradition and address at least one of these questions. The volume seeks to
combine traditional voices and scholars (Native and non-Native) reflecting on
the practical implications for Native lifeways. This book will contain
discussions about the ethical and moral dimensions of Native American peoples
using Indigenous ontologies and cosmologies and should establish the groundwork
for future developments in the field.
For consideration, please send an abstract of
approximately 250 words to fdetwiler@adrian.edu by
July 1, 2019.
Call for Papers: Spectrum: A Journal on Black Men
Spectrum is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary
research journal, published by Indiana University Press. The editors invite
submissions of original, previously unpublished manuscripts that engage issues
related to aspects of Black men’s experiences or topics such as gender,
masculinities, and race/ethnicity. The journal is especially interested in
considering works that tackle some of the world’s most pressing social issues
as they relate to Black men. Although the journal places Black men at the
center of analysis, cutting edge and timely research about Black boys and youth
is also welcomed. Authors should address such concerns using disciplinary or
interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and approach those topics using
empirical methods, theoretical analysis, quantitative methods, or literary
criticism.
Contact Email: reinhoudt.2@osu.edu
Teaching Failures
TRANSFORMATIONS: The Journal of Inclusive
Scholarship and Pedagogy
Teaching Failures essays should focus on a
particularly challenging classroom experience, a struggle with a specific
teaching resource, or failure/success as related to pedagogical practice. More
broadly, authors might explore the ways in which educational institutions and
institutional structures define and engage failure and/or success (for example,
academic silos, issues relating to academic freedom, work cultures, governance,
etc.)
2/1/19 Deadline
Theorizing Fashion Media
Fashion and related media are remarkably
germane to some of the most exciting directions in contemporary feminist
criticism and theory. This special issue of *Feminist Theory* on Theorizing
Fashion Media will allow for careful consideration of a range of conceptual
issues raised by fashion-related media, from print magazines to visual and
digital culture, from the 1960s to the contemporary moment. Exciting
theoretical conversations are currently afoot in periodical studies – about
temporality, networks, and affect, for example – and can enrich feminist
debates about these topics.
Prospective contributors are invited to submit
a 500-word abstract and a brief bio to Ilya Parkins (ilya.parkins@ubc.ca)
and Lise Shapiro Sanders (lsanders@hampshire.edu)
by April 1, 2019.
Inheritance
To inherit is to receive, to gain, to be left
with more. The term “inheritance” first brings to mind the bequeathing of
property by a parent to a child. The exclusion of women from this form of
inheritance has been a contested issue for millennia and figured prominently in
the earliest feminist causes in the United States and other Western nations.
Remarkably, women in many parts of the United States won the right to own and
control property (inherited or purchased, be she single, married, or divorced)
before they earned the rights of citizenship, particularly the right to vote.
While this call for papers begins with these most conventional understandings
of inheritance, the goal of the Inheritance issue of WSQ is to facilitate a
conversation on the many meanings and complications of the term “inheritance”
and of the processes and experiences of inheriting, including the multiplicity
of things that can be inherited and the varied ways these things can be
transmitted and received across generations.
Priority Submission Deadline: March 1, 2019
Art, Dreams, and Miracles
This issue, to be published in print and
online versions (slated for Mar 2020), explores the creative relationship
between art and oneiric experiences (including dreams, miracles, visitations
and/or visions). Oneiric experiences are translated by people in diverse ways;
stories, sermons, prayers and, not least, art (Degarrod 2017; Edgar 2016;
Mittermaier 2011; Price-Williams and Gaines 1994). Dreams and miracles may be
expressed through many forms, e.g., painting, poetry, song and dance. The issue
highlights how dream experiences are materialised in different cultures, and
less on analysing artists’ work or the imagery of dreams. Any treatment of
recorded form (visual, oral, written or performative) is welcome.
The deadline for submissions is 10 May 2019:
please read our author guidelines (https://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?show=instructions&journalCode=rwor20)
and submit your manuscript to ScholarOne at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rwor.
For further information, contact the World Art editors at worldart@uea.ac.uk.
Gender and Design: Studies in Material Culture
This edited volume will examine intersections
of Design and Gender across a range of historical moments, political
environments and material categories. We invite readings and materialist
critiques of designed objects, exchanges, spaces, instruments, affects and
styles as well as evaluations of ‘design practice’ as gendered work,
performance, or representation. Of particular interest: contemporary design
theory, transnational design events, ecological design, new technocentric or
scientific design, posthuman material culture and local design archaeologies as
they relate to the politics of gender and agency in our post-millennial era.
Please send abstracts in English of 300-400
words, along with a short biography, by February 15, 2019 to Binita Mehta at
binita.mehta@mville.edu, Pia Mukherji at pia.mukherji@gmail.com,
or Jennifer A. Rich at Jennifer.A.Rich@hofstra.edu.
A Seat at the Table: African American Women’s Intellectualism in the
Public Square
This volume focuses on the public
intellectualism of African American women in United States history from the
nineteenth century to the present (understanding the term intellectual as
broadly construed). With three major sections on politics, governance and the
military, “A Seat at the Table” seeks to fill a void in the history of black
women’s intellectual history by concentrating on black women and their ideas in
the public sphere.
Send a 250-word proposal to Dr. Hettie V.
Williams at hwilliam@monmouth.edu for
consideration.
Native American Humor
Laughter encompasses the limits of the soul.
In humor life is redefined and accepted. Irony and satire provide much keener
insights into a group’s collective psyche and values than do years of
research.” In a North American context, the notion of cultural exchange and
understanding through humor appears somewhat unilateral in that settler forms
of humor often erase indigenous existence and refuse native sovereignty. At the
same time, indigenous forms of humor often expose and critique the oppressive,
colonialist logic of this humor as acts of sovereignty reclaiming power over
(self-)representations.
To open up possibilities for interdisciplinary
discussion, the editors welcome research from a variety of fields, including
but not limited to literature, religion, philosophy, law, political science,
anthropology, sociology, linguistics, history, archeology, museology,
gender/queer studies, popular culture, art and media studies.
Please submit proposals (500-1000 words) to StudiesinAmericanHumor@roosevelt.edu no
later than March 1, 2019
Reclaiming the Tomboy: Posthumanism, Gender Representation, and
Intersectionality
We are currently seeking chapter submissions
for an edited volume exploring the evolution of the tomboy figure from classic
literature through to modern popular culture, through the lens of posthumanist
theory. As recent critics have discussed, the figure of the tomboy is complex
and multifaceted, represented across many different modes and employing a vast
array of different narrative, visual, and rhetorical styles and techniques.
Over time, tomboy figures have illustrated a shift in the conceptualization of
gender, sexuality, race, and other identity politics and philosophies. In their
unashamed breaching of identity borders and boundaries, these figures are the
ideal locus for exploration of the way in which posthumanism itself represents
an evolution in identity and rights philosophies.
Please submit a 500-word chapter abstract and
a biography of no more than 250 words by July 31, 2019, to reclaimingthetomboy@gmail.com.
Resisting Injustice: Contemporary Views on Angela Davis
Resisting Injustice: Contemporary Views on
Angela Davis will contribute to the discourse on scholar and civil rights activist Angela Y. Davis by being the first interdisciplinary book of
critical essays to focus primarily on
Angela Y. Davis. The book will consist of essays analyzing books, essays, and/or speeches by Angela Y.
Davis and essays examining representations of Angela Y. Davis in music,
literature, film, art, dance, and/or other related and relevant topics in
relationship to the overall theme of
“Resisting Injustice.”
Submissions should include an updated or recent CV, a 250 - 300 words
abstract including the title of the
proposed essay, and contact information.
The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2019.
Object-Oriented Ontology and its Critics
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/3514827/object-oriented-ontology-and-its-critics
Open Philosophy (http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/opphil)
invites submissions for the topical issue, “Object-Oriented Ontology and its
Critics.” Oriented Ontology (OOO) has provoked more critics and generated more
interdisciplinary work than any of the strands of post-2007 Speculative
Realism. This topical issue aims to address both the controversies associated
with OOO and its rapid spread across the disciplines. Articles presenting
thoughtful criticism of OOO are welcomed for this issue, as are discussions of
OOO’s intervention in such fields as archaeology, architecture, art, literary
criticism, organization theory, social theory, and videogame criticism, among
others.
Submissions will be collected till May 31,
2019.
Encyclopedia of African American Culture
We are actively seeking submissions for The
Encyclopedia of African American Culture: From Dashikis to Yoruba. This
three-volume A-Z encyclopedia will cover the broad roots of African American
culture, including living traditions, rites of passage, folk culture, popular
culture, subcultures, and other forms of shared expression. Readers often
believe there to be a cohesive and shared culture among African Americans, and
while the broad culture shares general commonalities, rich variation exists
within specific cultural expressions. Topics for available entries include Art
in the Black Arts Movement, Baseball, Black Churches, Blaxploitation Films, Opera,
Photography, Murals, Television, and Soul Music, among others. Please contact Omari
Dyson at oldyce@yahoo.com for more information.
Nationalism: (Mis)Understanding Donald Trump’s Capitalism, Racism,
Global Politics, International Trade and Media Wars
Donald Trump is our example/query/ problem or
solution. He didn’t really start this though. Apartheid South Africa leaders
were nationalistic and racists. Robert Mugabe was a nationalist and racist and
tempered heavily with Zimbabwe’s media freedoms. He also destroyed the economy
through an illegal and forceful land reform program; telling the whites they
don’t belong in Africa. Africa and the Americas since the colonial period have
been vastly changed and shaped by settler politics as both the immigrants and
natives fought for nationality and belongingness and through the centuries
there has been a continuous refinement of what it means to belong (as a citizen
or foreigner). We invite scholars, writers, poets etc., to respond to issues to
do with nationalism espoused by Donald Trump and others in these two continents
in investigating issues to do with capitalism, global politics, international
trade and media freedoms. Send in your well written scholarly work,
nonfictions, fictions, poetry, mixed genres.
Send entries as one word doc to mwanaka13@gmail.com before 31 March 2019
