CONFERENCES
Refugees, Citizenship, and Belonging:
Towards a History of the Present
Drew
University, 20-21 September, 2019
The
current focus on refugees, and the familiar claim that we are experiencing a
“refugee crisis” is clearly a response to geo-political events. But it is also
a moment in our discursive history. As such, the present situation calls for a
historicization of the major terms and concepts of our political debate. How
have the experience of immigration and international integration shaped our
understanding of national identity? How have different countries constructed
their histories in response to changing times? We invite papers engaging with
the intellectual and cultural history of the “refugee,” and related topics like
home, statelessness, and extraterritoriality, both from historians and other
scholars and from activists working in the field. Submissions from graduate
students, postdocs, and early-career faculty are encouraged.
Please
send abstracts to Hopper@drew.edu by

Racial Disposability and Cultures of
Resistance
The
African American Studies Department at The Pennsylvania State University is
pleased to announce a conference titled, "Racial Disposability and
Cultures of Resistance," to take place on October 10-12, 2019 at the Penn
Stater in State College, PA. The conference aims to explore how practices,
institutions and laws demographically distribute and neglect civil rights,
concentrating the use of force and threat of incarceration on particular
communities with limited recourse to investigation and remedy. The series also explores
how black communities, particularly youth, artists, and activists, have
produced a rich repertoire of aesthetic practices, popular cultural movements,
and activist traditions that refute the normalizing logic of racial
disposability by asserting the creativity and resilience of Black life.
The
deadline for submissions is Monday, April 1, 2019.
2019 Annual International Conference on
Ethnic and Religious Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding
The
6th Annual International Conference on Ethnic and Religious Conflict Resolution

explore whether there is a correlation between ethno-religious conflict or
violence and economic growth as well as the direction of the correlation.
Abstract
Submission Deadline: Thursday, July 18, 2019
PRIVATE LIFE
10
June 2019, University of Edinburgh
Artists
throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries contribute to this thematic
in a variety of ways, and for this conference, we invite submissions which
examine particular artistic explorations of the questions raised by the idea of
‘private life’. Under what circumstances does the ‘private sphere’ become an
important political space, and indeed, perhaps the only space where radical
political action is possible? Conversely, how does the fantasy of ‘private
life’, as a space that provides a retreat from the political, function to
enable political domination? Where does the division between ‘private’ and
‘public’ originate, and how does that division function today? How do feminist
theorisations of the home, domestic labour and social reproduction, alter our
understanding of the ways in which politics is interwoven with the private
sphere? How do new technologies and the forms of contemporary labour, including
sex work and the gig economy, put pressure on the idea of private life?
Academic
and/or practice-based contributions are welcomed from any discipline.
Proposals of around 250 words (with or without
images) should be sent to tamara.trodd@ed.ac.uk and lucy.weir@ed.ac.uk by the
deadline of 8 April 2019.
The Power of Maps and the Politics of
Borders
The
American Philosophical Society Library invites scholars in all fields to submit
paper proposals for an international and interdisciplinary conference
investigating the power of maps and the politics of drawing borders. This
three-day conference will be held in conjunction with the APS Museum’s exhibit,
Mapping a Nation: Shaping the Early American Republic, which traces the
creation and use of maps from the mid-eighteenth century through the early
republic to show the different ways in which maps produced and extended the
physical, political, and ideological boundaries of the new nation while
creating and reinforcing structural inequalities.
Applicants
should submit a title and a 250-word proposal along with a C.V. by March
15, 2019 via Interfolio: https://apply.interfolio.com/59727.

Screening Progress: The Techno-logics
of Literature, Literacy, and Pedagogy
Brooklyn
College Graduate English Conference, Saturday, May 11, 2019
Technology
has provided writers, readers, and learners with infinite modes of
communication which no longer necessarily represent traditional forms of
literacy. The creation and dissemination of information is no longer restricted
to the physical written form. Blogs, podcasts, and ebooks are all commonplace
and pedagogy is beginning to transition to the online realm. These new mediums
have shaped pedagogy and literary forms, and will continue to do so. The
implications of this reshaping remain up for debate. Advancement is not
inherently positive, and this conference seeks to convene a critical discussion
of technology’s influence on literature, literacy, and pedagogy.
Please
submit abstracts of no more than 300 words to bcgradconference@gmail.com by
March 18.
Digital Orientalisms Twitter Conference
31st
May and 1st June 2019
The
digital humanities are a burgeoning discipline in which Africanists, Middle
East and Asia specialists are discovering and building new technological and
digital solutions and approaches to the study of the histories, languages,
peoples, religions, societies, and cultures of their object of study. With
little communication between disciplines and confined to our own geographic
areas of study, there are few means through which fellow scholars and the
public can follow research advancements in these interconnected fields. This
conference aims to provide a space through which scholars can bring their
research in the Digital Humanities to a wider academic and public audience.
We
believe that the format of a Twitter Conference, conducted as it is through a
digital platform is highly suited to the Digital Humanities as a field of
research. For those unfamiliar with Twitter Conferences, we recommend looking
at the website of the Public
Archaeology Twitter Conference and searching for the hashtag
(#PATC3) of its most recent conference on Twitter. You can also view an
explanation offered by the Digital Orientalist, here.
The
deadline for proposals is the 31stof March, 2019.
(in)visibilities
Toronto,
Canada on May 3-4, 2019
The
fifth annual Binocular Conference, jointly organized by graduate students of
York University’s Science and Technology Studies (STS) and the University of
Toronto’s Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology
(IHPST), invites the submission of essays and other less formal scholarship on
the theme of “(in)visibilities.” As an interdisciplinary graduate student
conference, we invite emerging scholars from diverse disciplines to consider
and share with their peers the (in)visibilities they consider and encounter, as
well as the roles they may or may not play in their research, their field, the
world, or within their graduate school experience more generally.
The
deadline for abstract submission is March 15, 2019.
We
can be reached at binocularconference@gmail.com.
Local Alignments, Global Upheaval:
Re-Imagining Peace, Legitimacy, Jurisdiction and Authority
October
4-6, 2019 | Winnipeg, Canada
Through
papers, plenaries, and performances, sessions will explore these dynamics.
Interconnected themes will include peaceful approaches for guiding social
change while challenging the legitimacy of violent systems, re-asserting
Indigenous jurisdiction, ensuring safety and sanctuary for vulnerable peoples
and refugees, and challenging exploitative labour conditions. Winnipeg has a
legacy as an epicentre for advocacy, sanctuary, and mass mobilization. The
conference program will include traditional sessions in addition to interactive
walking tours, community workshops, and place-based activities led by scholars
and organizers on the forefront of responding to the sources and consequences
of global upheaval, locally on Treaty 1 Territory.

Imagined Borders, Epistemic Freedoms:
The Challenge of Social Imaginaries in Media, Art, Religion and Decoloniality
University
of Colorado Boulder, January 8-11, 2020
The
question of borders and the practice of bordering persist in a world destined
for encounters and confrontations. This persistence today bears resemblance to
long-standing legacies of coloniality, modernity, and globalization, but it
also foregrounds new narratives, aesthetics, and politics of exclusion and
dehumanization. Talk of walls, fortresses, boundaries, and deportation has
never been a political or philosophical anomaly, but rather a reflection of a
particularistic social imaginary, a linear compulsion of epistemic assumptions
that sees the world through the logic of hierarchy, classification, difference,
and ontological supremacy. The tenacity of this normalized worldview requires
urgent new imaginaries: a decolonial perspective not only to call out the
ontological instability of Western theory, but also to establish a sense of
epistemic hospitality capable of liberating and re-centering other ways of
knowing and dwelling in the world.
Abstracts
of 300-350 words should be submitted to cmrc@colorado.edu by June 10,
2019.
PUBLICATIONS
Animating LGBTQ+ Representations:
Queering the Production of Movement
This
issue of Synoptique: An Online Journal of Film and Moving Image Studies will
focus on queer media practices and the politics of movement. When animating
LGBTQ+ images, media creators are also mobilizing queer practices, communities,
and identities. Therefore, we are particularly interested in analyses and testimonies
that examine sites of queer media production and their animation techniques,
strategies, and practices. We encourage contributions that examine the
interactions of animation within media related to animation, such as comics and
videogames, as forms of queer movement often overflow and interact throughout
multiple media platforms. By focusing on the “politics of movement,” we intend
to grasp the convergence of 1) common techniques of animation in and across
multiple media platforms, 2) means of mobile image production both amateur and
industrial, and 3) social agendas in queer communities using the motion of
images to negotiate their representation and place in society.
Please
submit completed essays or reports to the Editorial Collective (editor.synoptique@gmail.com) issue
guest editors, Kevin J. Cooley (kevin.cooley@ufl.edu),
Edmond (Edo) Ernest dit Alban (ernestedo@gmail.com),
and Jacqueline Ristola (jacqueline.ristola@gmail.com),
by April 30st.
At Home in the Harlem Renaissance
This
special issue seeks to understand how “home” works as a thematic prompt in the
creation of black art during the Harlem Renaissance. Harlem Renaissance writers
seemed to have a knack of portraying Harlem as an inviting space for black
people and black art. The association of Harlem with the idea of home means
something not only to where black artists think the creation of black art is
most conducive but also to how they are able to create black art in the first
place. What does it mean to need to feel at home in order to make black art or
in order to feel that you are making it in community with others? What artistic
function does it ultimately serve—what imaginative possibilities does it
enable—to claim the hominess of Harlem as either an ideal or an actual reality?

Art and Gentrification: Urban
Aesthetics in the Changing Neoliberal Landscape
Gentrification
arguably forms a key component of neoliberal urban growth strategies inspired
by the so-called promises of the creative city. Its hegemonic effects on the
urban sensorium have an essential role in producing and reinforcing
socio-spatial divides. This book acknowledges the accumulated discussions on
art’s role in gentrification but changes the focus to the growing phenomenon of
cultural and artistic protests and resistance in the gentrified neighborhoods.
Thus, it aims to point to the aestheticization of the urban space as a resource
for neoliberal urbanism but also as a resistance of the alternative political
culture that channels the subjective dynamics into political participation and
empowerment.
Please
submit abstracts of around 500 words together with details of your affiliation
and current CV to Tijen Tunali tijentunali9@gmail.com until Friday,
April 12, 2019, using ‘CFP: art and gentrification’ as the subject heading
of your email.
Resisting Injustice: Contemporary Views
on Angela Davis
I
am seeking submissions for Resisting
Injustice: Contemporary Views on Angela Davis, a book collection of edited essays. 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 15, 2019.
Disorder
The
Journal of History and Cultures (JHAC) is inviting the submission of articles
or book reviews for Issue 10. We welcome articles on a broad range in both
geographic and chronological terms, including local, regional, national and
global foci from medieval right through to contemporary periods. Issue 10 of
the Journal of History and Cultures will have a central organising theme of
‘Disorder’. ‘Disorder’ can be interpreted in many different ways and is
temporally relevant when we consider what the concept of ‘disorder’ means
presently, and what it meant in the past.
Submissions
should be emailed no later than 31st July 2019.
Please
contact us (jhac@contacts.bham.ac.uk)
or visit our website (http://historyandcultures.com)
for more details about submissions and available books for review.
Generation X’s Middle Age Beliefs in
Pop Culture
These
Gen X adults were deeply affected by cultural mores and trends when they were
coming of age. What happened to those
ideals and beliefs that influence them as we mature into adults? How does popular culture represent these
beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors?
Specifically, how have the beliefs and forces that shaped Generation X
during their youth helped or constrained them as they take on adult challenges
such as parenting, working and being a citizen of the larger world? How are
Generation Xers portrayed as middle-aged adults in popular culture, including
novels, movies, media, music, and television?
Please
send a 200 word abstract for chapter, 1-2 sentence biographical sketch, and
C.V. by May 15 to: Professor Pam Hollander, phollander@worcester.edu
Intersectional Automations: Robotics,
AI, Algorithms, and Equity
This
collection will explore a range of situations where robotics, biotechnological
enhancement, artificial intelligence (AI), and algorithmic culture collide with
intersectional social justice issues, such as race, class, gender, sexuality,
ability and citizenship. This edited collection will lend a critical eye to
what is at stake due to the automation of aspects of culture. How do equity
issues intersect with these fields? Are the pronouncements always already dire,
or are there also lines of flight towards more equitable futures in which
agentic artefacts and extensions can play an active part? Chapters may address
one or multiple equity issues, and submissions that address emergent
intersections between them will be given special consideration.
If
interested, please send a 750-word abstract, collection of keywords, and a
150-word bio to the editor, Dr. Nathan Rambukkana (n_rambukkana@complexsingularities.net),
by 1 April 2019.
Migrant:
Unwaged Work in the U.S.
The
Activist History Review invites proposals for our April 2019 issue. Migrant
workers have formed the backbone of American foodways for centuries. They pick
our crops, process our food, and package it for our consumption. Despite the
absolutely essential nature of their labor, they often work without benefits or
protections while receiving scant pay. These poor working conditions subsidize
the cost of our every meal, enabling employers to pay workers less while
increasing their own profits. We welcome proposals that examine any aspect of
the long arc of migrant labor in American history, with preference given to
those that discuss the racialized nature of migrant work.
Proposals
should be no more than 250 words for articles from 1250-2000 words, and should
be emailed to Michael Barry at michael.barry@student.american.edu by
Saturday, March 23rd at 11:59 PM.
Care Ethics, Religion and Spiritual
Traditions
The
editors of this anthology invite critical commentary and analysis on how
religion, both organized and less formally arranged, may facilitate or erode
the normative goals associated with Care Ethics. To the extent that many religions recognize
the human and embodied need for care, and valorize the moral obligation to give
and take care as having a divine component, it is sometimes the case that
religious practices enrich care. At the
same time, as a feminist ethic, Care Ethics is well situated to uniquely
critique and question a wide variety of religious motifs, practices, and
teachings in light of how well they do and do not succeed in completing the
goals of care in ways that are competent and just. This volume seeks to initiate discussion of
the possible affinities and strains between Care Ethics and religion, broadly
construed, and to indicate areas in need of future study.
Prospective
contributors should submit a 500 word abstract to SanderStaudtM@gmail.com
by April 15, 2019.
Transforming the Authority of the
Archive: Undergraduate Pedagogy and Critical Digital Archives
We
seek abstract proposals for contributions to an edited collection exploring how
archives-based undergraduate pedagogy transforms the institutional authority of
the archive. This edited collection will
include perspectives from educators, archivists (both community- and
institutionally-affiliated), and undergraduates involved in efforts to
deconstruct and transform the institutional authority of the archive. We will examine how these efforts and the
evolving core values of higher education mutually influence each other. How can emergent best practices in
community-based digital archiving inform productive shifts in undergraduate
pedagogy? How can we transform our
pedagogy to better prepare students to ethically engage with the digital
archives they encounter and create? And
how can these transformations newly express the core values of higher
education?
Please
send 300-500 word abstracts to co-editors Charlotte Nunes (nunesc@lafayette.edu) and Andi Gustavson
(agustavson@utexas.edu).
Review of abstracts will begin April 1, 2019.
Sound Acts: Unmuting Performance
Studies
This
special issue of Performance Matters places theater and performance on the map
in sound studies by tracing out how sound acts. “Sound acts” underscores how
sound inaugurates bodies and power, and how bodies and power in performance
produce meanings and significations for sound. For this special issue of
Performance Matters, we solicit scholarly essays, sonic performance scripts,
interviews with or manifestos from sound artists and practitioners that
investigate sound as an aesthetic possibility and mode of resistance for
minoritarian subjects. Our publication will be field defining in coalescing the
sonic reverberations emerging in theater and performance studies.
Submissions
and inquiries should be e-mailed to soundactsspecialissue@gmail.com by 15
May 2019.
On_Culture: Distribution
This
issue of On_Culture aims to explore the concept of distribution across
disciplines, opening the scope from media studies and global history to the
study of culture at large. By combining it with broader issues such as agency,
digitality, or knowledge production, the issue will seek to capture
distribution in its multiplicity of (political) implications, contexts,
infrastructures, and applications.
Please
submit an abstract of 300 words with the article title, 5–6 keywords, and a
short biographical note to content@on-culture.org (subject
line “Abstract Submission Issue 8”) no later than March 31, 2019.
Childfree across the Disciplines:
Academic and Activist Perspectives on NOT Choosing Children
This
collection intends to engage with (mis)perceptions about Childfree people
(Cfers): in media representations, in economic theory, in demographic models,
in historical documents and historiographic models, and in legal texts, to name
but a few of the areas of academic praxis that the Cf life impacts on—and is
impacted by. It unequivocally takes a stance supporting the subversive
potential of the Cf choice, particularly the “sense of continual potential in
who or what [a person] could be” (Doyle et al., in press). It also seeks to
delineate how Cfers factor (or not) into both previous and future academic
literatures. To this end, I am interested in submissions from academics and
activists in various disciplines and movements about the Cf life: its implications,
its challenges, its conversations, and its agency—all in relation to its
inevitableness in the 21st century.
Proposals
are due *April 1, 2019*
Proposals
or questions: please email Davinia Thornley (davinia.thornley@otago.ac.nz)
Food and World's Fairs/Expositions
This
special issue of Food, Culture & Society will examine how fairs and
expositions – at local, regional, national, and international levels anytime
from the nineteenth century to the present – reflect and shape perceptions of
food production and consumption for mass audiences. It will consider the
perspectives of fair organizers, publicists, exhibitors, concessionaires,
restaurateurs, and consumers in constructing and experiencing the diversity of
food cultures on the fairgrounds. This special issue welcomes papers that place
the scholarship on food and on expositions in conversation in order to
demonstrate the importance of these mass cultural events as sites where local,
regional, national, and corporate food identities were simultaneously made and
unmade.

Space Unlocked, History Unfrozen:
Revisiting the Past in Museums and Historic Sites
Museums
and historic sites have recently become settings for events, exhibitions, and
art installations that throw new light upon the objects they comprise and the
“pasts” they reference. They serve as backdrops to contemporary interventions,
to which they can assume a secondary role. Yet these spaces also inspire the
creation of new, immersive, and historically-minded art pieces, which make
these older constructions relevant to contemporary audiences once again. The
showbiz and commercial industries, too, have also long been known to manipulate
such spaces in order to create alternative realities for the screen or retail
venues while fashion has repeatedly turned to the image of history to bolster
the appeal of both couture and ready-to-wear garments. Instigating discussions
about “history” and conceptions of the past more generally, Space Unlocked,
History Unfrozen: Revisiting the Past in Museums and Historic Sites proposes to
challenge and change the meanings and relevance such spaces have in the history
of art and design and neighboring fields of museum and heritage studies as well
as for the general public.
We
invite chapter proposals at least 400 words in length that address these themes
and other related ones to be submitted by March 30, 2019.

Feminisms in Our Words, From Our Worlds
Feminisms
in Our Words, From Our Worlds is a volume of personal essays by feminists across
the globe on how they enact feminism in their daily lives. It seeks to explore
the stories of our feminisms -- how we became acquainted with them; how we put
our feminisms into regular practice; how we nourish them and how they in turn
enrich us; what defines the “political” for us and how we engage with it in
feminist ways. The collection intends to understand how the extraordinary and
the mundane bring feminism to us, or have brought us to feminism, propelling us
to explore, expand, critique, and transform it.
Please
send us a pitch of no more than 300 words by March 30, 2019.
If
you have any questions regarding the project, feel free to reach us at ourfeminismsproject@gmail.com.

RESOURCES
Black Women’s Studies Booklist
The
Black Women's Studies (BWST) Booklist connects foundational texts of critical race and gender scholarship to
newer publications. This comprehensive bibliography identifies long-term trends
and places recent contributions in historical context. Beyond a
"generative" project, the BWST Booklist identifies past, present, and
forthcoming work to create a robust, regenerative discussion. The BWST Booklist
enables more clarity in the formal study of Black women's theories, identities,
academic disciplines, activist work, and geographic locations.
Slave Voyages
This
digital memorial raises questions about the largest slave trades in history and
offers access to the documentation available to answer them. European
colonizers turned to Africa for enslaved laborers to build the cities and
extract the resources of the Americas. They forced millions of mostly unnamed
Africans across the Atlantic to the Americas, and from one part of the Americas
to another. Analyze these slave trades and view interactive maps, timelines,
and animations to see the dispersal in action.
