CONFERENCES
The
Longest March: Feminism, Insitutions, and Art
CAA2020, Chicago, February 12 - 15, 2020
Fifty years after the women’s movement in art began, it’s
obvious that asking for equality (50% women) is not enough; and that ‘add women
and stir’ will not bring political and cultural change in museums, galleries,
and Universities. At this time of hardening differences, defunding and attacks
upon many cultural and educational institutions, we invite papers that address
feminist resistance as a strategy for change from within institutions.
Papers may address, inter alia: What has been achieved – or
not – by the political, social and economic goals of feminism entering the
institution? Is Dutschke’s strategy useful in the current socio-political
climate in arts institutions? Who can actually ‘get inside’ institutions? How
do we reconcile strategies of resistance from within with the heavy facts of
institutional violence experienced by women, people of colour, queer and
disabled people and others in white patriarchal institutions? Can
‘revolutionary work’ be done within the arts and its institutions, and how?
Please submit proposals to the two chairs by July 23rd.
Gender
and Creativity in Music Worlds
The Symposium taking place on 8-9 January in Budapest, 2020
will provide a public forum for researchers and music professionals — including
musicians, educators, critics and industry personnel — interested in the causes
and modalities of gender inequalities and gendered power dynamics present in
the multiple genres and worlds of music. For music professionals and academics
in post-socialist Europe opportunities to participate and share ideas
concerning gender and music have been relatively limited in comparison with
colleagues in Western countries. For this reason, we particularly welcome
proposals from the Central and East European region.
submit proposals to budapest@musicafeminainternational.eu by 20
September 2019.
Not-So-Dead
Women: Renegotiating Femininity and Death in Literature and Pop Culture
NeMLA 2020 - Boston March 5-8, 2020.
Women’s corpses, such as those of Snow White or Ophelia, are
often depicted as a beautiful and passive objects, which has led scholars to
posit cultural reflections concerning tacit assumptions in the link between
femininity and death. Whether it be assessing the agency of an undead corpse
(such as iZombie), the power of a resurrected female (as in Beloved or Buffy
the Vampire Slayer), or adaptations of female death figures/deities
(Persephone, Hella, etc.), this panel invites papers that explore new and
renegotiated paradigms in the active role of dead women and the link between
femininity and death.
Abstracts due Sept. 30th 2019.

Reflecting
Black: 400 Hundred Years of African American Life and History
Thursday, October 24, 2019
The University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) College of
Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of History, Humanities, and
Languages, and Center for Critical Race Studies is hosting a Symposium
commemorating 400 Years of African American Life and History. This year, 2019,
marks the four hundredth anniversary of the arrival of the first documented
Africans to the North American continent. Undoubtedly, the past four centuries
of African American life have been replete with trauma, struggle, and
resiliency. The Symposium will examine the centrality of race and racism
throughout United States history and ongoing efforts to dismantle structural
systems of oppression. We will also highlight the myriad achievements and
contributions African Americans have made to various sectors in the United
States.
Proposal deadline: Sept. 6

Not-So-Dead
Women: Renegotiating Femininity and Death in Literature and Pop Culture
The
Meaning of Food: Interdisciplinary Conference on Representations of Food in the
Arts & Humanities
March 28, 2020, Greensboro, NC
The study of food—what we do or do not eat as well as how,
when, where, why and with whom we eat—is strongly linked to anthropological,
cultural, social, political, and economic concerns. Once regarded as mundane
and not worthy of scholarly study, food has become a valuable lens to explore
pressing social issues. This conference welcomes studies from any discipline in
the arts and humanities that consider food as a productive lens to analyze
socio-cultural constructions of meaning.
All proposals are due November 1, 2019
Any questions?

Exploring
the Macabre, Malevolent, and Mysterious
William Peace University, October 17 & 18, 2019
The WPU Interdisciplinary Conference seeks to advance
collaborative and interconnective understanding on a variety of topics. With a
sense of a renewed interest, or perhaps a more mainstreamed acceptance of, the
horror genre in American culture, we thought it exciting for this conference to
focus on an exploration of the macabre, malevolent, and mysterious. It is our
hope that you will join us in bringing together knowledge from diverse
disciplines to further the scholarship being done on the myriad of concepts
falling within this theme.
Proposal Deadline: August 25
Submission: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIcXC3S5bfuO0zZf1ldCPUUG572WVYXCZ5oO_jl_4J6UD8og/viewform
Trees,
People and the Built Environment
University of Birmingham on 22 and 23 of April, 2020
The 2020 conference is seeking papers on trees and
infrastructure as nations work towards how specialists in the built
environment, particularly architects, planners, arboriculturists,
environmentalists and engineers, can work together in a world where climate
change is at the top of political, social and economic agendas. Papers that
address the conference topics in both the social and natural sciences are
welcomed. These will either be original research papers presenting new work in
a specific subject area or case studies demonstrating research being brought
through to practice.
deadline: 1 September 2019
All abstract submissions and academic enquires should be
directed to Russell Horsey, russell.horsey@charteredforesters.org
Examining
the American Experience
Thursday, October 3rd and Friday, October 4th, 2019, The University
of Alabama
Indigenous peoples. Puritans. Salem Witch Trials.
Revolutionary War. Slavery. Suffrage. Civil War. Jim Crow. Civil Rights.
Internment Camps. Stonewall Riots. 9/11. Trump’s America. These are but a few
of the populations, events, and movements that comprise the American
Experience. Like the disciplinary approaches to scholarship on culture, the
experiences of what it means to interact with America(ness) as an identity or
positionality vary in great number. Thus, the theme of this year’s conference,
“Examining the American Experience,” is meant to inspire work on the notion of
how one’s various facets of identity affect the experiences one has in American
society. There is no right or wrong approach and no hierarchy of prominence
within cultural studies scholarship (unlike in American society at-large).
Proposals will be accepted through September 3rd.
All proposal materials should be emailed to uaamsconference@gmail.com.
Afrofuturism:
Diasporic Visions
College Language Association 2020 Convention, April 1-4,
2020, University of Memphis
Throughout the history of the African diaspora, Black
peoples have used literature, language, and popular culture to liberate Black
communities from sources of cultural and political oppression. But, as Mark
Dery points out in his 1994 essay, “Black to the Future,” “The notion of
Afrofuturism gives rise to a troubling antinomy: Can a community whose past has
been deliberately rubbed out, and whose energies have subsequently been
consumed by the search for legible traces of its history, imagine possible
futures?” (180). To interrogate these very issues and the ways in which the
domains of literature, language, and popular culture have since become
psychosocial spaces for envisioning Black futures in ways that would otherwise
have been stamped out by enslavement, discrimination, segregation, and more,
the College Language Association (CLA) invites papers, panels, roundtables, and
workshops.
Proposals are Due September 15, 2019
Threshold,
Boundary, and Crossover in Fantasy
York, UK, 12th-13th March 2020
We invite proposals for 20-minute papers on the subject of
‘threshold, boundary, and crossover’ in fantasy. Creative interpretation of the
theme is encouraged, and particular precedence will be given to papers looking
at interdisciplinarity in fantasy studies. We wish to push the limits of how we
interpret and understand fantasy as a categorical term, interrogating the idea
put forward by art historian Walter Schurian that ‘the fantastic can also be
found in other fields of art, such as literature, architecture, music and film;
fantastical tendencies and currents can even be observed in the natural
sciences, for example in the form of unusual, chance opinions and theories.’
To submit a proposal, please send (in one document) a
biography of c. 100 words and a paper abstract of no more than 400 words
to fantasythreshold2020@gmail.com by
September 13th 2019. Queries can be directed to this email
address also.
Graduate
Conference in the Humanities: Trailblazers, Innovations, Movements, Epochs
University of Nebraska-Lincoln, March 13-14, 2020
This conference aims to encourage scholars to examine
ordinary people who drove local, regional, national, or global social
movements; intellectual and disciplinary innovations that continue to influence
our lives today; and memory of past epochs that are due for critical
revisitation. Applicants may choose to pursue one thematic component, or
critically examine a topic through the lens of multiple elements of the
theme.
All submissions should be emailed to rawleyconference.unl@gmail.com by December
15, 2019
Who
Owns Palestine?
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/4448402/ndps-2020-call-papers-who-owns-palestine
We are pleased to share with you this public call for papers
for the seventh annual workshop of New Directions in Palestinian Studies (NDPS)
to be held at Brown University on March 6–7, 2020. The theme title “Who Owns
Palestine?” addresses a wide range of issues ranging from the political economy
of land and other forms of property to competing notions of territorial rights
and contestations over historical narratives. As with all NDPS workshops,
proposals that put Palestinians at the center of the analysis are encouraged.
We seek explorations of Palestinian experiences of different historical periods
and locations—past and present, urban and rural, throughout historic Palestine
and outside it—from the perspectives of various academic disciplines, as well
as practitioners such as lawyers, urban planners, and artists.
proposal deadline: November 4, 2019
Indigeneity,
Coloniality, Identity
The editors of the Journal of the Canadian Historical
Association invite submissions for papers on “Indigeneity, Coloniality,
Identity,” to be delivered as a panel at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian
Historical Association, 1-3 June, 2020, at Western University in London,
Ontario, Canada. We welcome papers that focus on any time period and
geographical location, from both early career researchers and established
scholars. Papers will be 20 minutes in length and may be delivered in either
English or French.
Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words along
with a CV of 1-2 pages to Mairi Cowan, atmairi.cowan@utoronto.ca,

Recovering
the US Hispanic Literary Heritage
February 20-22, 2020, University of Houston-Downtown
This conference foregrounds the work of Latinas that focuses
on women’s rights, suffrage and education as we usher in a new phase of
feminist critical genealogies. We seek papers, panels and posters in either
English or Spanish that highlight these many contributions, but also offer us
critical ways to rethink issues of agency, gender, sexualities, race/ethnicity,
class and power. Of particular interest are presentations about digital humanities
scholarship, methods and practices on these themes.
Submit your 250-word abstract for presentations/posters and
vitae by email to recovery@uh.edu by August
31, 2019.
The
Inclusive Academic: Strategies for Maintaining Balance in a Changing Academic
World
March 12 & 13, 2020
Join us for the eighteenth annual Teaching Matters
conference, an interdisciplinary teaching and learning Higher Ed conference
hosted by Gordon State College in Barnesville, Georgia. As conscientious
educators, we put student success above all else, working diligently to be
engaging teachers, but we cannot do so from a place of exhaustion, anger, or
boredom. This year’s conference asks the
question “How do we stay on the cutting edge of scholarship in teaching and
learning and in our individual disciplines and not find ourselves on the edge
of a breakdown?” Session presenters will
offer strategies and approaches for cultivating professional growth while
ensuring life balance, for creating inclusive spaces for our students while
also navigating the waters of campus politics and culture, for keeping teaching
fresh while juggling service responsibilities.
How do you keep the balance?
All proposals must be received by January 17, 2020

After
‘Emancipation’: The legacies, afterlives and continuation of slavery
University of Nottingham, 21-23 June 2020.
Throughout slavery’s long history, from the ancient world
through to the present, there have been numerous moments of individual, group
and political ‘emancipations’ and abolitions. These might have occurred via
formal abolition, manumission, through enslaved people running away, or through
rebellions and revolts. Yet today, despite living in a world which is
internationally legally post-slavery, millions of people continue to be
exploited under modern slavery.
Within this climate, this conference looks to explore what
emancipation meant to the formerly enslaved (whether legally chattels or
otherwise), and what that ‘freedom’ might have looked like. Emancipation here might mean formal abolition
of slavery, manumission, rebellions, running away or escaping.
Please submit abstracts of no more than 300 words to afteremancipation@gmail.com by
the deadline of Friday 1st November 2019.
Material/Immaterial:
The Lives (and Afterlives) of Objects
1-3 April 2020, Newcastle University and Northumbria
University, UK
The obdurate materiality of the works we study are both lost
and found, past and present. Equally important, they are embedded to varying
degrees with the lives of their makers, carrying their own narratives across
time and space in ways that are often difficult to untangle from the stories of
people who produced them. Perhaps scholars needn’t shy away from their desires
to recapture the ineffable that imaginative endeavours offer. What, for
instance, makes one object forgettable and another arresting? There’s a
difference, both psychoanalysts and connoisseurs say, between an ordinary
object and an evocative one, but the aforementioned questions are open to other
sociocultural, anthropological, and theoretical inquiries. This panel explores
dialogues between material and materiality while engaging with issues of making
viewed through the lenses of history, theory, and practice.
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: 21 Oct. 2019

Race,
Ethnicity, and Architecture in the Nation’s Capital
Saturday, April 18, 2020, at The Catholic University of
America
Governments and private developers have employed built
environments to control and regulate racialized bodies. Through the systemic
planning of residential and commercial districts, public spaces, and transit,
they ensured the growth of isolated enclaves whose economic health varied based
on inhabitants’ race. Historically-specific understandings of race have
likewise shaped the design and construction of the capital’s architecture, for
example influencing the development of various building typologies, ranging from
embassies and museums to shopping centers. The 13th Latrobe Chapter Biennial
Symposium therefore calls for a timely investigation of the symbiotic
relationship between race and architecture in the greater Washington, DC
region. It conceptualizes race broadly, not as an issue of binaries, but rather
of corporeal hierarchies that meaningfully structure the design and experience
of architectural and urban spaces.
Please send a one-page, 350-word abstract of a 20-minute
paper and 1-2 page curriculum vitae by August 1, 2019 to vyta.baselice@gmail.com.
People’s
History? Radical Historiography and the Left in the Twentieth Century
15 and 16 February 2020, University of East Anglia
History has always played a crucial role in the making of
the modern left, both in Britain and around the world, providing a vital tool
for theoretical rationale, social critique and direct action. Whilst offering
an important source of intellectual stimulus, it has equally been the cause of
hot debate, controversy and division, never more so than during the twentieth
century. Over the course of those ten tumultuous decades, history became the
ground upon which the left struggled to define and redefine itself in response to
dramatically changing times. Critique was, and continues to be,
all-encompassing, from debates on historical interpretation, method, pedagogy
and application, to questions addressing the very nature – or possibility – of
historical knowledge itself.
For further details and updates please visit the conference
website on https://shspeopleshistory.wordpress.com.
Proposals for papers and any enquiries should be submitted via the website or
by e-mail to the organisers on shspeopleshistory@gmail.com.
The deadline for submitting proposals is Friday 29 November 2019.
Memories
of Loss, Dreams of Solidarity
University of Edinburgh, 30th of January to 1st of February
2020
The conference examines intricate processes of political
memory-formation in the wake of systemic political violence. It invites
reflection on competing national mythologies, their affective modalities,
genres and material instantiations. We also welcome analyses of critical
artistic interventions, in particular in relation to their ability to reveal
the ambiguities and complexities of political violence and to sketch images of
alternative futures. The goal is to displace the predominant victim-perpetrator
binary, challenge linear political visions of transcending the past and nurture
visions of solidarity that remain deeply anchored in the murky terrain of past
complicities and resistances. We aim to bring together perspectives from
political theory, memory studies, art, history, transitional justice,
literature and film to interrogate the risks and potentials involved in
remembering histories of violence and loss.
The deadline for paper abstracts is 30 September 2019.
A Third Museum Is Possible: Towards a Decolonial Curatorial
Practice
CAA2020, Chicago, February 12 - 15, 2020
This roundtable considers la
paperson’s call to action as it may be found in the settler colonial technology
of the exhibitionary space. How can we think through these questions in
relationship to art history’s exclusionary past and present? What futures are
we building, and for whom? How have artists like Jaune Quick-to-See Smith,
Ja'Tovia Gary, Adrian Piper, or Titus Kaphar engaged with these questions,
futures, and imaginations? As Joanne Barker reminds us, “Art is part of the
struggle to reclaim a future that is not about the future at all but a present
in which Indigenous territories, stories, bodies, and sensualities are
unoccupied and uncivilized: I want to live there; that is where I live.” In
amplifying this world vision, we ask: How has settler colonialism framed our
understanding of the museum, the exhibition of art, and the production of art
historical scholarship?
To apply, please send by Tuesday,
July 23, 2019, a 250-word abstract and your current CV (no more than 2 pages)
to the session chair, Anni Pullagura, at anni_pullagura@brown.edu.
Transing
Academia: Scholarship for Social Change
A Transdisciplinary Graduate Symposium, Drew University,
Madison NJ, 28 February 2020
In times of social unrest, political change, and extremist
ideologies, the work of critically examining social issues through a scholarly
lens is more critical than ever. Despite the perceived chasm between the
so-called “ivory tower” and the “real world,” this symposium refutes the notion
that historical scholarship, cultural studies, religious studies or educational
training have no direct relevance to broader society. Instead, this symposium
seeks to put these creative, intellectual, and professional studies in direct
conversation with social issues.
Deadline for Submissions is 15 December 2019.
Submissions should be submitted via the online form at https://forms.gle/oPx6PoV6Jt4Sdadh6 .
Please contact the symposium organizer Becca Miller at rmiller@drew.edu with
any questions.
Representations
of Disability in Science Fiction
NeMLA 2020 - Boston March 5-8, 2020.
The progressive technologies and futuristic perspectives at
the heart of most science fiction are in many ways a natural fit with a more
progressive understanding of disability. Science fiction texts typically
grapple with concepts such as transhumanism, embodiment, and autonomy more
directly than do those of other genres, and in doing so they raise significant
questions about the experience of disability; more broadly, they often convey
the place of disability in not only the future but also the world of today.
With this panel, we will explore what science fiction texts—defined broadly to
include written text as well as newer media—convey about the value of
disability, whether it be through disabled characters, biotechnologies, or,
more broadly, conceptions of an idealized future. Panelists are invited to
consider not only those examples from science fiction which advance disability
representation but also those which may compromise or discount it. Through
these presentations we can hope to explore the ways that science fiction has
often been a champion genre for disability representation, as well as what it
can tell us about the work still left to do.
Abstracts of 250-300 words should be submitted directly
through the NeMLA portal: https://www.cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/17986
Please direct any questions to Courtney Stanton at cebs@newark.rutgers.edu.
Visibility
of the Invisible: The Idea, Theory, and Ontology of Trace
NeMLA 2020 - Boston March 5-8, 2020.
This panel invites proposals to examine the notion, theory,
idea, and ontology of trace and the ways in which it can be employed in
literature, critical theory, image studies, art, film, and other media and
disciplines. This panel invites proposals to examine the notion, theory, idea
and ontology of trace and the ways in which it can be deployed in literature,
image studies, visual arts, film, art history and theory, and seeks to discuss:
how can we or can we conceptualize trace? How can it be (or can it be) used as
a critical tool to analyze works of art and literature? Can we speak of the
ontology of trace? What role does art, textual practices and images play in our
understanding of the trace?
Deadline for abstracts (max. 500 words): September 30, 2019.

Constellations:
Connections, Disruptions, and Imaginations in Cinema and Beyond
October 10-11, 2019, University of Southern California
Constellations are created when mapping and charting geographies,
struggles, and movements. This allows one to rethink how their positionality
and temporality link and relate disparate spaces, objects, and peoples. For
example, sentient and non-sentient beings have formed their own social
constellations, creating networks, circles, communities, and support systems.
One can argue that media creates its own constellations, especially when
mediums rely on other media systems: transmedia, intermedia, social media, and
“cloud” sharing devices. The First Forum 2019 organizing committee welcomes
papers, artwork, and creative projects that expand, complicate, and reconsider
the metaphor of constellations in relation to sound and moving images. Papers
outside the field of cinema and media are strongly encouraged.
Deadline: Wednesday, July 31, 2019 by 11:59 p.m.
The
Present and Future of Intersectionality: Controversies, Challenges,
Transformations and Opportunities
24th to 26th June 2020 at the University of Kent in England
Intersectionality has undoubtedly transformed the way
feminist research is conducted, and has become “an institutionalized
intellectual project, and the dominant tool for excavating the voices of the
marginalized” (Nash 2008, p. 13). However, there is talk of intersectionality
having run its course, with some scholars referring to a post-intersectionality
turn (see Chang & Culp, 2002). This post-intersectionality narrative has
its roots primarily on the critique of intersectionality’s apparent inability
to “grapple with subjects who occupy multiple social positions and those with
“partially privileged” identities in particular” (Cho, 2013:388). At the same
time, the post-intersectionality turn speaks to the particularities and
challenges of the present socio-cultural and political moment, and its conceptual,
theoretical and empirical implications for scholars and organizations.

PUBLICATIONS
Indigenous
Research of Land, Self, and Spirit
Chapters will include current indigenous research across
disciplines for critical inquiry of land cultures and/or of the constructs of
land as self, land as agency, self, and/or spirt. Researchers using
self-as-subject and arts-based research methods would be encouraged to explore
recurrent generational implications and ongoing challenges with land
dispossession, relocation, reacquisition, governmental influences, and economic
impacts to contemporary indigenous land cultures. Land tenure, voice and land
dispossession, freedom as ownership, and the culture of self and spiritual
development amid land cultures align with the text focus and may include land
dispossession as part of the African diaspora, aboriginal communities, First
Nations, and Native American communities. Specific chapters are requested from
the perspectives of critical, feminist/intersectional, or heuristic
perspectives.

RuPedagogies
of Realness: Teaching and Learning in RuPaul’s Drag Race and its Paratextual
Cultures
Whether it is from quirky post-secondary puns in the first
season of RuPaul’s Drag Race (when RuPaul introduces a mini challenge to the
competing queens with “Well hello, students. Professor Ru here. It’s time for a
little pop quiz”), or to Oprah’s message to RuPaul on the tenth season’s Grand
Finale episode where she congratulates the accomplishment of Drag Race’s
influence and its “role in fostering a global message of inclusion and
accepting individuals for just being their authentic selves,” it is undeniable
that RuPaul’s Drag Race has, over the past decade, changed the cultural
landscape we live in. We invite abstracts for chapters on RuPaul, RuPaul’s Drag
Race, and the paratextual cultures surrounding them both, broadly construed.
Chapters on or connected to intersections of RuPaul, RuPaul’s Drag Race, and
Pedagogy, Education, and/or SoTL (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning) are
particularly encouraged.

The
AIDS Crisis is Not Over
This issue of the Radical History Review will examine the
politics of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This moment of peril and possibility calls
out for new histories of HIV/AIDS. Although people of color, women, and the
poor are significantly overrepresented among those affected by HIV/AIDS, they
are underrepresented in historical scholarship on the pandemic. By placing the
disease in historical perspective, we hope to better understand crises of
health inequity in a neoliberal global age, as well as the sites and modes of
resistance that activists and advocates have carved out in this context.

Archives
Full Bleed, an annual print and online journal of art and
design, seeks submissions for its fourth issue, forthcoming in Spring 2020. For
issue four, we are especially interested in submissions that critique,
investigate, or rely on archives of various kinds. We seek new writing about
artists working with, playing with, re-contextualizing, or elevating archival
materials; art or design projects responsive to historical documents; and
essays, fictions, and poetry related to the work of archiving. In addition to
feature-length essays of up to 7,500 words, Full Bleed publishes shorter,
recurring columns of approximately 800–2,000 words.
Please send previously unpublished work along with a brief
biography and cover letter through the form at https://www.full-bleed.org/submit by 1 January 2020.
The
Postcolonial Novel, Post-9/11
As we approach the twentieth anniversary of 9/11, this
special issue of Studies in the Novel
invites contributors to address how the postcolonial novel, broadly construed,
has been shaped by and in turn responded to the events of 9/11. Even as we
extend this call, we want our interlocutors to have a critical stance toward
our framing of the topic—is 9/11 an appropriate historical marker of global
relevance or does it exhibit a US-centric worldview? Is the designation
postcolonial still the most effective marker for cultural production post-9/11
when the “colonialism” that it often refers to is overwhelmingly marked by a
previous era?
Questions and submissions should be sent to studiesinthenovel@unt.edu. The
submissions deadline is 1 December 2019.
Transnationalizing
Homonationalism
This issue of Feral Feminisms seeks contributions that build
on and reimagine existing scholarship on transnational homonationalism, and
asks:
- How does homonationalism
emerge outside of and in relation to the US?
- How do whiteness,
anti-Blackness, and/or Orientalism manifest transnationally in relation to
the intersection of race and queerness?
- How can settler
homonationalism be theorized transnationally? How do discourses and practices
of queer inclusion, homonormativity, and LGBTQ rights reinscribe and
regenerate settler colonial ideologies and practices in a transnational
context?
- How are trans politics

Representations
of Black Motherhood and Photography
Contemporary books on motherhood and photography often lack
attention paid to Black mothers. When the topic of Black motherhood is examined
in academic scholarship, it often does not address a crucial missing component
- visual representation and analysis of the Black mother in pictures. This edited collection gives voice to the
intersection of photography, Black motherhood and the ways in which Black
mothers have navigated gender, race, and class.
By widening the lens of motherhood to include work made about and made
by Black women and mothers while simultaneously examining the interlocking
systems of race, gender and class, Representations of Black Motherhood and
Photography disrupts overriding narratives of Black mothers in our social
discourse, and creates space for this important junction to occupy this
terrain.
Submission Guidelines: Submissions are due Monday,
September 16th, 2019. Proposals should be sent as a PDF to WomenPictruingRevolution@gmail.com and
should include a 250-300 word abstract, title, author's name, address,
telephone number, email address and affiliation.
The
creative power of margins: the rise of black, native, and mixed-race
intellectuals in the Americas, 19th-20th centuries
African American historians of the 19th and early 20th
centuries were located at the margins of their society, of scholarly
institutions and of book trade networks. To a certain extent, these adverse
conditions led them to search for new sources—thus they used oral history well
before their white counterparts did—and imagine pioneering ways to break into
print. To get their work (slave narratives, essays, novels) printed and
circulated, they resorted to various means, such as self-publishing,
subscription publishing, marketing and sale of the printed work by the author.
The issue means to examine the emergence of native, black, and mixed-race
intellectuals in the Americas, looking at different countries and their
specificities, while exploring issues of genre, and processes of creation and
publication of works of fiction or nonfiction.
The authors should send in abstracts of 500 words maximum
and a short biographical notice by October 15, 2019 to:

LGBTIQ+
migration on, from and to the African continent
This edited collection seeks to contribute to this urgent
scholarly conversation by bringing together diverse inputs on topics related to
LGBTIQ+ migration on, from and to the African continent. We have a particular
interest in what happens when borders, sexualities, genders, identities,
languages and mobilities come up against the histories, trajectories, futures
and imaginaries of what Mbembe (2007) calls the ‘geographical accident’ that is
Africa. The collection aims to reflect on what it means to do research with, on
and perhaps for migrant LGBTIQ+ bodies, particularly at a time when global
contestations around human rights have initiated a new ‘scramble’ – this time
for evidence of homo/trans/xenophobia on the African continent. We welcome
contributions that go beyond simplistic narratives of persecution and instead
explore how LGBTIQ+ migrants, refugees and asylum seekers subvert
hetero-patriarchal norms, forge solidarity networks, negotiate care and
protection structures, develop livelihood strategies and carve out spaces
within landscapes of abandonment.
13 September: expressions of interest – short abstract
(200-250 words) and a biography (150 words)
Black Privacy
We invite contributions that traverse disciplinary,
geographical, spatial, and political boundaries not to fix a specific
definition of black privacy or to insist (one way or another) on its
transhistorical or political value, but rather to grapple with the various ways
in which blackness has been defined and experienced as/at the limit of privacy.
This special issue of The Black Scholar seeks
to mine the tenacious hold that privacy continues to have on Black people and
Black life and to query the meanings, contours, functions and utility of “Black
privacy” in ways that are attentive to both its capaciousness and import.
All manuscript submissions are due by January 15th, 2020.
To submit articles, please go to http://www.editorialmanager.com/rtbs.
Discourses
on Sustainability: Climate Change, Clean Energy, and Justice
This book will bring together researchers to analyze
environmental issues and sustainability. Climate change was recognized as an
urgent problem by the United Nations; the Paris Agreement aims at strengthening
the global response to the threat of global warming. Climate-related risks to
health, security, water supply, and economic growth will be discussed. We also
seek contributions on philosophical questions related to renewable energy
development and climate change mitigation, such as ethics, social justice,
equality, human rights, etc. When confronting environmental problems, questions
of fairness, equity, and justice are of great importance.
Please submit your CV and an abstract (approximately 300
words) to Dr. Dmitry Kurochkin dkurochk@tulane.edu and/or
Dr. Elena Shabliyeshabliy@tulane.edu.

“This
is not Normal:” Trumpism, Ineffectiveness as Governance and the Unending
Campaign
Fast Capitalism is seeking critical essays for possible
inclusion in a symposium about the changing dynamics of US politics during the
Trump administration ahead of the 2020 election cycle. The goal is to gather
both scholarly essays and political commentaries in time to present careful
critical studies of the changing political realities in the United States since
the 2016 national elections as well as the 2018-midterm electoral contests. We
seek papers that address Trump’s impact on governance, discourse, and
democracy. We are in interested in reviewing submissions in a number of forms
including: scholarly research essays, commentaries, polemics, policy proposals,
biographies, etc.
Please send proposals to David Arditi (darditi@uta.edu)
no later than October 1.
Usable
Pasts
Places Journal is seeking articles that tell relevant
histories of the built and natural environments and argue for their meaning and
value as usable pasts. Most immediately our call is prompted by the
Congressional resolution, introduced earlier this year by Representative
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Edward Markey, charging the federal
government to create a Green New Deal. That this statement of guiding principles
has already attracted enormous enthusiasm underscores the widespread desire for
bold public programs that would tackle the interrelated crises of climate
change and economic inequality.
We are also aware that historical achievements that might
seem obvious or inevitable would not have happened without inexhaustible
grass-roots activism and pragmatic political negotiation and maybe even painful
compromise. And we’re aware too that some pasts might be unusable. So we are
especially interested in articles that will not only recount vital histories
but also reflect upon exactly why a particular past might be usable, and how,
in Brooks’s terms, it might be placed in the service of the future.
This is an open call with no time limit and no restrictions
on genre or format.
Technically
Yours: Technicity, Mediality, and the Stakes of Experience
Ex-Position
is
publishing two issues on the theme Technically Yours: Technicity, Mediality,
and the Stakes of Experience
For better or worse, at this juncture in history we need no
reminder as to the centrality of technology: technology easily stands as the
paramount medium relaying tales about the contemporary world; or, according to
many, technology is the very story that now textures our times. Presumably
bound up closely, queries about technology, technics or technicity and those
about media, mediation or mediality do not always engage with the critical
vocabulary of the other strand. To make matters thornier, the relation among
the concepts within each set is never one of congruity. We are interested in
the critical and theoretical ramifications revolving around these concept
clusters and, further, in the configurations of experience thus emerging. For
postlapsarian creatures like ourselves, stories about experience always seem to
come in medias res, with the cause proper withheld from us. To what extent,
then, can a joint consideration of technicity and mediality help to advance our
thinking of the human condition?
Issue No. 43: Publication Date June 2020 // Submission

Love
The ninth issue of On_Culture focuses on
the concept of love, seeking to address its role in political struggles,
cultural theories, and artistic expression. As a concept simultaneously central
and marginalized within the humanities and the arts, love has been theorized in
various and often contradictory ways. It has been seen as both oppressive and
liberational; on the one hand, serving political and economic agendas and, on
the other hand, as itself conducive to solidarity within political action. It
is the goal of this issue of On_Culture to open-up the
complexity presented by “love” and its relevance to cultural discourses within
academic debates, the political present and its horizons.
Please submit an abstract of 300 words with the article
title and a short biographical note to content@on-culture.org (subject
line “Abstract Submission Issue 9”) no later than 15 September, 2019.
Octavia
Butler and Afrofuturism Edited Collection
A founding voice of Afrofuturism, Octavia E. Butler
challenged and reframed the hegemonic understandings of identity, history, and
even territory in her fiction, employing a literary arsenal of aliens, mutants,
vampires, time travelers, and new religions. This collection brings together
essays specifically exploring Afrofuturist themes in Butler’s oeuvre, such as
her unique approach to transculturation and her use of the generic conventions
of science fiction to subvert Western humanist ways of considering and
understanding the world.
Abstracts of no more than 500 words and a brief CV should be
e-mailed to the editors, Lilith Acadia (Trinity College Dublin) and Ji Hyun Lee
(Cornell University) at oebutlerbook@gmail.com as
Microsoft Word documents no later than August 15, 2019.
Autistic
Representation & Engagement in Media Narratives.
Representation in media is a critical issue for Autistic
people. Whilst there is increasingly an acknowledgement of Autism with film and
television, the way it is depicted can be controversial. Often Autistic voices
are ignored, and not involved in the production of these texts. Children's
television cartoon Pablo stars an
Autistic boy and has Autistic voices involved with the production. The stage
play All in a Row used a creepy
puppet to represent an Autistic child and created a great deal of controversy
on social media, including protests from Autistic people. Netflix series Atypical has had mixed reactions due to
its perceived stereotypical representations. This is a preliminary call for
papers and proposals for an edited collection using a broad range of approaches
in the exploration of both Autistic representation and engagement within media
texts.
Proposals and abstracts of approximately 300 words with a
short bio can be submitted to Mark Richard Adams by 30th November 2019, at drmarkrichardadams@gmail.com.
Populism
in the Postcolony
Kairos: A Journal of Critical Symposium
Since the 2008 global economic crisis populist politics have
become a dominant mode of mass mobilization at both ends of the political
spectrum; the far right and the radical left.The collective desire for a strong
leader or the ‘colonial potentate’ – to borrow Achille Mbembe’s term – in the
postcolony is often held culpable for the rise and fall of a spate of populist
dictatorships in Africa, Asia and Latin America. In the wake of such epistemic
crises, political mimery and discursive ruptures on both sides of the Atlantic,
how could the rise of populist political figures in the postcolony – Narendra
Modi of India, Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, Hugo Chávez of Venezuela,
Andrés Obrador of Mexico, Mahinda Rajapaksa of Sri Lanka, Jair Bolsonaro of
Brazil, to name a few – be conceptualized? Is there a contagious element to
populism that defies our established understandings – if any – of public sphere
and political behaviour? This special issue invites original contributions that
shed light on the nature of populism, its ideologies and leadership in the
postcolony, both from national and transnational perspectives.
Please send abstracts (400-500 words) to editorskairos@gmail.com by September
30, 2019.
African
Screen Worlds: An International Workshop
In September 2020, a three-day, fully-funded workshop will
be held at SOAS, University of London as part of the ERC-funded project
“African Screen Worlds: Decolonising Film and Screen Studies”. In the broadest
sense, the workshop is designed to facilitate and inspire collaborative
dialogue and work on creative African screen media texts and contexts among
scholars working in this field in different parts of the world and – in
particular – within Africa. To facilitate this, all transport, accommodation,
visa, and meal costs will be fully covered for the selected participants,
regardless of where they will be traveling from. In a more specific sense, the
focus of the event will be collectively workshopping and developing
pre-submitted chapters for publication in an edited volume titled African
Screen Worlds. There will be several inspiring keynote presentations by leading
African screen media scholars, practitioners and creative researchers.
Deadline: 15 January 2020

Leaving
and Living: Social and Cultural Dynamics of Migration in South Asia
Migration has been central to social formations across the
history. However, the discourse on migration predominantly conceptualizes
migration as exceptional moments in the life of a society caused by one or
another factor. In this schema, scholars try to convince us that people migrate
for push or pull factor or for a combination of these. These factors are then
further traced in the economic dynamics of societies. Broadly, a scenario
emerges in which staying in home is considered as normal, as routine and
leaving home becomes extra-ordinary, abnormal and a rupture in the rhythm of
social life. Such binaries then enable home a privileged epistemic location. An
attempt to move away from such dominant understandings of migration, proposed
volume will focus on the centrality of migration in the making of the society.
It aims to foreground social and cultural dynamics of migration in historical
perspective. The volume further intends to emphasize north India but we are not
rigid about geography as migration fundamentally defies geographical
boundaries.
Interested contributors are requested to contact editors
(Sadan Jha <sadanjha@gmail.com> and Pushpendra

with title, abstract and a brief bio sketch of author/s at the earliest (latest

The
AIDS Crisis is Not Over
This issue of the Radical History Review will examine the
politics of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. While it has been almost forty years since
doctors first identified the disease in 1981, new HIV infections are increasing
in areas stricken by poverty and violent conflict. People with HIV/AIDS also
face new threats from the Trump administration, which threatens to gut key
programs that provide care and treatment, both in the United States and in the
Global South.
This moment of peril and possibility calls out for new
histories of HIV/AIDS. Although people of color, women, and the poor are
significantly overrepresented among those affected by HIV/AIDS, they are
underrepresented in historical scholarship on the pandemic. By placing the
disease in historical perspective, we hope to better understand crises of
health inequity in a neoliberal global age, as well as the sites and modes of
resistance that activists and advocates have carved out in this context.
By September 1, 2019, please submit a 1-2 page abstract
summarizing the article you wish as an attachment to contactrhr@gmail.com
Pride
and Shame in America
In June 2019, Stonewall 50 marked the largest LGBTQ+ event
in history. Half a century ago, after the NYPD raids on the Stonewall Inn, a
resistance movement that had loudly proclaimed ‘Gay Pride’ was born. The year
before, James Brown had urged African Americans to “say it loud, I’m black and
I’m proud.” Ever since, activists and scholars in these movements have welcomed
the community-building that social formations rooted in pride have fostered,
while, at the same time, backlash against the increased visibility of such
disenfranchised groups has appropriated this terminology as well, for instance
in the supremacist slogans ‘white pride’ or ‘straight pride.’
For its thirteenth issue, aspeers dedicates its topical
section to “Pride and Shame in America” and invites European graduate students
to critically and analytically explore American literature, (popular) culture,
society, history, politics, and media through the lens of pride and shame in
the US. We welcome papers from all disciplines, methodologies, and approaches
comprising American studies (and related fields).
We welcome term papers, excerpts from theses, or papers
specifically written for the thirteenth issue of aspeers by October 27, 2019
Health,
Healing and Caring
This Special Issue will explore the gendered history of
healing and caring from the perspective of the sick and suffering, and various
types of healers and caregivers. It aims to move beyond institutional histories
of biomedicine, canonical medical knowledge, and allopathic approaches to
health. We seek to showcase research that reflects upon the gendered dynamics
of palliative care and the formation of diverse communities and economies of
health and healing. We recognize that historical reckonings of health and
bodily knowledge in many locales have been dominated by sources maintained in
state, colonial, and missionary archives, and by notions of medicine shaped in
white settler institutions. In an effort to destabilize these reckonings and to
uncover marginalized forms of knowledge and practice, we encourage research
informed by diverse methodologies and an imaginative approach to source
material.
Interested individuals are asked to submit 500-word
abstracts, a brief biography (250 words), and a cv by 31 August 2019 at 5pm PDT
for consideration.
Digital
Pedagogies
The theme for the Spring 2020 issue of Teaching Currents is
“Digital Pedagogies.” With their proliferation, diversification, and
ever-growing importance in students’ lives, digital technologies present a
limitless horizon of opportunities and challenges for educators. As emerging
technologies disrupt established spaces, dynamics, and institutions of
learning, it becomes ever more urgent for instructors to reflect critically on
how to incorporate digital tools and mediums into pedagogical practices.
We welcome both individual and group submissions. All
submissions must be original, previously unpublished work and, if based in a
particular academic discipline, must explicitly consider their relevance and
applicability to other disciplines and classroom settings.
Deadline: December, 15, 2019
