interdisciplinary fields that it draws upon: literature; narratology; corpus
linguistics; onomastics; digital and spatial
humanities; geography; cartography; gaming. We welcome papers from those working in or
across these fields but also from anyone with an interest in the problematics
of mapping, visualising and analysing space, time and text from any

Feminist Pedagogies: A Graduate Student Conference
This conference, hosted by UCSB’s Women’s Center and
sponsored by the Feminist Studies Department, invites individual papers and
panel proposals on the topic of feminist pedagogies in an effort to provoke
thorough and nuanced conversation about revolutionary feminist teaching
practices on and off campus. TAs, RAs, and GAs are uniquely positioned in the
university structure as both educators and members of the student body, and
thus are especially insightful about cutting-edge pedagogies that best serve
incoming classes of undergraduate students. This conference aims, too, to be a
site for the sharing of resources and experiences, the proposing of intriguing
questions, and the imagining of feminist futures in learning. Proposals on
feminist pedagogy in secondary and primary education, as well as higher
education, are encouraged.
Please submit your
proposals via Google Forms no later than March 6, 2020
Ethnic Studies 2020 Conference
The Department of Ethnic Studies at Bowling Green State
University, Ohio, is excited to host the 2020 Association for Ethnic Studies
conference. We invite proposals for papers and panels on all topics related to
ethnic studies and social justice activism. Beyond the immediacy of national
politics in November of 2020, this is also a moment to think about and
understand the changing nature of activism in the 21st century. Nearly a decade
will have passed since the days of Occupy, seven years since the murder of
Trayvon Martin and the uprising of Black Lives Matter, six years since Michael
Brown and Ferguson, five years since Freddie Grey and Baltimore, four years
since Standing Rock, three years since Charlottesville, two years since Occupy
ICE began in Portland. Where will these movements stand at the crossroads of
November 2020?
Deadline for Proposals: March 15, 2020 to conferenceaes@gmail.com
Contact Email: tmesser@bgsu.edu
MLA Panels: Jan. 7-10, 2021, Toronto
Quare Souths Roundtable
As E. Patrick Johnson suggested in his article from 2001
entitled "'Quare' Studies, or (Almost) Everything I Know About Queer
Studies I Learned from My Grandmother," "'quare'...not only speaks
across identities, it articulates identities as well. 'Quare' offers a way to
critique stable notions of identity and, at the same time, to locate racialized
and class knowledges." Twenty years later, we ask whether southern studies
has yet to be fully "quare"-ed. For this roundtable, we seek papers
and innovative presentations that investigate--across genres and time periods--critical
intersections of racial and sexual politics in southern texts, broadly defined,
as connected to the presidential themes of MLA 2021—namely,
“persistence…endurance, survival, defiance, resistance, creating, and
flourishing.”
Please send a 250-word abstract and CV to Molly McGehee at mmcgehe@emory.edu by 15 March 2020.
Non-Traditional Graduate Students: Present Successes
& Future Possibilities
Opening up academia to a broader range of students than
those historically centered in an academic environment offers universities the
opportunity to embrace richer classroom discussions, unique perspectives, and a
far more diverse and healthy student body, but the position of non-traditional
students requires new and flexible approaches to academic engagement, financial
plans, and housing needs, to name just a few topics. This panel seeks to give voice to
non-traditional students and the faculty and staff that work with them to share
their experiences and discuss successful strategies for navigating higher
learning.
Please direct questions and submit proposals (no more than
500 words, please) to Kayla Forrest (kmforres@uncg.edu)
and Ariadne Wolf (arwolf@alumnae.mills.edu)
by March 7.
New Animism: Creativity and Critique
University of Leeds, 18–20 June 2020
The politics of new animism remains unclear. Does an ethics
of “respect” for more than human persons fall into the same relativist trap as
liberal multiculturalist forms of tolerance, leaving each “person” free to
practice his or her beliefs? Or does new animism call for fundamental changes
to the beliefs that currently structure our various relations to the world?
What might it mean, in practical terms, to follow the example of animists,
indigenous or otherwise? Is it possible to become an animist or is such a
desire a symptom of (post)modernist anomie, an ecological romanticization of
indigenous cultures, even a fetishization of fetishism?
This symposium sets out to explore, extend and critique new
animism. We welcome critical as well as creative, practice-led contributions.
Please send proposals (maximum 300 words) and short
biographies for 30-minute papers to Dominic O’Key and
Sam Durrant at animistengagements@gmail.com by 15 March 2020.
Life With and Without Animals: The second (Un)common
Worlds conference
14-16 July 2020, Derby
Our aim with this conference is to convey a sense of what
the interdisciplinary field of animal studies looks like in 2020, and we
welcome your contributions in support of this proposal. In recognition of the
20-year anniversaries of the first animal studies conferences, and in response
to developments within the field, we now invite proposals from all disciplines
and fields in response to our title, Life With and Without Animals.
Deadline: 13 March 2020

LGBTI & Queer Arts, Culture & Activisms
11th and 12th June 2020
In France, a few years after the law authorizing same-sex
marriage, LGBTQ associations are now facing new struggles, fighting for access
to assisted procreation or the creation of a communal archive center. Drawing
on these dynamics, this conference aims at interrogating the bonds between
LGBTQ forms of arts, cultures and activisms. We look forward to opening a space
for academics and grassroots activists, whether they be engaged in
institutional collectives or not, to exchange, reflect and dialogue.
LGBTQ-related topics appear to be often overlooked in French research networks.
We aim to make it more visible and richer, and make it dialogue with local,
national and international networks of academics and activists.
CfP Deadline: 28th February

Curating for Gender Parity: The Future of the Feminist
Exhibition
October 21-24, 2020, Richmond, Virginia
This session seeks papers that bridge theory and practice in
addressing how curators, scholars, and educators work together to produce
exhibitions that present artwork by women without reinforcing systemic
misogyny, racism, ethnocentrism, heteronormativity, and binary conceptions of
gender. What do inclusive and intersectional exhibition programming strategies
look like? How can feminist curating practices affect the programming and
acquisition policies at museums?

Supermodels of the World: RuPaul’s Drag Race as
International Phenomenon
University of Salford, UK, 25th September 2020
Since its 2009 debut, RuPaul’s Drag Race has shifted from a
niche American reality show anomaly to an award-winning global success. This

contest created in the UK, Thailand and Canada alongside, titular host, Rupaul
having already hinted at further growth when teasingly asking journalists “how
many countries are there?”
Please send abstracts by 1st May 2020 to Dr Danny
Cookney D.J.Cookney@salford.ac.uk

Graduate Art History Conference: Shared Spaces: Public
Art and its Audiences
University of California, Riverside, May 23rd, 2020
The Ninth Annual UC Riverside Art History Graduate Student
Conference will focus on the theme of public art and its reception and relation
to diverse audiences. Public art is transhistorical, including but not limited
to artistic programs at religious sites, graffiti art, ancient or modern
monuments, propaganda, ancient coinage, mural art, and social media. Through an
interdisciplinary approach to the issues and questions relating to public art
and its multicultural audiences, this conference aims to go beyond hegemonic
notions of what public art is. “Art” is taken to include not only the
traditional plastic arts but also, broadly, art objects, writings on art or art
objects, artistic ephemera, and performances. Through this conference, valuable
conversations will be generated about the ways art history might conceive of
the relation between public art and its diverse audiences.
Please email an abstract and a CV to ahgsa.ucr@gmail.com by Monday, March
16, 2020.
PUBLICATIONS
Racecraft: The Soul of Inequality in American Life
This Special Issue of Humanities seeks to explore the
intersections between the Fieldses’ concept of racecraft—the ensemble of
beliefs and practices that make and remake the social reality of race—and the
various forms of crafting, pretending, playing, fabulating, extrapolating,
cognitively estranging, and world-building in speculative culture. As a
super-genre or trans-generic category, the speculative stretches across science
fiction, fantasy, and horror, while also including practices such as role
playing and fan cultures. If race is already speculatively crafted, what
happens when racecraft meets the implausible, magical, fantastic, or weird in
speculative culture?
Send article proposals of 300–500 words to jesse.ramirez@unisg.ch and bryan.banker@gmail.com by 9 March
2020.
The Afterlives of Anticolonial Aesthetics
Special Issue Proposal for Interventions: International
Journal of Postcolonial Studies
This special issue will ask how anticolonial aesthetics have
been put to work and continue to be rethought and applied in ways that shape
non-canonical forms of visual and literary creativity. Our objective is to
examine how such forms of cultural productions have allowed for a redefinition
of the role of the artist/writer in recent mo(ve)ments that draw from
anticolonial aesthetics. The contemporary art vocabulary we commonly use to
deal with issues of collective creativity, artistic labor, creativity’s social
transformative role or art’s performative and activist potentiality owes much
to the complex climate of uncertainty and possibility that permeated
anticolonial experimentation (1940s-1960s) with alternative cultural forms.
Please send an abstract of 300 words to either Patrick
Crowley and Carlos Garrido Castellano by 15 April 2020.
Contact Email: carlos.garridocastellano@ucc.ie
Visual Culture of the Americas
The editorial committee for Hemisphere: Visual Culture of
the Americas seeks essays from graduate students for the 2020 issue. Volume 13
will center on the theme Cartographic Infrastructures: Mapping and the Graphic
Arts from 1500 to the Present. The editorial committee seeks scholarly essays
presenting interdisciplinary research that considers the ways in which the
spectrum of media—i.e. graphic arts, graphic design, infographics, pictographs,
and/or works on paper—thematically, conceptually, and formally intersect across
historical eras and political, ideological, and geological boundaries.
Each submission must be emailed by March 8th, 2020, to hmsphr@unm.edu.
Becoming Home: Diaspora and the Anglophone Transnational
This collection of essays on the literature or national
allegories (Jameson) of the diaspora and the transnational plans to explore the
sundry and geographically expansive ways Anglophone literatures by colonized
subjects and emigrants negotiate diasporic spaces to create what Benedict
Anderson sees as “imagined communities,” or what Homi Bhabha calls "home,
a place uncannily oscillating between estrangement and engagement. As such,
“Diasporic subjects are . . . distinct versions of modern, transnational,
intercultural experience” (Clifford). The diasporic experience/consciousness of
being at home abroad (Sheffer), here there, plays a role in the tensions
between nation and transnation in different cultural and socio-political
contexts.
Please submit a one-page proposal along with a brief bio no
later than 1 March 2020 to Jude V. Nixon (Jnixon@salemstate.edu)
and Mariaconcetta Costantini (mariaconcetta.costantini@unich.it).
Pedagogy
Bridging traditional academic scholarship with practical
pedagogy, the CEA Critic is the scholarly journal of the CEA. The journal
publishes scholarly articles that center on close readings of the
texts-fiction, poetry, drama, nonfiction, and film-that English professors
study and teach. In this way, the CEA Critic celebrates the importance of
literary criticism from a variety of approaches and the value of reading and
teaching familar and unfamiliar literary works. We are also interested in
articles that consider pedagogy from a theoretical perspective or engage issues
pertinent to all aspects of rhetoric and composition.
Please email submissions in Microsoft Word format to CRITICUNCO@gmail.com.
Questioning the Human: Posthuman accounts in Popular
Culture
Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies (LLIDS)
special issue
Two broadly anthropocene concerns—the ‘human’ condition
along with the condition of this human planet, Earth—bear on all discursive
practices central to contemporary areas of research in humanities, social
sciences, and sciences. Both these concerns reconfigure ways in which humans
have come to make sense of themselves and of the world which they share with
other forms of life. The anthropocene—ramifications of Cartesian vision of
human subject, the giver of meaning, that ultimately subdues all nature and
co-existing life-forms—however is challenged by a posthuman turn in the latter
half of 20th Century that trenchantly undercuts the foundations of humanism
catapulting from the set boundaries established by the ideal of Enlightenment. The
current Call for Papers invites original contributions to tease out the nuances
of posthumanist vision within popular culture.
You are welcome to submit full length papers on or before
15th April, 2020.
All necessary author guidelines can be found here – http://www.ellids.com/author-guidelines/.
Please email your submissions and queries to – llids.journal@gmail.com.
FEMINISM AND SUPERHEROES
Authors are invited to contribute to an edited volume on
transmedia and the female characters of the Marvel Universe. This collection
invites scholars to examine the relationship of these female superheroes and
their relationships with the changing and multifaceted nature of feminism over
the decades that the Marvel brand has existed.
The volume’s working title is Gendered Defenders: Female Superheroes in
Transmedia Spaces. The initial proposal
has been positively reviewed by a prominent university press and based upon our
feedback, we are expanding our initial concept and are looking for additional
contributors. Specifically, we welcome
unique insights into any female (binary and non-binary) character within the
Marvel Universe, coupled with perspectives on feminist theories and concepts as
they relate to the selected character.
If interested, please contact me at mcarstarphen@ou.edu and I will send you
more specific guidelines and benchmarks.
Fashion and Motherhood
The Fashion
Studies Journal (FSJ) is seeking contributions, in the form of complete
drafts, to a special series on Fashion and Motherhood to be published on our
site. Our content ranges from thoroughly researched scholarly essays to media
criticism to personal narratives to photo collections and poetry. This series
will ideally do the same, reflecting the infinity of ways that motherhood acts
upon the fashioned self. Theoretical, historical, ethnographic, personal
narrative, and creative perspectives are all welcome.
Article Deadline: April 30, 2020
Landscapes and aesthetic spatialities in the Anthropocene
In this issue of RANAM (Recherches anglaises et
nord-américaines), we would like to explore the idea of landscape and its
current relevance in the face of contemporary environmental challenges, inquire
whether and how we can still give aesthetic and artistic meaning to our
environment, but also examine the various ways in which the boundaries between
nature and culture may be renegotiated in the context of the Anthropocene. We
welcome contributions that focus on the English-speaking world, analysing
artistic representations or practices of space, as well as discourses on
landscapes.
Please send a proposal of up to 450 words and a short
bio (up to 150 words) to Sandrine Baudry (sbaudry@unistra.fr),
Hélène Ibata (hibata@unistra.fr )
and Monica Manolescu (manoles@unistra.fr)
by March 31st, 2020.
The Men and the Boys, Twenty Years on - Revisiting Raewyn
Connell's pivotal text
2020 will mark the twentieth anniversary of Raewyn Connell’s
highly influential text The Men and the Boys. In this special issue of Boyhood
Studies (Volume 13, Issue 2) we invite scholars to revisit the text prompted by
key themes from the book, highlighting where we are now in the field of boyhood
and young masculinities. By drawing on work from both the global north and
global south, the issue will enhance our contemporary understanding of boys and
young men’s practices as they negotiate pathways to adulthood.
Authors are asked to submit an abstract first and are
invited to do so no later than February 29, 2020
Please submit abstracts or direct questions to boyhoodstudies@gmail.com. More

2020 to blackrainbow2021@gmail.com.
Translation and Adaptation in Comics and Graphic Novels
The process of creating comics, already the result of the
collective effort of artists, writers, and editors, is further complicated by
the processes of adaptation and translation (outlined by scholars like Linda
Hutcheon and Ilaria Meloni), with new meanings being created out of the process
at large, meanings potential at odds with the intent of the creators'
intentions. To that end, this volume discusses the translation and adaptation
of comics and graphic narratives with an emphasis on transnational and digital
contexts.
Abstract and CV Due: 15 March 2020
Contact Email: adaptationcomics@gmail.com
Visual Archives of Sex
Radical History Review seeks contributors for a special
issue exploring the critical histories of visual archives of sex. In recent
years, increased access to visual archives and the proliferation of digitized
images related to sexuality have led a growing number of scholars to place
images and visual practices at the center of critical historical inquiries of
sexual desire, subjectivity and embodiment. At the same time, new critical
histories of sexual science serve both to expand the temporal and geographical
frames for investigating the historical relationships of sex and visual
production, and to generate new lines of inquiry and reshape visual studies
more broadly.
Abstract Deadline: June 1, 2020

What We Think About When We Think About Love: Call for
Submissions
This edited collection takes as a starting point bell
hooks’s assertion that "most of us find it difficult to accept a
definition of love that says we are never loved in a context where there is
abuse” (bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions, 2000), and asks, “is love possible
in the context of oppression?” This is an open call for writing in any
discipline on the subject of love. We encourage creative, cross-disciplinary
submissions, that need not take the form of a traditional essay, as long as
they bring the potential, commodification, weaponization, or liberation of love
into clearer view. We do not wish to limit the definition of diversity;
therefore, we actively encourage submissions from those who feel that their
modes of loving and understanding love are often overlooked.
Abstracts of 400 words, for 5,000-8,000 word submissions,
should be sent to theloveproject2020@gmail.com.
Gender Equity and Political Development
Gender inequality remains one of the most important
questions and a major barrier to human development; this interdisciplinary
volume discusses women’s global leadership and women’s rights advancement
around the globe. This book examines women’s leadership roles worldwide; it is
also a contribution to the growing field of leadership. We look at
cross-cultural examples and case studies of outstanding women and female
leaders. This book discusses contemporary leadership theories and obstacles to
women’s leadership.
Please submit your abstract, along with your CV, to dkurochk@tulane.edu and/or eshabliy@tulane.edu by March 27.

Counter Human Trafficking in Southeast Asia – Online
Course
Human trafficking is often described as the new form of
slavery for the 21st century. Despite difficulties in collecting data, recent
analyses confirm that it is a serious and ongoing problem in many areas and
much still needs to be done to prevent it, protect victims and ultimately
eradicate it. In recent years, work has been carried out on the impact of
counter trafficking, but more is needed on counter trafficking itself. This
online course is going to examine the programmes, practices and activities of
counter trafficking by analysing aspects such as raids and rescues, litigation,
organising, education. In particular, it will do so by looking at the specific
case of South-East Asia (SEA).
All our courses are free to audit. Course dates: from Early
2020, on a rolling basis.
