Abolition Studies
The Center for Mark Twain Studies at Elmira College is
hosting its annual Quarry Farm Symposium during the Fall 2022 semester, from
September 30th to October 1st, organized around the theme of Abolition Studies.
We seek to take an intentionally transhistorical approach to the field of
abolition studies through panels and discussions that attend to the long duree
of abolitionist thought, activism, and organizing from the 19th to the 21st
centuries. With this long history of mechanisms of captivity and modes of
radical resistance in mind, this symposium will emphasize the interconnecting
relationship between abolitionist movements working against the enduring
legacies of U.S. racism in carceral forms from the 19th to the 21st centuries.
Please send 300-word paper abstracts and either
a CV or biographical statement to Jesse A. Goldberg (jag525@cornell.edu) and Nancy K.
Quintanilla (nancyq@cpp.edu) by Jan 16,
2022.
Affecting Presence in
the World of Aesthetics
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/8382005/professor
March 18-19, 2022 Towson University
Imagine a world of aesthetics without objects. Imagine
presences without objects. A world devoid of objects would be a world devoid of
subjects. Such a world would be other than everyday familiar world. What would
be palpable would be affectring presednces, each of which is what it is by in
relation to other presences. Such presences would be ecstatic and would offer
limitless potential in their experiential influences. The conference is
intended to be a gathering of individuals who seek to share their experiences with each other.
Send abstracts of no less than 200 words to Murungi at <jmurungi@towson.edu>. The deadline for
submission is January 15, 2022.
New Perspectives on
Eugenics
Twitter Conference, January 31-February 4, 2022
Eugenics remains one of the most relevant topics in public
forums as well as scholarly publications across disciplines in the humanities,
social sciences, sciences, and medicine. Its past uses and present legacies
intersect with a multitude of themes (including but not limited to race,
gender, class, and nationality), and its political, social, cultural, and legal
repercussions still reverberate in a variety of themes such as disability, the
reproductive autonomy of individuals, and developments in new genetic
technologies. We invite proposals for a Twitter conference from all interested
academic disciplines covering any aspect of eugenics in the past or the
present. We highly encourage doctoral candidates and early career professionals
to apply.
All proposals must be submitted to editorial-eugenics@mail.h-net.org using
the subject line “Twitter Conference” no later than October 15, 2021.
Latinx Visions;
Speculative Worlds in Latinx Literature, Art, Performance, and Protest
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/8273376/latinx-visions
We invite proposals for “Latinx Visions,” a conference to be
held at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque on March 9-11, 2023. This
conference aims to generate a dialogue among scholars, authors, artists, and
community members who are engaging the burgeoning field of Latinx speculative
fiction, art, performance, and protest. To this end we are inviting proposals
for papers, author/artist talks, or performances which join diverse Latinx
visions with speculative worlds.
Those interested can send their proposals of 250 words along
with a short author-bio of 200 words to the organizers by November 1, 2021: Cathryn

And Still We Rise!:
Black Women Scholars in the Ebony Tower
Commemorating the 56th anniversary of the Higher Education
Act of 1965, the symposium highlights the educational journeys and professional
contributions of Black women scholars at HBCUs as defined by the Higher
Education Act of 1965. And Still We Rise also serves as a call for papers for a
forthcoming edited collection examining how Black women scholars at HBCU’s
define and maintain excellence in teaching, research, and service despite
nuanced struggles with the following: classism, colorism, ethnocentrism,
racism, regionalism, sexism, limited opportunities for advancement, less
competitive salaries, fewer resources, less research support, and limited
networking opportunities with outside institutions and organizations.
Abstracts for the November 8th virtual symposium are due
October 20, 2021.

Under-Mapped Spaces:
New Methods and Tools for Critical Storytelling with Maps
We are pleased to announce “Under-Mapped Spaces: New Methods
and Tools for Critical Storytelling with Maps,” an intensive, student-designed
workshop for emerging scholars. The workshop will be held from February
28-March 4, 2022 at Stanford University. Cartography continues to reproduce and
amplify global inequalities in the production of knowledge. Drawing on
Stanford’s rich map collections, this initiative aims to apply cutting-edge digital
tools to the creation of compelling, accessible, and ethical narratives about
“under-mapped” spaces. The five-day workshop presents an opportunity to use
that map to reexamine the politics of cartography, develop new digital skills
(ArcGIS, Leaflet, Wax), and explore innovative ways to incorporate critical
storytelling with maps for classroom and public audiences.
Please submit your application via this form by November
12, 2021.
If you have any questions, please contact the workshop
organizers at undermappedspacesworkshop@gmail.com.
Racial Justice and
Policing in Texas
University of Texas at San Antonio, March 24, 2022
UTSA’s History Department seeks to facilitate the
development and exchange of historical scholarship on the state featuring
leading and emerging scholars in related fields. Across the United States,
police take on an incredible and taxing responsibility: the duty of keeping
people and their neighborhoods safe. It is a job for which communities are
willing to vest much power and authority in police forces. While that power and
authority have commonly been used for the good of citizens, they have also too
often been wielded questionably. Thus, the relationship between police and some
communities has been fraught with tension that has sometimes escalated to
violence. Against a national backdrop of related discussions, we invite
scholars to propose papers that engage the topics of racial justice and
policing in Texas.
Please submit proposals to UTSANauConference@utsa.edu.
Proposals must be submitted by October 31, 2021.
Culture Jamming and
the Art of Subversion: A Multidisciplinary Perspective
Annual Comparative World Literature Conference, April 13 and
14, 2022
Coined in the
eighties, the term “culture jam” refers
to the appropriation by social activists of the linguistic trends
characteristic of consumerist capitalist societies. In an effort to disrupt
mainstream cultural institutions, culture jamming organizations and the
individuals behind them subvert and expose the tactics used by media culture
and its affiliates. In so doing, the jammers borrow the very language of
corporations, political discourse, and mass advertisements. A 2017 collection
of papers titled Activism and the Art of Cultural Resistance (New York
University Press) demonstrates that the concept of culture jamming, far from being dépassé, has
continued to be deployed in a variety of ways, notably in 2020/2021, in light
of the Covid-19 pandemic and global movements. Have cultural jammers succeeded
in undermining the social firms targeted?
Proposals due January 15, 2022 to comparativeworldliterature@gmail.com
Emerging Practices in Design
Pedagogy
https://architecturemps.com/focus-pedagogy/
Dates:
20-22 April, 2022, Place: Virtual
This
conference reminds us that the pandemic is only one aspect of what it is to be
an educator and researcher today. Asking us to take a step back from the flux
we have been in recently, it invites us to refocus on our teaching and research
topics. Importantly, it welcomes presentations that highlight pedagogy and
research that has continued unaffected by remote teaching, as well as examples
were radical realignments have been necessary. Whether it be in the fields of
the arts, design, social or environmental sciences, this conference seeks to
better grasp the tenor of teaching and research in today’s changing academy.

Literature &
Culture and/as Intelligent Systems
16–17 December 2021, virtual
Research on ‘intelligent systems’ broadly impacts the
everyday lives of citizens worldwide, from self-driving cars, facial
recognition, and ‘intelligent’ robots, to algorithms that create personalized
advertisements that influence consumer choice. The societal, political,
cultural, and ethical impacts of advances in this field have become matters of
concern – and have also shaped literary and cultural production. Especially in
recent years, literary texts that explore various aspects of intelligent
systems have been thriving. Thus, part of the aim of this workshop is to
identify, discuss, and also overcome these challenges to further explore to
what extent intelligent systems might serve as a ‘travelling concept,’ which
can be used to advance interdisciplinary research and exchange, and to foster
the circulation of knowledge amongst researchers working in this field. The
workshop will offer a forum to discuss these, and further approaches, and to
examine what literature knows about ‘intelligent systems.’
Please send an abstract to jessica.bundschuh@ilw.uni-stuttgart.de under
the subject line of “intelligent systems” by 29 October 2021.
Resilience,
Resistance, Renovation, and Rebirth Conference
Zoom Conference: March 31 and April 1, 2022
2021 was not the year we had hoped. SARS-CoV-2 is still with
us and has continued to force us to adapt and create a new normal as we go.
Considering how has 2021/22 changed us, what is this normal now in the
sciences, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (or STEAM)? What has
happened to your work, research, and lives that would not have happened without
the interruption of the SARS-CoV-2 virus? How was the pandemic a spark for
innovation for that cultural change, poem, industrial design, theorem,
performance, medical discovery, or whatever you and your team have discovered?
Looking ahead, where do you see yourself taking this idea? Proposals for
panels, individual talks, and performances that address this pandemic as a time
of inspiration, innovation, and change from all disciplines and fields of study
are welcome.
Please submit a title and abstract (300 words maximum)
describing your panel or presentation, and email to nausteamconference2022@gmail.com by
January 31, 2022.
PUBLICATIONS
Borders and Boundaries
The
Moving Image invites submissions for possible inclusion in a Borders and
Boundaries Special Issue. Building upon the Borders and Borderlands stream at
the AMIA Spring 2021 conference, we welcome work that examines contact zones,
third spaces, and fluid identities of humans and moving images in liminal
spaces.
Submissions
due: October 18, 2021 to Jennifer Jenkins at jenkinsj@arizona.edu, Melissa Dollman at msdollman@yahoo.com, and cc’d to Devin Orgeron

Mixed and Contested Racial Identities
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/genealogy/special_issues/Mono_racialism
Special
Issue of Genealogy
We are
pleased to invite you to submit to a Special Issue of Genealogy entitled, “Who
Are We Really? Genealogical Deconstructions of Monoracialism through Mixed and
Contested Racial Identities”. Our aim is to provide an outlet for
deconstructing notions of monoracial categorization by highlighting
genealogically related writings of mixed (race, ethnicity, culture, etc.) and
contested (liminal, borderland, hybrid, etc.) identities.
For
consideration, please submit extended abstracts by October 31, 2021 to
special issue editors, Dr. Marc Johnston-Guerrero (guerrero.55@osu.edu) and Dr. Orkideh Mohajeri (omohajeri@wcupa.edu).
Multiculturalism and the
Politics of Visual Representation
https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issues/multiculturalism-politics-visual-representation/
Journal
of Multicultural Discourses: Special Issue
This
Special Issue continues this line of research by seeking to further clarify the
role that visual culture plays in ongoing debates about multiculturalism across
a diverse range of empirical contexts. Visual culture is not merely a
reflection of power but constitutes power through the production of discourses,
meanings, and cultural signs . In recent years, the politicisation of visual
culture has attracted considerable attention from academics, journalists,
governments, and civil society activists in the context of debates about
migration, nationalism, and the rise of the far-right in many countries. We
invite contributors to this Special Issue to address this gap by critically
analysing how multiculturalism is represented in different visual media using
approaches and methods from cultural studies, philosophy, political science,
anthropology, sociology, history, and semiotics.
Deadline:
17 January 2022
Please
direct any questions to the special issue editors, Catherine Gibson (catherine.helen.gibson@ut.ee) and James Pearson (james.pearson@ut.ee).
From the Margins Reimagining
Global Perspectives of Home
Feminist
scholars have made the important observation that idealized visions of
middle-class, heteronormative domesticity as a recuperative space existing
outside of the social world have been inaccessible to most people: for many,
particularly, women, children, and people of colour, homes could function as workplaces,
as well as sites of discipline, violence and oppression. Inspired by this work, this panel explores
ideas of home from the margins, including locations coded as “peripheral,” as
well as the perspectives of displaced, colonized, and disenfranchised groups.
Papers dealing with questions of housing, domesticity, domestic work, intimate
and familial relations, homelessness and housing insecurity, from the
nineteenth century to the present day are welcomed. Contributions that address
any of these topics in imperial or settler colonial contexts, or dealing with
Indigenous or non-Western perspectives on home, are particularly encouraged.
Expressions
of interest should be accompanied by a 350-word abstract and a brief 150-word
bio by December 1, 2021.
Please
email submissions to lisabinkley@dal.ca or Katherine.crooks@dal.ca
Teaching Girlhood Studies
The key
questions that inform this special issue build on those that informed the
creation of this journal: “What is girlhood studies”? How do we do girlhood
studies? What is the relationship between women’s studies and girlhood studies?
What is the relationship between girlhood studies and boyhood and masculinity
studies?” Articles may address teaching girlhood studies from various
perspectives and academic disciplines including historical studies, literature,
cultural studies, media studies, the study of juvenilia art, material and
virtual culture (for example toys and games), girls and science, geographies of
girlhood, education, and girl methodologies and methods, among others.
Abstracts
are due by 15 October 2021 and
should be sent to teachinggirlhoodstudies@gmail.com

more information, please see www.berghahnjournals.com/girlhood-studies
The Political Lives of
Infrastructure
https://www.radicalhistoryreview.org/2021/05/12/the-political-lives-of-infrastructure/
If
infrastructures are understood as the systems that build, sustain, and govern
everyday life, what types of questions might historically-oriented scholarship
foreground about radical politics organized through and around
infrastructure? The archival record is
replete with examples of how infrastructures have brought subjected peoples
into uneven yet frictional relationships with transnational configurations of
power and violence. Given the current interest amongst historians in moving
beyond the constraints of methodological nationalism—in both the realms of
scholarship and activism—what kinds of new or alternative historiographies does
a radical focus on infrastructure make possible?
By
February 1, 2022, please submit a 1-2 page abstract summarizing the article you
wish as an attachment to contactrhr@gmail.com with “Issue 147 Abstract
Submission” in the subject line.
Men and Masculinities in the
Global South: A Southern Perspective
Although
Masculinities Studies have also flourished in the Global South, most southern
research in this field remains unknown to the rest of the world, mainly due to
language barriers, lack of incentive in publications and lack of interaction
with scholars and publishers of the Global North. In other words, research and
scholarship from the southern hemisphere barely circulate in the Global North;
and those that do, are mostly written/interpreted from a northern point of
view. The main objective of this book
project is to bring together native/global south authors working in the field
of masculinities, with empirical and theoretical research, in the humanities
and social sciences. Practitioners, activists, writers, scholars, graduate
students are invited to submit papers.
Please
submit an abstract no longer than 500 words in English to Dr. José
Loureiro (volume editor) joseloureiro211@gmail.com by December 10,
2021.
African Cosplays: Play,

of cosplay beyond current trends (Eurocentric and western) and iterations in
graphic arts and comics. Contributors are invited to explore anthropological,
cultural, historical, spiritual, emotional, and semiotic perspectives on
African cosplay.
Abstracts
(250-400 words) are due December 31, 2021.

Histories of Sexual Violence
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/8299971/histories-sexual-violence
The
study of sexual violence necessitates bearing in mind the intersecting
realities, actors, discourses, practices, prejudices, and contradictions that,
in different historical and geographical contexts, have aided to promote it
and, at the same time, normalised it or even condemned it. The ways that sexual
violence has been understood, accepted, tolerated, contested, or rejected by
perpetrators, victims, or commentators has also depended on specific cultural
frameworks. Reading the –often scarce or implicit– evidence, (textual, verbal, corporeal,
or visual) of sexual violence and the responses to it has frequently posited a
challenge for historians, who have needed to refine their methodological and
theoretical tools to address and study this phenomenon.
Articles
should be submitted between December 15th, 2021 and January 31st, 2022.

Unserious Ecocriticism: Humor,
Wit, Play, and Environmental Destruction in North American Contemporary Art
& Visual Culture
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/8300393/cfp-book-chapters-unserious-ecocriticism
Climate
change, biodiversity loss, and habitat destruction are certainly serious
issues. Mainstream environmentalism in North America, a continent just beginning
to more viscerally feel the effects of the environmental destruction caused by
its inhabitants, tends to approach environmental issues through bleak messages
of gloom and doom, unquestioned sincerity, and appeals to feelings of fear and
hopelessness. But what happens if we attempt to address these challenges with
wit, playfulness, and earnest attempts to take the ridiculous seriously? This
volume seeks to disrupt traditional forms of ecocriticism that only operate
through tragedy and dire warnings, and instead bring together artists, art
historians, and other scholars of visual culture who present creative, playful,
and downright funny ways to rethink our relationship to the planet through
contemporary art and visual culture.
To
submit a proposal, please send a 250 word abstract and CV to the editors (marialux@gmail.com, and jlandau1@uchicago.edu) by November 3, 2021.
BIPOC Europe
https://sophia.smith.edu/meridians/submissions/call-for-submissions/
Scholarship
and activism that center Black feminist thought, Women-of-Color feminisms,
Indigenous feminisms, and Queer of Color critiques in the European context,
while not new, are often overshadowed by white European feminism and white
European queer theorization on the one hand, and US-centric scholarship and
activism on the other. As part of a corrective to the ways European scholarly
and activist practices that take up, inform, and expand Black feminist thought,
Indigenous feminisms, Women-of-Color feminisms, and Queer of Color critiques
are often either overlooked and/or inaccurately deemed absent, this special
issue invites contributions that center these perspectives and are grounded in
the European scholarly and activist experience.
Please
upload your submissions by December 15, 2021

questions about the manuscript review process, email nana.osei-kofi@oregonstate.edu and shirleya@ualberta.ca.
Inheritance
https://southerncultures.submittable.com/Submit
Southern
Cultures, the award-winning, peer-reviewed quarterly from UNC’s Center for the
Study of the American South, encourages submissions from scholars, writers, and
artists for a special issue, Inheritance. Whatever their origin, we recognize
that inheritances are cultural constructs and therefore matters to be reckoned
with—to be challenged and critiqued—rather than left unquestioned. We seek
submissions that explore what we have inherited, how, and from whom. As
contributors reveal, define, and engage with inheritances, we invite them to
reflect on what we bring forward and what we must leave behind; what we have
reckoned with and the consequences of failing to reckon.
We will
accept submissions for this issue through October 18, 2021.
Poetics and Politics of Trauma:
Regional Wounds, Universal Traumas, and the Possibility of Empathy
We aim
to ask whether, in a globalizing world grappling with copious forms of
traumatizing grievances (including terrorism, wars, massive displacements of
refugees, the rise of far-right sentiments, police violence, etc.), both
deconstructivist and pluralist theories could merge to provide an understanding
of trauma, its narrative, and sociopolitical dimensions. How can we consider
the ongoing nature of suffering experienced by traumatized subjects and yet
develop a more humane way of representation that could lead to what Dominick
LaCapra termed as “empathic unsettlement”?
Please
submit a full draft of a chapter to Rachel Dale (rdale@brandeis.edu) and Maryam Ghodrati (mghodrati@umass.edu) by November 15, 2021.
Unsettling Poetry Pedagogy
https://unsettlingpoetrypedagogy.sites.umassd.edu/
This
collection will provide college-level instructors with short, provocative, and
practical essays on new, antiracist methods for teaching poetry. We’re keen to
identify outmoded approaches that need to be unsettled, and we invite you to
write against their inadequate, outdated, toxic, and downright racist effects.
Ultimately, Unsettling Poetry Pedagogy seeks to put antiracist teaching and
research directly in conversation with each other, offering productive,
tangible ways for poetry classrooms to confront social injustice. This
collection asks: How should antiracist, anti-imperialist scholarship change the
ways we teach poetry and poetics? We welcome discussions of curricula, syllabi,
assignments, activities, learning theories, teaching tools, and assessment
ecologies for teaching poetry at all levels of higher education and in all
language and literature disciplines.
Please
email proposals to cgelmi@umassd.edu and elerud3@gatech.edu by Friday November
5, 2021.
Breaking Earth
The
Breaking Earth project seeks contributions to a special issue of SubStance
(Johns Hopkins UP) in which scholars and artists explore how unconformities
open productive and provocative means of reflecting on life and time. This work
will enact an attention to multiplicity over universality and trace the way
geophysical energy and power pools and flows--and can be redirected--through
Earth and people, both. As inhuman geographer Katherine Yusoff suggests, “there
is not one but many Earths, preexistent and possible, within this particular
geochemical-cosmic milieu.” Breaking Earth is an exploration of how these many
past, present, and future Earthly formations can help us reconceive of Earthly
existence in the Anthropocene.

Burning the Ballot: Feminism
Meets Anarchy
https://coilsoftheserpent.org/2021/09/announcement-special-issue-burning-the-ballot/
From
the so-called first-wave of feminism until our present moment, anarchists have
been considered both ally and adversary. In the early days of the women’s
movement, some anarchists were active participants and a few even claimed the
feminist label. Anarchists might need to confront the difficult question of
what, if anything, anarchism might bring to Indigenous feminism in particular,
given Indigenous feminism’s own theorizations and oppositions to the state and
domination. The potential for more direct anarchist influences on feminism
remains a question that needs more explicit discussion. All feminisms, after
all, are not created equal. This Special Issue of Coils of the Serpent sets out
from the premise that despite its shortcomings, anarchism has much to offer
feminism and is worth being taken seriously and explored in greater detail.

Theology and Margaret Atwood:
The Handmaid’s Tale and Other Worlds
Since
the recent success of the TV series The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood—who
has always enjoyed an enthusiastic “fan base” and coterie of admiring
readers—has gained a renewed prominence and her work has entered into a kind of
renaissance as readers (re)discover her extensive catalogue of writings,
including novels, essays, short stories, poetry, and other edited pieces. This
call is for abstracts of proposed chapters for an edited volume that will be
dedicated broadly to analyses of Atwood's writings through a theological/
religious/ spiritual lens. The edited collection will be a volume in a
"popular culture and theology" series and is now under contract.
Please send an abstract of no less than 250 words in
a Word doc format and a current academic cv by November 1,
2021 to greeleyj@sacredheart.edu
Theatre and Racial Justice
Anthology
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/8370627/cfp-theatre-and-racial-justice-anthology
Black,
Indigenous and other communities of color (BIPOC) have historically rooted
their artistic practices and advocacy work in the rich soil of human experience
with a desire to protect and preserve lives, affirm and recognize people’s
inherent dignity, and inspire hope as they work towards racial justice and
positive social change. This book will document, amplify, and share lessons
from practitioners and scholars who use performance (e.g. theatre, dance,
spoken word, ritual, performance art) to create models of collective
solidarity, transformative justice, and liberation. In doing so, the book will
complicate the history of applied theatre, which often overlooks the importance
of knowledge and cultural practices developed by historically marginalized
communities (including social activists, community organizers, artists,
religious leaders, and teachers) who have been doing the work long before
academic training programs developed the terminology of “applied theatre.”
Interested
contributors should send a bio (300 word max.) and abstract proposal (300 word
max.) by November 15, 2021.

Movement as Politics:
Disability Dance and the Politics of Corporeal Aesthetics
https://bildnercenter.rutgers.edu/campus-programs/faculty-seminars
Tuesday, October 12, 2021 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Disability dance offers insights into the ways bodily
differences are represented, negotiated, and experienced through artistic
expression. In this art form, choreographers, directors, and practitioners
employ the moving body and mobility apparatuses, such as wheelchairs,
prosthetics, and crutches, to expand participation of disabled dancers.
Disability dance thus offers a means of resisting the medical diagnosis of
disability as a pathology as well as the normative aesthetic category of the
fit, able-bodied dancer. Based on six years of ethnographic fieldwork with
integrated dance projects in Israel and the US, this talk will explore the
intersection of somatics, politics, and aesthetics in disability dance, arguing
for the ways it serves as a microcosm of larger political struggles for
inclusion.

Newspapers, 1800-2020: Voices from the Inside
https://www.jstor.org/site/reveal-digital/american-prison-newspapers/
On March 24, 1800, Forlorn Hope became the first newspaper
published within a prison by an incarcerated person. In the intervening 200
years, over 450 prison newspapers have been published from U.S. prisons. Some,
like the Angolite and the San Quentin News, are still being published today.

from across the country into one collection that will represent penal
institutions of all kinds, with special attention paid to women's-only
institutions.
