CONFERENCES & WORKSHOPS
Altered States
The experience of an altered state requires some sort of excess, where things become too much and the line between pleasure and pain is blurred. In political terms, to alter or revolt against the state implies an excess of action and affect, towards a possible change in the order of things. Faced with the disintegration of our institutions, ongoing environmental degradation, and endemic colonial and racial violence, we risk falling into cynicism and a fatalistic acceptance of dissolution and collapse. Meanwhile, a surreal feeling pervades as the pandemic confines us to our ‘private’ spaces amidst ongoing digitization that frustrates any sense of a public/private divide. When do film and media catalyze altered states, in their many iterations? How can media that resists conventional form destabilize our perception? What does it mean to be altered by another or by an experience?
We hope to draw upon recent approaches from Black and Indigenous studies, queer and trans studies, and other decolonial perspectives to address altered states through an intersectional lens.
Interested parties must submit a brief abstract (300-500 words) and a bio of 50-100 words to csgraduatestudentunion@gmail.com by 17 December 2021.
Gender, Sex, and Politics: On Power, Identity and Biopolitics
February 24 (Thursday) & 25 (Friday), 2022 – Virtual
This year’s theme of the conference is “Gender, Sex, and Politics: On Power, Identity and Biopolitics.” In the past decade, the world has seen a rise in the anti-gender right -wing movements. The political gains made by right-wing parties in various countries have paved the way for conservative laws that have a negative impact on bodily autonomy of women, LGBTQ+ communities, people with disability, and minority populations in multiple countries.

La Politiquera: Recovering Politics/Recovering Political Voices
https://artepublicopress.com/conference/
APRIL 7-9, 2022 · VIRTUAL CONFERENCE
We are pleased to announce the XVI Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage Conference will convene virtually April 7-9, 2022. The meeting theme, La Politiquera: Recovering Politics/Recovering Political Voices, seeks to highlight voices in the archives that chronicle the agency of individuals and communities in navigating complex political environments and events, especially in the context of barred access to democratic institutions such as the courts and voting. What counts as politics when communities are deemed unrecognizable as a legitimate, enfranchised citizenry? Apart from the politics that appear in contesting the settler policies of a white, nationalist, Anglophone hegemony, what are other debates, controversies and ideologies that inform recovered archives? How do scholars approach and assess archives when politics in the past often underwrote issues, social practices and belief systems our communities no longer uphold?
Submit your 250-word abstract for presentations/posters by email to apprec@central.uh.edu by February 1, 2022.

There is no fee involved for the conference, participation and all events are open to the public.
Please send a 250 word abstract of your paper or a description of your project to: peacecon@loyno.edu.
Animals in the American Popular Imagination
Virtual conference 12-16 September 2022
Nonhuman animals have been unwilling objects of the human gaze: humans have been exploiting animals (real and imagined) on the basis, and the attendant continued perpetuation, of self-assigned human superiority and centrality. Innumerable popular culture artifacts and performances revolve around nonhuman animals, from reality TV shows on Animal Planet and iconic characters such as Lassie to animals as parts of wrestler gimmicks and animals in sports team names. These and other popular culture artifacts touch on animal-related matters of all kinds, from narratives in which heroic pets seem to take center stage to meat preparation and consumption. This international conference will focus on the representation of animals and human-animal relations in American popular culture, in all its forms, across media, past and present.
Deadline for submission: April 24, 2022

Humanities of Migration: Emotion, Culture, and Knowledge
20 May – 21 May 2022, Hansung University, Seoul, Korea
The international conference of the Humanities of Migration responds to this understanding about migrants and migration by providing a collaborative forum to bring together migration scholars with diverse interests and expertise in the humanities. We are more interested in the narratives about the movements and social imaginations of human beings than "scientific” facts and data on migration. Narratives and imaginations aboutmigration provide explanations of bodily, sensible, emotional, and affective experiences of migration that are both nuanced and vivid. The main premise of our conference lies in questioning the binary assumptions of existing migration studies and acknowledging that migration in human history has always been a political movement tied in with conflicts in particular spatial-temporal localities.
All accepted presenters from abroad will be provided with full economy roundtrip airfare to and from Seoul and 2 nights accommodation.
For further information, please contact us at Dr. Kim Jiyoun hshumanity@hansung.ac.kr.

Posthumanism and the Anthropocene
Thursday 27th January 7-9pm ~ Friday 28th January 7-9pm ~ Saturday 29th January 12-2pm
‘Existence is entangled, symbiotic, hybrid. There are no clearly defined borders which allow fixed notions of being’ (Ferrando 2014, p.168). The growing turn away from Humanism, and thus ideas centring on human exceptionalism, arguably begins with Nietzsche and his concept of the Ubermensch but quickly develops towards the disavowal of a series of human constructions that whilst appearing to offer innate human truths, such as freewill, are, inevitably, deconstructed as being bolstered by non-human supplements such as writing, art and, technology – fundamental materials from which we derive our anthropocentric history. The posthuman begins with a pre-Humanist reflection: ‘what is human?’ and in our attempts to answer this question, we have come to revise our ontological individuality towards ideas that acknowledge our existence amongst a network of interactions, species and landscapes. We are intra-agency, fluid, future potentials, and evermore, non-human.
Please submit a 100 word proposal on your presentation by Friday 3rd January 2022 in Word or pdf files to: finniganl@src.ac.uk

Women in the Challenging World
https://www.socialsciencesandhumanities.com/gender-conference/
29 January 2022
Please note that the conference date is provisional and subject to change due to the epidemiological situation with the COVID-19 pandemic.
The question we can ask is how far have we got in achieving not just gender equality (for the vast amount of research testifies we have indeed not got far albeit lots of progress has been made), but how far have we got in achieving an understanding of gender? What kind of culture needs to be created to embrace diversity beyond positive laws (that exist only in some countries), but a true diversity where nobody will think they should have the right to question someone’s self-perception and self-expression, and a culture where all genders will be equal?
Submissions of abstracts (up to 500 words) with an email contact should be sent to gender_conference@socialsciencesandhumanities.com by 10 January 2021

Planetary Precarity and Future Habitability
February 18 & 19, 2022, Online, international conference organised by School of Liberal Arts and School of Management, Bennett University, Greater Noida, India
This international, online conference aims to examine these planetary crises with a demand for planetary thought-actions-praxis that acknowledges the interconnectedness of all forms of life. Our concept note is constructed in the hope that pressing issues facing humanity can be addressed collectively, blurring the divide of global north and global south. We aim, for example, for recommendations on how looming disasters glimpsed in the rear mirror, such as the lurking sixth extinction of the planet, can be averted; or how carbon democracies arising in the wake of neoliberalism can be challenged and dismantled.
Submission of abstracts: December 15th, 2021

Decolonizing visuality
In a world still deeply marked by colonial images and worldviews, in which the production and mass distribution of visual technologies has contributed to the naturalization of oppressive systems, making the underlying visual codes almost unnoticed, this edition wishes to debate colonial visual heritage and how it impacts the world today. Being a historical process, it demands continuous criticism in line with the many scholars and artists working in Visual Culture, Gender Studies and Cultural Studies traditions in the various disciplines. Establishing counter narratives, counter archives and counter images is then a challenge to hegemonic social, cultural and political systems and a contribution to a much needed dialogue around themes that are difficult and complex, in view of a pluralist, diverse and balanced society.
Abstracts are due by March 31st 2022

Womanhood(s) in the United States: Cultural, Social, and Political Conflicts in Achieving Equality
May 19-20, 2022, Paris, France
It is in the context of the upcoming 100th anniversary (2023) of the Equal Rights Amendment’s introduction to Congress and the 50th anniversary (2022) of the decisive vote on the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) by both chambers of Congress that this conference aims to offer a reflection on womanhood(s) and feminine identities in the United States. The debate on the Equal Rights Amendment has been shaped by conflicting political, social, and cultural visions of womanhood that seem endemic to the history of women's rights.
Please submit proposals by February 1, 2022 to Christen Bryson (christen.bryson-charle@sorbonne-nouvelle.fr), Anne Légier (a.legier@univ-amu.fr), and Amélie Ribieras (amelie.ribieras@u-paris2.fr).
Challenging the Liberal World Order from Within, the Invisible History of the United Nations and the Global South
Across the twentieth century, ideas about the global order have sparked a furious debate amongst scholars seeking to understand its power dynamics, structures, institutions, organisation and systems. The majority of the discussion has been centred around the role of states as critical to shaping the workings of the system of international relations and the horizon of peace and security. There has however been an inherent tendency to uphold conventional turning points such as the two World Wars, the Cold War and the North-South divide. We aim to go beyond these traditional understandings and rather focus on the institutions, nations, and often forgotten actors who were full participants alongside Great Powers in shaping the norms, systems and practices that make up global order.
To apply please send an abstract of no more than 350 words and a short bio to: invisihist@gmail.com by 31 January 2022.

Sensing Place
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/9102018/cfc-%E2%80%9Csensing-place%E2%80%9D
This volume of Refract invites articles and other media that explore, expand on, and trouble the intersections of ritual, place, and the sensorium. We ask: What constitutes ritual and how does it relate to time, place, and the senses? How do rituals help organize our world(s) and define our senses of place? In what ways do rituals reify power, resist structures of oppression, or construct senses of identity? In this volume we seek to expand the boundaries of the historic interpretation of ritual to consider topics such as: the visual and sensory aspects of daily life that are exalted through routine; how we mark time through repeated celebrations; or the quotidian experiences of sitting together in classrooms or sharing meals.
Deadline: February 28, 2022
For submission guidelines, please visit our website. For additional questions, please contact refractjournal@ucsc.edu.

Digital Flux, Linguistic Justice and Minoritized Languages
The concept of linguistic justice, when applied to minoritized languages, sheds light upon the way in which minoritized communities conduct their lives in less-than-optimal environments. Because of that, the framework for the study of minoritized languages has been constructed from different areas of knowledge, creating a situation in which “language” is just one of these elements. This collection of essays (already under contract) proposes to recover the centrality of language, understood as bilingualism, biculturalism and bidialectalism both historical and contemporary. We aim to expand the knowledge about the sociolinguistic, educational, political and social realities that occur in minoritized languages.
February 15, 2022: Proposal Chapter Submission deadline
Please, send your questions, proposals and full chapters to both editors, Covadonga Lamar Prieto (covadonga.lamar-prieto@ucr.edu) and Álvaro González Alba (agonz473@ucr.edu)
Perspectives on the Arts in Peace Pedagogy
In an effort to advance conversations about the arts in peace and justice education, we invite chapter proposals for the collected work, Perspectives on the Arts in Peace Pedagogy. We aim to elevate the voices of scholars and teaching artists who consistently use the arts to engage students in discourses relevant to peace and justice education. Despite the relevance of the arts in the social sciences, there remains a limited focus on how educators incorporate artistic media into their teaching. Even when the arts are theorized in these disciplinary spaces, they are seldom framed as being central in shaping how students grapple with issues of conflict, peace, or justice. This provides an opportunity to enrich our understanding of these intersections by focusing on the arts as praxis.
Proposals should be sent to both Dr. Laurence Stacey <lstacey1@kennesaw.edu> and Jonathan Taylor Downs <jdowns8@kennesaw.edu>.
Interface
https://www.soapboxjournal.net/page/call-for-papers-interface
For the upcoming issue of Soapbox, a graduate peer-reviewed journal for cultural analysis, we invite young researchers and established scholars alike to submit academic essays or creative work that critically engages with the theme of interface. An interface is a space of contact and interconnection. Thinking within but also beyond a media studies framework, we can understand our lives to be constantly mediated by interfaces of one form or another. They can be understood to serve as an intermediary between individuals and cultural objects, or alternatively, between experience and infrastructure. Interfaces mediate between a body and its environment, the private and public, subject and object. In each instance, the interface enables interaction and activity.
We are inviting extended proposals (500-1000 words) that follow the MLA formatting and referencing style to be submitted to submissions@soapboxjournal.net by December 14th, 2021.

Forms, Voices, Networks: Feminism and the Media
https://www.ghil.ac.uk/events/exhibitions-and-special-events#c2784
23 November 2021 - 23 November 2022
The exhibition Forms, Voices, Networks explores the intersections between the growth of mass media and women’s rights movements in a transnational context during the 20th century. Centred on the histories of feminisms and the media in Britain, Germany and India, it draws attention to little-known or unheard voices and stories and draws connections between activists and the media across time and space. Built around the themes of recognition, redefinition, remapping, reclamation and regeneration, the exhibition offers a glimpse into different moments and different places of feminism.
The exhibition will be launched at three online events between November 2021 and January 2022.
The Politics of Photography: Feminist Activisms in India and Britain: 23 November at 1pm GMT
Recognition and the Intersections of Feminist Activisms in Germany and India: 15 December at 5:30pm GMT
Women on the Air Waves: Feminism and the Radio in Britain and Germany: 20 January at 5:30pm GMT

Participation and Public Interpretations: How to Navigate Multiple Historical Narratives in Museums?
6-7 December 2021
This 2021 event focuses on the multiple and diverse narratives in participatory history. Reinforced by ideology, identity, memory, and personal stories, public participation can enrich history and foster a variety of perspectives that may compete or complement one another. Navigating diverse experiences and perceptions of the past raises the matter of diverse interpretations of historical narratives and their possible inclusion in historiography and museums.

Curating Detours: a Decolonial Guide to Hawaiʻi
https://grsj.arts.ubc.ca/events/event/curating-detours-a-decolonial-guide-to-hawai%ca%bbi/
01/12/2021 @ 12PM PST
Detours: A Decolonial Guide to Hawaiʻi takes seriously the power of form and the reading practices, imaginaries and publics produced by tourism and deliberately unsettles them. Our presentation will outline the ethical dimensions of the project and the rationale for turning away from the guidebook genre toward a book that guides readers to decolonisation—a template and archive of place-based work and representations aimed at achieving ea (life, breath, sovereignty). We will also reflect on the kinds of responsibilities that emerge from this framework and what it means for people who visit or live in Hawaiʻi and for decolonzation in other places.

Women Resisting Violence Podcast
https://lab.org.uk/wrv/podcast/
King’s academics Cathy McIlwaine and Jelke Boesten, in collaboration with the Latin America Bureau, launch a new three-part podcast series which hears the extraordinary experiences of women addressing and resisting gender-based violence in Brazil, Guatemala and the UK, with episodes released every Thursday from November 25, 2021, in line with the international 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence. The podcast aims to champion grassroots campaigns to better understand the complex and innovative nature of their resistance, whilst learning from the lived experience of women survivors and civil society activists. These important learnings should positively influence broader policies around violence against women, both within and beyond Latin America. The podcast are also a great teaching resource.
