CONFERENCES & WORKSHOPS
Violence and Non-Violence in American Society: Interpretations
and Perspectives
26-27 March 2022, International Conference, (Zoom sessions:
2 days/Virtual platform: 5 days)
Commemorating the 1921 Tulsa, Oklahoma Race Massacre (May
31) we wish to re-examine the role of racially motivated violence in the
shaping of American society and identity. A century after the destruction, we
wish to explore the reasons that the story of Greenwood, the African American
part of Tulsa, also known as the Black Wall Street, and many other similar
cases, are lost in oblivion. How and why one of the most powerful and
independent African American communities in history was devastated and how the
city, state and federal authorities facilitated such an action? What happened
in similar cases?
Deadline for proposals 17 March 2022

Building
Ecosystems/Selling Natures
Friday, October 28, 2022, Center for the History of
Business, Technology, and Society, Hagley Library, Wilmington, Delaware
We hope for proposals from a range of disciplinary
perspectives, inspired as we are by scholars researching agriculture, mining,
energy, water, enviro-tech, the built environment, evolution, and the biosphere
(to name a few). Their scholarship explores the shared spaces that we hope to
interrogate through this conference. In particular, we hope to create panels
that bring together scholars working in different subjects, themes, and
disciplines to see how they can cross-fertilize each other’s work, including
researchers engaged with concepts like “Anthropocene” and “Capitalocene” and
their efficacy.
Please submit proposals of no more than 500 words and a
one-page C.V. to Carol Lockman at clockman@Hagley.org
by June 15, 2022.
Connecting
Communities: Reclaiming Indigenous Knowledge
https://clacs.ku.edu/ase-call-papers
September 7-10, 2022 in Lawrence, Kansas
Annual Meeting of the American Society for Ethnohistory
We welcome thematic panels and panels that include
perspectives drawn from across the Americas, and beyond. We encourage panels to
consider various ways in which Indigenous communities forged and maintained
connections to other communities, Indigenous or not, across time and space. How
have issues of colonialism and issues of power structured these relationships?
How have Indigenous communities used such connections to subvert colonial or
hegemonic forces? How have various forms of Indigenous knowledge featured into
connections between, within, and across communities? How has/can a greater
awareness of Indigenous knowledge, and its various forms, enhance the practice
and findings of ethnohistory?

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. This anthropocentrism is also why humans primarily define animals,
their agency, their intelligence, their emotional lifeworlds, etc. by
projecting onto them human ideas and discourses. 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. 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

of ideas and technologies; and theories of circulation and connectivity.
Celebrating the substantial motion of thought and/as creative practice, SMRN
will hold the four-day symposium “A Light Footprint in the Cosmos” at the
School for the Contemporary Arts, Simon Fraser University, 24-27 June 2022,
accompanied by workshops, exhibitions, performances, and curated screenings. We
are delighted to extend an invitation to scholars and artists to take part in
the symposium.
Please send your abstract of up to 300 words with a short

Spatial Justice, Land
Rights and Cultural recognition
https://architecturemps.com/calgary/
The University of Calgary welcomes Alison Page as keynote
speaker at the CULTURES, COMMUNITIES and DESIGN hybrid conference, June 28-30,
2022. The themes will be spatial justice, land rights and cultural recognition.
‘The Countryside’ – a polemically generic term Rem Koolhaas has recently used
to reposition debates about our cities to those of rural areas. While posited
as ‘new’, it is, in reality, a well established mode of thinking. Through
notions such as the peri-urban for example, geographers, sociologists,
architects, urban designers and regional economists have all debated the
urban-rural relationship for several decades. Under this framework we are
obliged to consider the city and its architecture on its own terms, but also
address the ‘rural’ in its particular context and, importantly, explore the
parallels and mutual influences at play. The sustainability of our buildings
and neighbourhoods is connected to debates on the sustainability of rural
areas.

ENGAGED SCHOLARSHIP =
Virtual CFP
https://architecturemps.com/pretoria/
April 20th, 2022, Virtual
While the coronavirus has changed many aspects of teaching
and learning practices in recent times, many of the issues we face and deal
with daily as educators remain the same. Issues of deep learning and engaged
scholarship are just two examples that are important at the University of
Pretoria. These issues reflect our interest in the role of external stakeholders
in educational projects, and complex site and human conditions that often
require interaction with unframed scenarios. They are premised on our argument
that the changing world, and our shifting living patterns, directly influence
how we integrate teaching-learning-research as a connected experience, whether
dealing with a pandemic or not.

Transformative
Teaching - Virtual Conference
https://amps-research.com/conference/teaching/
15-17 November 2022, virtual
The past two years have forced educators globally to
concentrate on the reconfiguration of our delivery and structures. As a result,
we have often been obliged to look at academia in primarily practical ways.
However, the higher education sector has never been exclusively concerned with
the practicalities of delivery and has never existed in isolation. It brings in
students from general education. It prepares them for a world of work and
practice. In the process, it seeks to ‘transform’ them – opening students to
the myriad of possibilities education is expected to bring. The premise of this
conference and its publications is that this is a useful moment for
reflection. We are beginning to move
beyond the pandemic and its focus on delivery.

“But Fighting Back!”:
Images of Resistance and Revolutionary Change in African-American Literature
across the Ages
South Atlantic Modern Language Association, November 11-13,
2022
For us, this panel is incredibly timely. National
conversations on antiracism, coupled with the rise in anti-CRT legislation that
if passed would ban the teaching of texts this panel aims to highlight, cause
us to revisit literature of the not-so-distant past for the important lessons
it has left behind. Therefore, we are particularly excited to receive proposals
for presentations that draw connections between the authors of the Harlem
Renaissance and revolutionary writers of the present as we work to trace the
heritage of resistance in Black-authored texts. Papers with a focus on Hughes
are especially welcomed, though not required.
Send proposals to lhsociety.president@gmail.com no
later than July 1, 2022
Early career
researchers' symposium: Approaches to researching and curating women artists
Thu 23 Jun 2022, 10am (AEDT)
One key challenge for researchers and curators of women
artists within this context has been the risk of further marginalising women
artists by approaching them as a unitary category defined by their gender.
However, women artists remain a vital category for study and engagement due to
the historical under-representation of their work in collections and the
influence of the art market. Today new approaches to studying and presenting
women artists’ careers and legacies that engage with these tensions in
innovative ways is a significant step towards better understanding their work
and creating change.
Please email paper proposals of no more than 200 words by 15th
April 2022 to curators@ngv.vic.gov.au

Ambivalences of
Ecological Transformation. Perspectives from the Environmental Humanities
https://rethinking-environment-idk.de/
This international conference Ambivalences of Ecological
Transformation. Perspectives from th Environmental Humanities seeks to (1)
tease out different modes of and disourses on ambivalences impairing ecological
transformation and to (2) discuss new
(scholary, practical, and communicatice) approaches to move beyond. We invite
contributions and interventions on topics relating to these two issues from
both junior and senior scholars, science-communicators, and practitioners. As
an exercise in interdisciplinary research, we are also keen (3) on establishing
a shared vocabulary and common language for understanding and working with
ambivalaneces as a concept in Environmental Humanities and also invite
conceptual reflections.
Proposals by March 1, 2022 to ambivalences2022@wzu.uni-augsburg.de
Unity and Disunity:
Tensions & Community in History
Friday, April 29, 2022
Expanding our theme to include scholarship outside of United
States History, our conference will allow graduate students from both inside
and outside of the History Department, and inside and outside of UCI, to
reflect on the roles that tension and community play in their scholarship. We
invite presenters to consider the processes of community formation,
development, and conflict. In doing so, we hope to shed a light on the tensions
that still plague our world, and history, today.
Interested applicants should submit a 250-word abstract by
11:59 pm (PST) Friday, March 25, 2022
Fact and Fiction,
Trust and Distrust. Digital Humanities Symposium
https://easychair.org/cfp/DHT-2022
June 29 & 30, 2022, two-day, hybrid symposium
In our ‘post-truth age’, public opinion appears less
influenced by objective facts and more by personal beliefs. Companies, media,
and influencers enter into competition for capturing and retaining our
attention. In both online and offline media, we see a blurring of the lines
between factual and fictional discourse. Online echo chambers and algorithmic
biases lead to a pervasive influence of confirmation bias and filter bubbles.
Increasing political polarization and the mainstreaming of conspiracy thought
amount to a deep-seated distrust of groups outside of the own community, and of
things as they seem. The question of truth seems to increasingly be replaced by
the question ‘who tells the most compelling story?’ With this event, we aim to
answer such questions from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.
Submit a 300-word anonymized abstract (excluding
references), consisting of the title and a short description of your proposed
paper to easy chair by April 15, 2022.

Teaching Inequality :
Approaches and Methods
https://www.researchgate.net/project/Teaching-Inequality-Approaches-and-Methods-Major-Reference-Work
There is no tertiary literature examining the approaches and
methods available for teaching inequality and inequality-related contents in
the school and college curriculum, engaging local and global contexts. This is
a problem, as available literature on educational inequality shows that
educating graduates about various types of inequalities helps in reducing
inequality as the learner understands the means and methods to overcome
disparities and challenges. Therefore,
the aim of this volume is to gather the best possible teaching methods and
approaches that can prepare future policymakers and human service
professionals, who will then work on reducing different forms of inequality
across the globe.
Interested authors, please email a 250 words abstract and
author biography by 25th April 2022, to Dr. Rajendra Baikady at rajendra.baikady@mail.huji.ac.il.
Historical Fiction by
Women and about Women
https://www.hstory.us.edu.pl/clio-reflects-cfc/
In many literary genres as well as other modes of
expression, such as cinematography, performing arts, and games, explorations of
past women’s lives have become increasingly popular and evolved into a body of
intellectual, psychological, and social experimentation. This movement is
mirrored in the broad spectrum of genres making some claim for historicity or
historical verisimilitude, such as historical novels; alternate histories;
fictional biographies; historical fantasies, family sagas, mysteries, and
romances; children’s and YA historical fiction; historical comic and graphic
novels; and historiographic metafiction. We invite authors and researchers
working in various academic disciplines to submit chapter proposals that look
at post-2000 historical fiction, whether literary, visual and performing art,
e.g., film and television series, or in games.
Submit titles, abstracts (about 600 words), and biographical
notes (about 50 words) by 20 May 2022 to mjoseph@emeritus.rutgers.edu and alicja.bemben@us.edu.pl.
Archiving activism in
the digital age
Contemporary repertoires of protest have been adapting to
digitally-oriented media environments (Tilly 2006; Hoskins 2017; Treré 2018;
Merrill, Keightley, and Daphi 2020), begging the question how they will be
archived for the future. Since the global wave of protests against the murder
of George Floyd in 2020, the debate on archiving activism in the digital age
has gained momentum, bringing activists, archivists, policy makers and scholars
into new dialogue. How to preserve the
cultural production of born-digital movements, why and what should be
preserved, who should do the work, for and on behalf of whom, who can claim the
ownership of social movements’ legacies-in-the-making? The proposed edited volume aims to contribute
to these debates from a broad range of interdisciplinary perspectives.

We Belong To One
Another: Disability and Family Making
https://www.thehastingscenter.org/we-belong-to-one-another-disability-and-family-making/
March 14, 2022, 3:00-5:00 pm Eastern
Ableism frames disability as a “family problem,” in which
disability is a tragedy for nondisabled family members and a disqualifying
factor when disabled people want to build families of their own. But, to the
contrary, disability can create new opportunities for flourishing by
challenging traditional notions of what family is and should be. In this
webinar, disabled writers, activists, and scholars will discuss their own
models of disabled kinship, featuring Jina Kim, Sami Schalk, and Jess Waggoner
on queercrip doulaing, Mia Mingus on access intimacy, and Leah Smith and Joseph
Stramondo on parenting disability gain.
Wendat Women’s Arts:
Indigenous Knowledge and the Academy
https://carleton.ca/icslac/chris-faulkner-lecture-in-cultural-mediations/
Thursday March 3, 1:30 pm, MST
For centuries, women artists of the Wendat First Nation of
Wendake, Quebec have created artworks of intricate design and complex meaning
in moosehair and quill embroidery. Their work records and transmits ancestral
knowledge across generations of artists and remains a vibrant and important
practice today. In Wendat Women’s Arts, Dr. de Stecher brings together a full
history of the Wendat embroidery art form from the eighteenth century to the
present, interwoven with the stories of the artists. Dr. de Stecher will
discuss her approach to carrying out this study and the importance of
revisionist narratives that are grounded in Indigenous knowledge and oral
histories. The lecture will address the interdisciplinarity of Dr. de Stecher's
research and what she learned outside academia, the essential foundation, from
visiting and listening with community members in Wendake.

Centering Resistance:
Imaginings of a New Feminist Future
https://consortium.gws.wisc.edu/conference-2022/
April 7-9, 2022, Fully Virtual Event
This year’s theme rests on an urgent line of inquiry: What
has the pandemic revealed about the type of world we need to rebuild and
reconstruct to foster a new feminist future(s)? What have recent local,
national, and global events taught us about empathy, inclusion, and justice as
we grapple with the present but turn a hopeful gaze toward the future? As we
pause to consider “Centering Resistance: Imaginings of a New Feminist Future,” this
conference foregrounds an intersectional-feminist lens to map out inclusive
societal structures, equitable institutional frameworks, cross-movement
solidarities, and radical reimaginings of the future.

Translations of Our
Bodies, Ourselves
https://www.masshist.org/events/translations-our-bodies-ourselves
Tuesday, March 15, 5:15 PM
This paper investigates the transnational history of the
feminist self-help handbook Our Bodies, Ourselves in the 1970s and 1980s. It
follows sociologist Kathy Davis’s approach of investigating feminism as an
epistemological project and examines from a history of knowledge perspective
how concepts of feminist self-help travelled across the Atlantic. By taking the
chapters on birth control as case studies, this paper will compare the German
adaptions and translations of Our Bodies, Ourselves to the American versions
and examine how different themes evolved regarding the handbooks’ position
towards scientific knowledge, physicians as experts and the pharmaceutical
industry.
