From Here to There: The Ephemera of Travel
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/10313381/here-there-ephemera-travel
Ephemera 43, the Ephemera Society of America (ESA) annual
conference, will take place at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, Connecticut, on
March 17, 2023. Each speaker will address a topic related to travel, relying
heavily on tangible ephemera -posters, tickets, brochures, deck plans, official
travel documents, menus, trade cards, broadsides, receipts, souvenirs,
correspondence, itineraries, photographs, postcards, maps, diaries - to
illustrate their subject. Keep in mind that our focus is not just the
destination, but the promotion and planning, the means of getting there and the
records/remembrances that we choose to keep.
roposals must be submitted by September 15, 2022 to Barbara
Loe, Ephemera 43 Conference Chair, by e-mail at bjloe@earthlink.net.

Biopolitics, the Ecology of Humanity, and the
Anthropocene
ERA is a project which aims to foster transnational
cooperatives between early-stage researchers and build bridges between people,
places, and institutions, instead of vying for grants, scholarships, and
publications. We want to bring a new approach to academia by creating an
inclusive space of encounters. The ERA conference last year had participants
look into the past, and this year, we invite applicants to look at the present
and consider the future as they ponder the possibilities and alternatives
afforded to us by our current situation - i.e. the Coronavirus pandemic and the
war in Ukraine. This year’s ERA conference focuses on studying the relationship
humans have to their constructed social environments as well as the planet in
which they inhabit and act upon through biopolitics, the ecology of humanity,
and the Anthropocene.
There will be three panels held over three days of our
hybrid/virtual event, with each day devoted to one of the following categories:
Science, History, and Media/Literature. Abstracts (up to 300 words) are due 13th
August 2022, midnight GMT to: eracademics@gmail.com

Reimagining the American Landscape: Race and the Future
of Public History
https://memoryproject.virginia.edu/sawyer-seminar
2022-23 academic year
This seminar assumes that the future of American Democracy
hinges on historical truth-telling, that realizing change in the American
historical imagination requires partnerships beyond the academy, and that the
most impactful public history is grounded in local places. Grounded in these
convictions, this seminar convenes historians and activists, creatives,
communicators, curators, entrepreneurs, and preservationists to develop new
initiatives in the work of reshaping the American historical imagination.
Applications should be sent to Maria Lane (mcl9th@virginia.edu) by JULY 1, 2022.
Sustainability Culture and the Sense of Belongingness to
the Land
https://iac.nchu.edu.tw/en/sustainabilityoffice/Sustainability.culture.conference
held online on September 29 & 30, 2022
THE CONFERENCE therefor seeks to further the debate on how
culture defines our drive and thrust toward sustainability from an
interdisciplinary approach. It seeks to further the dialogue on what
sustainability culture means exactly in the 21st century. The conference seeks
to explore the issues that hinder the achievement of the Great AgroEcologial
Transition, and what cultural change is needed to advance this in general. In
particular the conference is intended to examine the role and importance in
that process of the sense of human belongingness to the land, the environment,
and more broadly, to the Earth.
Proposal due July 15, 2022 to theodoorrichard@nchu.edu.tw

Critical Making and Social Justice
On May 26–28, 2023, the Humanities, Arts, Science, and
Technology Collaboratory (HASTAC), in partnership with Pratt Institute, will be
guests on Lenapehoking—the traditional and unceded homeland of the Lenape
people, past, present, and future—facilitating a conference at the intersection
of thinking, making, and justice work. By “critical making,” we imagine careful
attention to how things are made, to the processes and social embeddedness of
our work, and how we teach and enact those processes with others. In employing
the language of social justice, we recognize that “justice” is a human urge
manifesting in various ways across cultures, and that many encounters with
actual and historical justice systems are unfair, unequal, and corrupt. HASTAC
2023 welcomes submissions from practitioners at all stages of their careers;
from all disciplines, occupations, and fields; and from groups as well as
individuals, including independent scholar-practitioners, artists, and
activists.
Deadline: October 2, 2022
Animals and Restorative Justice Symposium
Friday, July 29, 2022
The goal of this event is to bring together practitioners,
academics, service providers, researchers, and others who are considering the
relationship between animal law and restorative justice. In recent years,
animal law scholars and activists have critiqued punitive and retributive
approaches to crimes against animals as unjust and ineffective. This symposium
will explore methods of recognizing the harms inflicted on animal victims,
rehabilitating offenders, and addressing deeper, structural causes of animal
abuse.

Extractivism and Uneasy Times: Sacrifices, Recoveries,
and Resistances
Our Call for Participation for the 2022-2023
Post/Extractivism Working Group takes place in the context of (among other
things) the persistence of the Covid-19 pandemic, rising geopolitical tensions,
overlapping and compounding climate crises, and all of the ecological and human
inequalities these have exposed and amplified. After a very successful
inaugural series focused on extraction in the Americas, the post/extractivisms
working group is excited to announce our second series for 2022-2023 with an
expanded, global, scope. Our aim is to gather early career and established
scholars, activists, and others working in and around the evolving role of
resource extraction in the preset conjuncture and its historical antecedents.
We will hold meetings virtually once per month to discuss pre-circulated draft
papers, book chapters, and excerpts of manuscripts – one paper per meeting.
Please submit a title and abstract to: donald.kingsbury@utoronto.ca

The African American Intellectual History Society
(AAIHS)’s Eighth Annual Conference
https://www.aaihs.org/conference-2023-general-information/
March 9-11, 2023
This conference seeks to bring together scholars, activists,
public intellectuals and community stakeholders interested in presenting on the
theme of crisis, catastrophe and sustaining community in relation to the
history and culture of African Diaspora communities. What are the major points
of crisis and catastrophe that have faced African Diaspora communities over
time and space? In what ways have Black Diaspora communities over time thought
about (and implemented) securing adequate housing, equitable access to
education, abolitionism, healthy food, clean water, and equitable environmental
conditions? What roles have Black women played in mitigating crisis in the
community?
Conference co-chair at conference@aaihs.org
Deadline for Submissions: August 1, 2022.
Expanding Black and Indigenous Ecologies
This special issue draws on these convergences between
global Black and Indigenous calls for justice to contribute to ongoing
conversations and generate new perspectives about the entanglements between
ecologies and environmental inequality in Black and Indigenous contexts. We are
particularly interested in foregrounding writing that generates new ways of
thinking about the relationships between ecologies, Indigeneity, and Blackness.
This issue aims to trace historical as well as contemporary relationships, and
attend to the linkages and disruptions at work in Black and Indigenous
ecologies, especially in the midst of climate change which continues to affect
those who are least responsible for the planet’s degradation. Our proposed
issue differs from previous issues of English Language Notes that foreground
Indigenous hemispheric narratives, or that traverse other new environmental
humanities trajectories, by specifically centering environmental humanities
discussions that prioritize reading Black and Indigenous frames of references
together.
Please send abstracts/ proposals (up to 250 words) to F.

Resistance and
Subjectivities in the Digital Public Space
https://www.ucm.es/digitalpublicspace/events
KU Leuven (hybrid), 8 - 9 September 2022
The purpose of this conference is to interrogate the
theoretical and political implications of the digitalization of public space.
This conference will explore the different articulations of resistance and
subjectivities that are made possible with the digitalization of the public
sphere. It will interrogate the forms of individual agency and collectivities
that manifest themselves in an online space and how these relate to their
physical manifestation in the public space. We invite papers that are rooted in
concrete analysis of resistance and subjectivity formation in the digital
public space. We particularly encourage those working in the fields of feminist
theory; decolonial, postcolonial, and critical race studies; political
philosophy; cultural studies; media studies; modern languages (especially
French and Francophone studies); and literary and film studies to submit
abstracts. Three places will be reserved for the participation of Early Career
Researchers (late-stage PhD, postdoctoral researchers).
Please send abstracts of 250 - 400 words to dpsrn@ucm.es by 29 June 2022
Belonging &
Mobility
https://nias.knaw.nl/conference/open-call-belonging-mobility/
19 to 21 April 2023 in Amsterdam
The NIAS Conference looks to unpack ‘Belonging’ as
understood from a static default, and instead to inquire into, and
re-conceptualize, belonging as not singular and place-bound but rather as a
process or a doing. Can looking from ‘Mobility’ provide for alternatives
sources for the Studies of Belonging? The conference will be structured around
five ‘spheres’ where important narratives and practices of belonging are being
negotiated and rendered (im)mobile. Each of these will be curated by a renowned
scholar in the field. And for each of the spheres, we will look to unpack their
‘immobile’ default as well as to investigate what it would bring to rethink the
work of belonging which people, and other species, undertake as fundamentally
related to modalities and infrastructures of mobility.
30 June 2022: Deadline for Submission of Proposals
The Making of a
Social Movement: The Oratorical and Rhetorical Legacies of the Colored
Convention Movement
https://digblk.psu.edu/events/cfp-oratorical-rhetorical-legacies-colored-conventions-movement/
The Colored Conventions Project at the Center for Black
Digital Research will host a hybrid symposium that will focus on the rhetorical
artistry and dynamism that made up the Colored Conventions and Black
nineteenth-century America. We invite papers that not only examine specific
orators and their oratory, but we also welcome papers that offer rhetorical
studies of the convention themselves. We also invite scholars to examine how
delegates constructed and refuted arguments, how they debated with each other,
and how they went about establishing the Black rhetorical tradition. Knowing
that the convention minutes did not include speeches by women, as we did
before, we also want to “highlight the organizational work of Black women who
have been largely erased from convention minutes and hope to account for the
crucial work done by women in the broader social networks that made these
conventions possible.”

Feminist Strike
https://journals.msvu.ca/index.php/atlantis/callforpapers
A Special Issue of the Journal Atlantis: Critical Studies in
Gender, Culture and Social Justice
Following Veronika Gago’s discussion of the March 8
International Women’s Strike as feminist internationalism from below, this
special issue seeks contributions that provide insight into the history,
practice and significance of feminist strike in transnational perspective. The
special issue will focus on ‘feminist strike’ as both practice and conceptual
metaphor, one that provides a way to connect diverse forms of resistance,
including the Polish Women's Strike, mass mobilisations against femicide and
inequalities in Latin America and Italy, and the gender dimension of protests
against the politics of authoritarian states such as Belarus, Russia, Egypt and
Syria. Reflections on the longue durée of feminist dissent during, and in the
aftermath of revolutionary upheaval, including, for instance, historical
experiences of women’s antifascist struggle in the former Yugoslavia, and
women’s activism against apartheid in South Africa, are welcomed. The special
issue aims to provide a critical lens for thinking with strike and thinking
different strikes together, in order to explore connections between bodies,
conflicts and territories and to assemble diverse politics and poetics of
feminist struggle, protest and liberation across space and time.
Submission Deadline for Abstracts: 30 June 2022

Women, “Failure” and
Academia Post-2020,
This collection will explore the situation of women in the
post-2020 academy, while taking a counterintuitive lens that privileges
failures rather than successes. Instead of celebrating successes or providing
habitual lists of academic achievements, we aim to examine the unfinished, the
unattained, the unconventional—that which doesn’t fit neatly and tidily into a
narrative of modern academia and academic life. Taking Jack Halberstam’s
theorisation of failure in The Queer Art of Failure (2011) as our starting
point, we are interested in the purposeless, the culturally anarchic, the
quirky in post-2020 academia and women’s position in it. The present co-edited
collection will, thus, explore the present academic moment: Where are we going?
Indeed, are we going anywhere? Do universities have a future? And women in
them? And if so, what is such present and such future?
Please send us your abstracts (200-300 words) and a short
biographical note (100 words) before 15 September 2022 to
Dr Marina Cano (marina.cano@hivolda.no) and Dr Rosa García-Periago (rosagperiago@um.es).
We are looking for two chapters to complete a manuscript
currently in development with a publisher.
We invite chapter proposals for a collection of critical essays that
examine how women vigilantes, anti-heroines, and outlaws were represented in
movie serials, radio dramas, films, comics, and pulp fiction in America at the
turn of the century. We encourage
proposals that consider how representations of women intersect with matters of
class, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and the gendered mores of mass culture. We
especially welcome submissions that examine lesser-known figures, though a
well-written chapter on a character like Wonder Woman would be considered.
Chapters may also examine historical figures, such as Calamity Jane, but the
analysis should focus on their representation in popular media, rather than
their biography.
Please send abstracts of 500-750 words by July 15th to: brayg@newpaltz.edu
20th and 21st-Century Urban Masculinities:
Representations, Practices, Performances
The planned anthology, entitled 20th and 21st-Century Urban
Masculinities: Representations, Practices, Performances, intends to take
account of this heterogeneous and often conflicting plurality by exploring
masculinities and urban spaces as they intersect with sexuality, race, class,
ability, age, nationality and similar identity categories. We invite
contributions from the fields of cultural studies, gender studies, media
studies, urban studies, literary studies, history, sociology, and related
disciplines that examine the discourses of urban masculinities, particularly as
(re)produced in literature, film, television, digital / social media, art,
drama / theatre, journalism, and material culture (e.g., architecture). Papers
should explore the ways in which particular urban spaces have shaped and have,
in turn, been shaped by the production, representation and performance of
specific masculinities. In particular, we encourage contributions that seek to
explicitly redress the hegemonic status quo by placing emphasis on, e.g.,
non-white, working-class or queer masculinities in contemporary urban spaces.
Please email 300-word abstracts for 6000-7000-word papers to
Heike Steinhoff and Cornelia Wächter at heike.steinhoff@rub.de

Outside Voices: Art, Visibility, and the Gender of Public
Speech
https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issues/outside-voices/
Whether with text, voice, or written inscription, modern and
contemporary art has a rich (if not fully acknowledged) tradition of
incorporating language and speech. Often, this choice has a political point,
and recently scholars have charted how artists aligned with feminism have drawn
on that tradition to craft arguments that reveal and intervene in the gender
asymmetries of global visual culture. “Outside Voices” considers how artists have
made language into a material capable of speaking to the inequities of the
public sphere and explores how the gendered subtexts of language and speech
figure into them. We are particularly interested in scholarship and artwork
that explores or stages ‘dialogues’ between language and the codes of
visibility and recognition upon which global visual culture relies. We are

Teaching Black American Speculative Fiction & Beyond:
Equity, Justice, and Antiracism
The collection will focus on equity, justice, and antiracism
within different genres/modes of speculative fiction (e.g., science fiction,
fantasy, horror) and various formats (e.g., short and long fiction, film,
graphic novels, comics, and plays). Each chapter will apply a theoretical lens
or critical approach to a text and describe ways in which the text can be used
for engaging secondary-school students to think, talk, and write about issues
of equity, justice, and antiracism.
To be considered for this project, send us (khintonj@odu.edu and karen.chandler@louisville.edu) a
brief (200-300 word) abstract describing the focus of your chapter and a

Centering Blackness in Fan Studies
https://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/announcement/view/117
This special issue centers Blackness in fandom studies.
Fandom studies has gestured toward race generally, and Blackness in particular,
from its alleged white center while always keeping race at its margin. It has
largely co-opted the language of race, difference, and diversity from the
margins and recentered it around white geeks and white women. Indeed, fandom
studies has done lots of things—except deal with its race problem. For this special
issue, we seek to privilege and celebrate Blackness, not as a comparative but
as enough on its own. We want essays that build on the relatively small but
groundbreaking scholarly work that centers Black fandoms.
Submit final papers directly to Transformative Works and
Cultures by January 1, 2023.

Revolutionary Papers: Counter-Institutions, -Politics and
-Cultures of Anticolonial Periodicals in the Global South
Radical History Review seeks contribution for a
special issue entitled Revolutionary Papers. This issue will examine
periodicals and other print ephemera—including newspapers, cultural and
literary journals, magazines, and pamphlets—as sites of Left, anti-imperial,
and anti-colonial critical production across the Global South. During struggles
against colonialism, Apartheid, and postcolonial violence, revolutionary papers
generated oppositional networks, critical politics, left mobilizations,
literary scenes, and alternative artistic practices.

Transraciality
In 2015, the case of Rachel Doležal sparked a heated debate
about transraciality and helped to establish an academic examination of the
subject. The scholarly consideration of transraciality is in its formative
stages and this edited collection is an effort to expand and develop the
existing discussion. The first of its kind, this volume will include interdisciplinary
contributions from scholars who bring a wide range of perspectives and
approaches to the subject. We are interested in chapters that help us, as an
academic community, better understand transraciality as a concept or practice. We
welcome submissions from scholars working in a wide range of disciplines.
Submit your abstract by 30 June 2022 as an attached Word document
to both editors: Rebecca Tuvel (tuvelr@rhodes.edu)

Being and Becoming:
Of Femininities in the Malay World Through 50 Images
https://www.beingandbecomingmalayworld.com/
Date: 12 May 2022 – 31 Aug 2022
Being and Becoming: Of Femininities in the Malay World
Through 50 Images engages with collections of archival photographs, postcards
and illustrations from the mid-1800s to the 1950s. They feature people and
places of the Malay world, encompassing the region of present-day Singapore,
Malaysia and Indonesia. In examining thousands of images held in collections
all over the world, we select 50 iconic images to actively view them as living
cultural products open to reinterpretation and methods of analysis. Employing
the three broad themes of Body, Space and Activity, these 50 primary images
have been selected to raise questions, in the eyes of contemporary viewers, of
received ideas on femininities, as they intersect with social class, place,
race and empire in the Malay world.

Cash Flow: The
businesses of menstruation by Camilla Mørk Røstvik
Open access book: https://www.uclpress.co.uk/products/141638
Cash Flow provides a new academic study of the menstrual
corporate landscape that links its twentieth-century origins to the current
‘menstrual moment’. Drawing on a range of previously unexplored archival
materials and interviews with industry insiders, each chapter examines one key
company and brand: Saba in Norway, Essity in Sweden, Tambrands in the Soviet
Union, Procter & Gamble in Britain and Europe, Kimberly-Clark in North
America, and start-ups Clue and Thinx. By engaging with these corporate collections,
the book highlights how the industry has survived as its consumers continually
change.
Fat Liberation Archive
This archive is an offering. A collection of the fat
liberation cultural and organizing history we have access to: zines, flyers,
articles, audio recordings, and other evidence of the lives of fat
liberation-oriented queers, anarchists, feminists, lesbians, and
revolutionaries from the 1970s to today, mostly from the US and the UK. This is
a people’s archive, a labor of community love meant to ensure the fat activists
of today and tomorrow know some of the radical Fat Liberation history that made
our lives possible: the dreams and joys and community and epiphanies and love, the
struggles and pains and ignorance and mistakes. There is vital learning in all
aspects of movement history. It is vital that this learning is accessible to
all, not boxed up in a library or behind a paywall, reachable from your bed,
readable by a screen-reader and image described. We look to the past to fatten
our vision of the future. We hope with time and care this archive will grow
beyond us.
Early Research Academics
ERA stands for Early Research Academics and is a

to foster transnational cooperatives between early stage researchers and build
bridges between people, places, and institutions. We want to bring a new
approach to academia by creating an inclusive space of encounters and a
starting point for important conversations and debates.

Picturing Black
History: A Digital Humanities Platform
https://www.picturingblackhistory.org/
Part of Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective —
published jointly by Ohio State and Miami University — Picturing Black History
contributes to an ongoing public dialogue on the significance of Black history
and Black life in the United States and around the world. Picturing Black
History directly embraces the power of historical understanding to help
reexamine visual history through digital formats, challenging the inherent
biases of 200 years of photographic history. The project uses the power of
visuals to highlight stories of oppression and resistance, perseverance and
resilience, freedom dreams, imagination and joy within the United States and
around the globe.

Write Where It Hurts
https://writewhereithurts.net/
By creating this site, we hope to provide a space for
teachers and researchers doing deeply personal work and / or confronting
emotional encounters related to the subjects they study to share their insights
and experiences with others. To this end, we will provide stories from teachers
and researchers that highlight the personal and emotional aspects of scholarly
practice as well as informative posts geared toward providing resources and
building community around teachers and researchers brave enough to write where
it hurts in hopes of one day witnessing a better world for themselves and
others. Write where it hurts is an inclusive space for all standpoints, and
thus we are committed to egalitarian and multi-perspective communication,
dialogue, and conversation wherein all voices have the same value and
opportunity in this web community.
