CONFERENCES & WORKSHOPS
Feminist Archival
Methods & Ethics
15-18 February 2023, New York
Many feminist researchers understand their work as a caring
for the archive: highlighting gaps in narratives, addressing intersectional
marginalization, and expanding fields like art history. Political questions of
identity, intentionality, biography, and archival ethics are vital to crafting
scholarship that upholds feminist methodologies. This panel focuses on
posthumously researched histories of women and queer artists, especially those
whose deaths relate to gender-based violence. Writing these histories involves
the extent to which researchers read artists’ deaths, among other biographical
details, into the artwork.
If interested in participating in this panel, send
materials by Friday, August 26, 2022 to co-chairs

Symposium on Gender,
History, and Sexuality UT Austin
https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/history/events-conferences/gender-symposium/call-for-presenters.html
The Symposium provides an interdisciplinary forum for the
discussion of historical approaches to gender, feminism, and sexuality. This
year, we aim to continue building up the community of scholars working with a
Latin American perspective in their historical research. Our goal is to explore
the benefits and challenges of incorporating these issues into historical
research in the region, and to promote the creative and scholarly potential of
gender, feminism, sexuality, and Latin American studies as fields of inquiry. This
year, the seminar will be held via zoom to ensure access and discussion among people
from different countries. Presentations by each speaker should be 30 minutes or
less and can be in Englis or Spanish.
If you are interested in participating in the Symposium,
please send a brief abstract of your presentation (200 words max), and a CV
to gendersymposium@gmail.com.
Center for Women’s
History Early Career Workshop
https://www.nyhistory.org/womens-history/early-career-workshop
The Center for Women’s History Early Career Workshop (ECW)
convenes a select group of doctoral candidates and new scholars in the fields
of American women’s and gender history. Workshop participants meet twice per
month during the academic year to share and revise their works-in-progress with
colleagues in the group and a rotating member of the Center's Scholarly
Advisory Board. By bringing together scholars at the vanguard of women’s and
gender history, the Early Career Workshop aims to incubate new ideas and
methodologies, establish networks between new and established scholars, and
refine participants’ research and writing skills.
Applicants must be doctoral candidates (ABD) currently in
the writing stages of a dissertation or scholars who hold a PhD and are working
on their first book proposal or first book manuscript.
Deadline for submission of applications is August 15, 2022.
Archives and
Knowledge Keepers: Native American and Indigenous Studies and the Art of
History
https://www.bu.edu/amnesp/archives-knowledge-keepers/
Boston University, May 4, 2023
We welcome submissions of proposals from early-career
scholars working in Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) to
participate in a one-day symposium at Boston University, on May 4, 2023.
Indigenous artists, writers, activists, and scholars working in a variety of
fields, periods, and across media, have called for a reevaluation of
traditional Western epistemologies that privilege textual evidence as the only
reliable resource for creating historical narratives. Textual archives are
inherently limited and often privilege elite historical actors who had access
to literacy. This critique of empiricism – evident in NAIS, Black Studies,
American Studies, and Queer Studies, among other fields – has inspired new
considerations of long-established modes of storytelling and knowledge keeping.
Please submit a 500-word abstract and CV by November 1,
2022, to amnesp@bu.edu.

Chair, Robert Tinajero, University of North Texas at Dallas, through email at robert.tinajero@untdallas.edu.
Feminist Visual
Activism for Reproductive Rights
College Art Association, New York, 15-18 Feb 23
Freedom to make choices about one’s body, the fundamental
Human and Constitutional right to autonomy, is continuously abused by multiple
governments worldwide. Visions offered by the rising nationalist, fascist and
racist politics across the globe are founded on anti-democratic separatist
discourses prioritising some bodies over others. This session seeks to
interrogate how contemporary feminist visual activist practice enables the
United Nations’ and European Union’s values and goals concerning gender
equality and women’s rights to be achieved. Feminist visual activism cultivates
forms of creativity that emerge from performative and ethical orientations,
welcoming practices of ontological re-viewing and re-doing otherwise for social
justice. The session invites contributions engaging with visual practices
advocating a politics of change to explore visual strategies of consciousness
raising concerning women’s rights, specifically bodily autonomy.
By August 31, submit a short CV (2 pages) and a
completed proposal form (available to download at: https://caa.confex.com/caa/f/CallForParticipation2023 ),
including an abstract of around 250 words to bsliwinska@fcsh.unl.pt.

Monique Wittig, 20
Years Later
In 2023, we will mark the twentieth anniversary of the
passing of the lesbian activist, writer and philosopher Monique Wittig
(1935-2003), as well as the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of her

Twenty Years Later / Monique Wittig : Vingt ans après ». Hosted jointly by the
Department of French at the University of California – Berkeley and the
Institut des Études Genre at the Université de Genève, this conference seeks to
encourage new directions in scholarship on Wittig and to stimulate
transatlantic and international exchange about her work. The Berkeley leg of
the conference will take place on 17–18 March 2023 and the Geneva one, on 19–21
June 2023. You can download the complete call for papers here. The deadline for submitting proposals is 9
September 2022 via Google Form.

Memory Works: A Symposium
on Remembering and Reckoning with Slavery's Legacies
https://www.locatinglegacies.org/2022-symposium
The Roberson Project on Slavery, Race, and Reconciliation at
the University of the South invites you to join us this October 6-8
(Thursday-Saturday) to attend Memory Works: A Symposium on Remembering and
Reckoning with Slavery's Legacies. The symposium will spotlight ongoing
initiatives that community organizations, colleges, and universities have
undertaken, often in innovative partnerships, to identify, confront, and alter
the legacies of slavery that still resonate in their local environments. It
will bring together community leaders, museum professionals, scholars, and
students in a small and friendly setting designed for generating conversations,
sharing experiences, and workshopping new approaches to commemoration for a
region that still reflects a century of fealty to the "Lost Cause."
All submissions are due no later than September 1, 2022

Teaching the 21st
Century
https://networks.h-net.org/node/21301/discussions/10630991/call-papers-teaching-21st-century
7-8 April 2023
The aim of this conference is to make sense of the 21st
century, to contribute to scholarship about it, and to affect how it’s taught.
Teachers at all levels have become first responders for helping students make
sense of the crises shaping their lives. We want to explore how best to fill
that role. Tremendous popular interest exists about the discipline of history,
the uses of the past, and what historical comparisons are most apt for
understanding the current moment. We seek to identify what matters in the 21st
century, how disparate events and trends are related, which historical
comparisons are relevant, and what larger meanings emerge.
Proposals are due 15 November 2022 and may be emailed to
conference director Dr. Christopher Doyle at doylec@avonoldfarms.com.

Resistant
Resiliences: Mad, Neurodivergent, Disabled, Queer, Trans Performances
https://cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/19854
As educators and scholars who encompass an array of
identities such as Mad, Neurodivergent, Disabled, queer, trans, and non-binary,
and who are also white settlers with educational, class, English-language, and
citizenship privileges; we envision this creative session as illuminating the
creative forms of Mad, Neurodivergent, Disabled, queer, trans, and non-binary
resilience that act as anti-colonial resistance to the harm of the neoliberal
university. We embark on this project of active disloyalty to ableism, sanism,
cisheteropatriarchy, racism, anti-Blackness, misogynoir, xenophobia, and all
oppressive systems that coalesce to seize bodyminds (Price), police deviance,
and enforce normativity. By centering resilience and resistance as an act of
decolonial desire, this creative session invites presenters to circulate all
artistic genres (poetry, fiction, nonfiction, video, performance, etc.) that
imagine into worlds of possibility and transformation.
Abstracts of 250-300 words should be submitted directly on
the NeMLA website by September 30, 2022.

Education as Freedom
& Transformation
March 16 - 18, 2023
This interdisciplinary conference on Women and Gender brings
together participants from all academic fields to engage in wide-ranging
conversations about education as a catalyst for freedom and transformation.
Contributors are encouraged to consider education in the diversity of its
forms, and how “traditional” and/or “alternative” models, both inside and
outside of the classroom, intersect with the politics of gender. What are the
social, economic, and intellectual consequences of denying women and
marginalized communities access to education? Alternatively, how may education
serve as an act of resistance to systems of oppression throughout the world?
Please submit a 350 to 500-word abstract by October
1st, 2022 to gcwg@cnu.edu
Creating Sacred Space
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/10561698/caa-2023-cfp-creating-sacred-space
CAA 2023, New York, 15-18 February 2023.
What does it mean to create a ‘sacred space’? How can
elements of architectural design, materials, lighting, acoustics, and
iconography combine to transcend the everyday? An enduring theme across
cultures, the vast majority of faith traditions have utilized specific spatial
constructs in which to worship and pray, their many shared features including
focal areas, symbolic shapes and proportions, delimitations and barriers,
gender divisions, and hierarchical segregation. With a view to reassessing the
so-called “spatial turn” in the Humanities, this session invites papers from a
broad chronological, cultural, and geographical range that analyze and
interpret sacred space from a variety of historical and theoretical
perspectives.
Deadline: August 31st, 2022

Science Fictions +
Extraction
http://www.lsfrc.co.uk/events/call-for-papers-sf-extraction/
8-9 October, Online
As Earth burns, capital continues to plunder more and more
material with which to fuel its own destructive growth. ‘Extraction’ entails
the removal – usually forcible – and conversion of the human and inhuman into
marketable materials. In so doing, nature as such becomes implicated in human
politics across a variety of tangled, exploitative confluences. Sf builds new
worlds, sometimes from the same components that constitute our present reality,
sometimes with alternative ingredients and values toward more just and
equitable ways of being. For our 2022 conference, the LSFRC welcomes
submissions that explore the theme of Science Fiction + Extraction. We invite
proposals for papers, panels, workshops, performances, and creative responses
to the theme, and we would like to actively encourage alternative and
innovative forms of presentation and engagement.
Please email proposals (150-300 words + 25-50 word author
bios) and/or enquiries to lsfrcmail@gmail.com by August
31st.
PUBLICATIONS
Sound And Affect In
Times Of Crisis
Inspired by the inaugural Music and Sound Studies Working
Group at the Cultural Studies Association 2022 conference, this special issue
of American Music Perspectives invites submissions that help to think through
the ways that music and sound relate to the socio-political valences of our
current crisis conditions: the recent overturning of Roe Vs. Wade; the open
legislative assault on LGBTQ+ communities via “don’t say gay” and anti-trans*
bills; the continued targeting of racial minorities by both citizens and the
state; the traumas and inflationary pressures wrought by the pandemic; the war
in Ukraine; voter disenfranchisement and minority rule; the rapidly
accelerating climate crisis, and more.
Please submit abstracts and brief bios to Christine Capetola
(ccapetola@fullerton.edu) and Dan
DiPiero (ddipiero@ithaca.edu) by September
15, 2022 with the subject line “AMP Submission.”
Textual-Sexual-Spiritual:
Artistic Practice and Other Rituals as Queer Becoming and Beyond
This issue of Rejoinder addresses the relationships between
text/artwork, sexuality, and spirituality to navigate tensions of being and
becoming. We invite interdisciplinary submissions ranging from critical essays
to poetry to artwork to address this theme using a queer feminist lens. For
example, this might involve elements of witchcraft and ritual braided into
interrogations of patriarchal and imperial institutionality; or, discussions of
the dynamics of polyamory in the context of professional practices, resource
building, and strategies for feminist worldmaking. We particularly welcome
contributions linking scholarship, artistic practice, and activism. Together,
these contributions will celebrate textual, sexual, artistic, and spiritual
innovations in contemporary feminist work.
Send submissions to irw@sas.rutgers.edu with
"Rejoinder Submission" in the subject line by December
15, 2022.

Teaching with Primary
Sources
Notes from the Field, a publication of the TPS Collective,
is now accepting submissions about teaching with primary sources for three
series of peer-reviewed blog posts: “Public-Facing Scholarship and Outreach,”
“Internships and Long-Term Student Project Management,” and “Accessibility and
Access in the Primary Source Classroom.”
Contributions should be 1000-1200 words and will be subject
to Notes from the Field’s peer review process. Posts will be published on a
rolling basis beginning in September 2022.
This special issue of Reception will investigate the pasts
and presents of reading time through multiple angles and disciplinary approaches.
Readers of all kinds and inclinations—from Janice Radway’s romance readers, to
Berg & Seeber’s slow professors—steal time to read from the temporal
demands of their families, jobs, and other leisure activities. At the same
time, reading time expands: readers are reading all the time, in the distracted
and fragmented modes associated with email and social media. Perhaps readers
have to “steal” because reading time is not easily assimilable to the rhythms
of modern life, including the temporalities of capitalist production and
consumption. This is not just true of the “digital age”; attempts abound
throughout the last century and a half to make reading more efficient.
Initial proposals: September 30, 2022
Please send queries and proposals, with subject line “Reception 2023,” to: amy.blair@marquette.edu.
The Visibility and
Invisibility of Violence
https://www.pismowidok.org/en/cfp/36-the-visibility-and-invisibility-of-violence
With the disintegration of the post-war geopolitical and
aesthetic order, we want to ask whether the shift of violence from the
invisible to the visible is a critical strategy, or whether it confirms and
installs violence in the field of representation by subjecting it to
aesthetization and normalization? How have developments in visual (and social)
media affected the relationship between the visibility and invisibility of
violence? What artistic strategies are associated with violence and its
visualization?
abstract deadline: September 1, 2022.

1990s Pop Culture
Historifans, a pop culture history site that seeks to create
conversations that link current historical research with contemporary fandoms,
is looking for pitches that focus on anything and everything ‘90s. We are looking for articles that historicize
and analyze 1990s pop culture in exciting ways. Like all of our Historifans articles,
articles should be approximately 1500 words, incorporate current historical
research, and must be accessible/readable for non-academic audiences. Every
pitch and article that we receive will go through a full review process. To get
a sense of our style, please visit historifans.org.
Are you interested in pitching an idea? Rad! Please fill out
this form: https://forms.gle/cjxdetHFYrxT7gnRA
Please email dsanchez@coloradocollege.edu or historifans@gmail.com if you have
any questions.
Nonbinary
https://womensstudiesquarterly.com/issues/cfp/
This special issue of WSQ reflects upon the work that the
word “nonbinary” does in terms of unsettling the codes of gender, sexuality,
race, and other categories of being and knowing. For this issue, we understand
“nonbinary” to serve as a direct challenge to the tenacity of binary logics,
ethics, and orientations. Not only located in, but perhaps most recognizably found
in discussions of gender and sexuality, nonbinary must be thought in relation
to deep conceptions of identity and belonging across the spectrum of power and
difference. We, as guest editors, ask how it is the case that nonbinary
representations and narratives circulate through culture, why it is the case
that nonbinariness and its intersections with other identities continues to be
overlooked in relation to LGBTQIA+, feminist theory, critical race,
postcolonial, and, specifically, trans studies, and how we can resist binary
ideologies and practices to reposition nonbinary as the intentional practice of
freedom. Nonbinary, in short, might be a way to enact, finally, feminist
life—life unbeholden to normative, circumscriptive impositions that stem, in no
small part, from heteropatriarchy.
Priority Deadline: September 15, 2022
For questions, please

After the Economic
Miracle, A Call for Papers from Radical History Review
https://www.radicalhistoryreview.org/2022/08/05/after-the-economic-miracle-due-may-1-2023/
This special issue invites contributions that critically
trace the utopias/dystopias of economic miracles. To this end, we seek to
unpack the kind of work the idea of “miracle” performs in the domain of
economy. To believe in a miracle is to be in awe, to witness something happen
that is conceptually deemed impossible—for example, the incredibly high rates
of growth and low rates of inflation of the economic miracle orchestrated by
Brazil’s military dictatorship. This sense of the miraculous is what is invoked
to denote the wonder of economic growth, to reassign nations and world areas
that were once deemed to be “lagging behind” as emerging markets filled with promise
and possibilities. The term “economic miracle” is, then, intricately tied with
manifold crises of poverty and destruction in times of peace and war. This
historical dialectic between ruins and reconstruction, decline and emergence
remains at the heart of this phenomenon.
By May 1, 2023 please submit a 1-2 page abstract summarizing
the article you wish to submit as an attachment to contactrhr@gmail.com.
Dead Women and
Gendered Death in Visual Culture
https://maifeminism.com/cfp-dead-women-and-gendered-death-in-visual-culture/
The upcoming focus issue of MAI: Feminism and Visual Culture
seeks papers offering critical and creative insights into representations of
dead women, the dead female body and gendered death. The mounting demand for
death-centric shows, films, music videos, and texts has made it obvious that
death sells. However, as bell hooks argues, typically ‘the death that captures
the public imagination … is passionate, sexualised, glamorised and violent’.
(2021 [1994]) More often than not, it is the death of a woman. What are the
gender politics and risks of readily available images of dead women in the
global context? We wish to investigate representations of female deaths and
corpses to interrogate whether such depictions are symptomatic of a culture
that situates the female body as complementary to the male and treats
femininity as a spectacle. The issue will contribute to such debates by
bringing together critical reflection and creative work on popular culture,
art, film and other related fields.
Submit one PDF to contact@maifeminism.com & gendereddeath@gmail.com by Nov. 30
Present Futures
https://www.on-culture.org/cfa15/
In times when the present seems to be facing an imminent –
and immanent – crisis, we want to take a step forward and investigate how
various concepts and imaginaries of the future can be made fruitful for the
present. The 15th issue of On_Culture seeks to explore forms of present futures
– futures that manifest in the present and a/effect it – to provide new
approaches and critical perspectives to thinking about the future in the study
of culture.How are futures and their a/effect on the present conceptualized in
different disciplines and time periods? What role does the concept of future
enact in different dispositifs? How do cultural artifacts (works of art, film,
literature, popular culture) and social practices set to work particular
understandings of the future?
Submit an abstract of 300 words with the article title, 5–6
keywords, a short biographical note, and your email address to content@on-culture.org.
The Future of Nature:
Alternative Approaches to Sustainable Development
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability/special_issues/Alternative_Approaches_Sustainable
Much has been written on how approaches to sustainability
can lead to better outcomes for the natural world, and some scholars have
sought to explore how policy might be crafted to avoid the most severe
trade-offs between development and improved environmental outcomes. Despite
these attempts, the broader sustainable development literature has
underexplored the potential of voluntary alternatives and other governance
mechanisms to accomplish both development and environmental goals absent
large-scale state intervention. We invite submissions that extend these
literatures as well as others that explore alternative approaches to
sustainable development and help to better address the potential trade-offs
between development and conserving the natural world.
The official deadline for submission is 30 November 2022.

Quest/ion of Margins:
Survival Narrative in Indigenous Film and Literature
The quest/ion of margins urges the inclusion of indigenous
film and literature in the canon of mainstream literature and reconsiders the
marginal place of indigenous people, their culture, and aesthetic tradition to
dominant canons of dominant thought and culture. The image of indigenous people
in mainstream cultural society has been largely a product of misrepresentation,
social, and political vehemence in which they remained marginalized to their
land and reservation by finding themselves on the margins of tribal identity
and removed from the centre of power within their culture. North American
Native authors argue that margins as separate canons in showing their hatred
towards white missionaries and the federal government.

Animated Wor(l)ds:
Language and Relationality for Multispecies Kinship
https://languageandrelationalitycfp.wordpress.com/
For this volume, we invite contributions that seek to
cultivate multispecies kinship by encouraging alternative ways of relating to,
thinking about, and entering into conversation with the animate world. Inspired
by the etymological ties to the land of the verb cultivate, this work aims at
digging deep down along the epistemic roots of anthroparchy. Academics,
artists, and activists may respond in many ways: we can critically think
through the current crises, we can speak up against injustices, or we can act
upon them by practicing a paradigm shift in our ways of knowing, thinking, and
relating. This volume is intended to promote this kind of action – by offering
a toolkit on how to relate more justly and sustainably to the animate world.
The power and potential of language can aid us in doing so, and the volume will
therefore focus on the semiotic dimensions of relationality and on language in
its relational capacity.
The deadline for abstract submission is November 30, 2022.

EVENTS: WORKSHOPS, TALKS,
CONFERENCES
Teaching Conference -
Uncharted Territories
https://conferences.h-net.org/event/2/
Registration is now open for the Inaugural H-Net Teaching
Conference! This will be an online Zoom conference taking place August 29
through September 2, 2022. Our theme for this inaugural conference, “Uncharted
Territories: Teaching History, Humanities, and Social Sciences in Innovative
Ways,” will resonate with teachers at all levels of the educational system and
especially in history and related fields in the humanities and social sciences.
In an era when educators are hit with top-down models of assessment, forced to
redesign courses for remote work, confined in curricular development by book
bans, and under assault over public misconceptions of supposedly teaching
Critical Race Theory, this conference will provide a gathering to discuss and
to learn ways to chart through the challenges teachers face in the classroom
including threats to academic freedom.
Free and open to the public
