CONFERENCES & WORKSHOPS
Questioning Cross Disciplinarity in Teaching and Learning
https://amps-research.com/conference/teaching/
Conference: 15-17 November 2022, virtual
As educators, we strive to improve the collective quality of
life by approaching issues through our unique lenses, science, art, psychology.
Although this common goal unites all of us, we spend a great deal of time
focusing on our differences, often approaching problems and potential solutions
in silos. Under the banner of “Creativity, Flexibility, and Innovation in
Education” this Conference strand call invites contributions questioning cross
disciplinarity in teaching and learning from a range of standpoints. Our own
particular discipline areas are art and design but we seek dialogue with
educators from beyond these fields who are exploring creative, flexible and
innovative ways of working outside the standard limits of their particular
discipline areas.

Transformative Education – from design to the social
sciences
https://amps-research.com/teaching-uod/
Dates: 15-17 November 2022, virtual
Understanding the complexity of place and societal issues,
and our roles as designers, advisors or practitioners in various fields is
essential. In shaping and re-shaping places, services and community practices
of various sorts, students have the opportunity to look holistically at the
inter-connection of society, structures, and space, but also to understand how
they might contribute and be part of the problem they are addressing and its
solution. If it is said that “the people coming out of the world’s best
colleges and universities are leading us down the current unhealthy,
inequitable, and unsustainable path” how might design education change
direction?

Teaching for Social Justice
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/10765865/teaching-social-justice
The pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement have cast a
spotlight on inequalities in educational opportunities in the United States. The
History Teacher, a peer-reviewed journal that covers history pedagogy and
the history of education, seeks submissions for a special issue that examine
the challenges and successes of teaching history/social science for and about
issues of social justice and democratic citizenship in classrooms at all levels

Print: Theories, Histories, and Futures
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/10696433/print-theories-histories-and-futures
February 23-25, 2023, University of South Carolina
(Columbia)
This conference takes an inclusive approach to literatures
and other disciplines from any linguistic or national tradition in order to
generate broad discussions about theories, histories, and futures of print.
Digitization continues to increase access to historical materials and to inform
our teaching and research of literary texts. Along the way, digital methods and
interfaces call new attention to features of printed works that can either be
lost in the process or invite reflection on long histories of media
revolutions. Work that considers the nature of the printed text from any
critical approach are welcome.
Please send a 250-word proposal to cpltconf@mailbox.sc.edu

When publics co-produce history in museums: skills,
methodologies and impact of participation
As part of a series of events on public participation in
history museums, we now open the call to participate in the 2022 International
Symposium. Organised by the Public History as new Citizen Science of the Past
project, the symposium will take place on 7 December 2022 (fully online). The
2022 symposium focuses on groups and communities who become active participants
in the production of history in museums. Many institutions have developed
inclusive frameworks that allow for a diversity of publics to contribute to
collecting, researching or managing objects, or designing exhibitions.
Different publics do not simply consume history in museums (as visitors or
users) but may also contribute to preserving, producing, and exhibiting
history.

Trauma and Resilience in Asian American Literature and
Culture
https://cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/20107
From Chinese exclusion, to Japanese American internment,
racist immigration quotas, US military occupations across Asia, and racialized
discrimination and violence, the histories of Asian America are fraught with
traumatic experiences of war, discrimination, exploitation, and exclusion. This
panel seeks papers that speak not only to the ways in which Asian American
subjectivities have been shaped by trauma, but also how resilience and
resistance in the face of such traumas are both represented and enacted through
Asian American literary and cultural productions. These questions are
particularly vital in this moment, as we’ve seen a startling and precipitous
rise in anti-Asian violence in the United States since 2020.

Afrofuturism and
African Futurism: Speculative Fiction of Africa and the African Diaspora
Submit 300-word abstracts and brief bio to https://cfplist.com/nemla/Home/CFP by
September 30, 2022
Afrofuturism, a term coined in the 1990s and meant to
encompass speculative writings and culture from Africa and the African
Diaspora, has become over the years a vibrant genre of literary and arts culture.
Speculative fiction has long been thought to be the realm of primarily western,
white, and male authors. However, from as far back as W. E. B. Du Bois’s “The
Comet” in 1920 to Ryan Coogler’s vision of Black Panther, writers and artists
of African descent have been casting their creativity toward the future to
embrace and engage themes of race, gender, technology, and the future of
humanity. Just as speculative fiction has always done, Afrofuturism illuminates
contemporary issues by placing them in fantastical contexts, more specifically
Afrofuturism addresses themes and concerns that have been otherwise neglected
in the science fiction/fantasy canon. This panel seeks to examine Afrofuturist
and African Futurist literature to highlight voices of black empowerment and to
privilege black narratives in speculative fiction, science fiction, and fantasy
from Africa and the African Diaspora.

Lived Space, Past and Present
https://amps-research.com/visioning-qub/
01-03 December 2022
This Conference Strand Call seeks to explore the
relationship between space as “lived” and experienced in-person and its
representation and experience on screen and, more broadly, as moving image. Narrative
practices and memory-making processes in art and cultural projects help us
signify the implications of “lived space” in physical settings. Mediated
arrangements of space through the visual arts abstract lived experience,
bringing it to our attention but also inviting us to question our relationship
to various spaces. Installation art has, from its inception, blurred the
boundary between art as an object and the live experience of art as a spatial
entity.

Women and Conflict
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/10882371/cfp-women-and-conflict
The Carleton-Temple Universities Consortium on Women,
Marriage and the Household invites proposals for our fourth annual meeting, May
14-16 in Ottawa (Canada). The theme is “Women and Conflict”. Conflict is not a
male domain. Despite the usually masculine-associated metaphors associated with
conflict (such as “war”), conflict has a disproportionate impact on women and
female-identified individuals. Misogynoir, MMIWG2S+, violence, transphobia,
crowding refugee camps, ableism, and the loss and renewal of nations all
challenge the power of femininity and womanhood. We hope to see proposals on women's roles
in all forms of conflict, whether in battle, in law courts, or at home, and to
build a greater understanding of a female-centered perspective on conflict. All
disciplines are welcome.
Potential attendees should submit a c. 500-word abstract
(exclusive of bibliography) by Oct. 12, 2022 to CaTe.consortium@gmail.com.

Science Fiction and the Archive
December 6, 2022, 9:00AM-5:00PM EST, online
The potential of the SF Archive as an inclusive and
celebratory concept is increasing, and we hope this symposium will be a space
to facilitate its expansion through our conversations and collegial debate. Of
course, an archive (little a) can refer to practical considerations of
Library-based Special Collections like those in the City Tech Science Fiction
Collection and others, including the collected materials, cataloging, and
providing access. However, we are also thinking of the Archive (big A) in terms
of canonicity, cultural preservation, reading lists, and bookstore shelfspace.
These latter considerations raise questions about what does and doesn’t get
included within what we might call the SF Archive as well as who does and
doesn’t get a say in those selections. Therefore, the SF Archive is a broadly
based concept that encompasses Libraries and Special Collections and the larger
cultural space of fandom, social media, and the marketplace, all of which
involve the exchange of cultural capital, influence by different forms of
gatekeepers, and conversations on many levels by different readers about what
SF should be valued, recognized, and saved.
send a 250-word abstract with title, brief
100-150-word professional bio, and contact information to Jason Ellis (jellis@citytech.cuny.edu) by October

Resistant
Resiliences: Mad, Neurodivergent, Disabled, Queer, Trans Performances
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. In addition to presenting/performing our works, this
creative session invites networking across universities and dialogue with
audience participants, addressing the question: how does our collective
performance (re)imagine the conference as a site of care, resilience, and
resistance?
Abstracts of 250-300 words should be submitted directly on
the NeMLA website by September 30, 2022: https://cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/19854 (direct

Censorship &
Visual Culture: Ruling Images, Shaping Societies
https://sites.google.com/view/c-vc-workshop/home
12-13 Dec 22, De Montfort University Leicester (UK)
Censorship & Visual Culture seeks to explore the impact
that censorship, with its multiple forms and apparatuses, has exerted on the
development and manifestation of visual culture worldwide. Since the age of the
first societies in human history, pictures and images have played and are still
playing an essential role in the creation, organisation and perpetuation of
social and political orders. Together with other non-textual products, they
shape the sphere of visual culture, through which ideas are often introduced
and conveyed. To this end, we invite paper proposals for presentations of 15
minutes from scholars working in research areas such as, visual culture, media
and communications studies, cultural history, visual sociology and
anthropology, cultural studies, history of art, photographic history, and any
other related fields of research.
Paper proposals should be of no longer than 300 words,
submitted as Word or PDF documents to visualcensorship@gmail.com, by 30
September 2022.

PUBLICATIONS
Reconfiguring Corporeality in 21st Century
The idea of the knowing self, as conscious of things within
and without is the domain of perception, expression, and meaning-making, where
body as a site of our ideological framework can be problematised for enquiry
into questions intersecting across embodiment, lived experience, Being, social
awareness, and subjecthood. Epistemological questions concerning body also find
their anchor in the existential premise of what it means to be human, along
with its focalization within larger political, economic, social, and
technological assemblage. This CFP invites research on evaluating body as a
corporeal entwining of mind/soul/self, through the understanding of conation,
action, emotion, and other dispositions.

Fix It Fics: Challenging the Status Quo through Fan
Fiction
Many fan fiction writers know the hashtag #fixitfic to
describe fan fiction that is recreating or challenging the original author or
creators’ intent and purpose. Sometimes it is for fans to alter storylines that
were dissatisfying to viewers and readers, or to account for the sudden death
of a beloved character. Recently, fix it fics have been essential to writing as
a form of activism in how fan fiction addresses an original creator’s missteps
that result in the harm or degradation of others.This edited collection of
essays is seeking chapters that consider fan fiction as a force for change, a
response to trauma, and a way of encouraging inclusivity. It will also consider
how performed fan fiction, or fan fiction acknowledged by the original creators
impacts fandom canon.
Please submit 1-page proposals and a short biography
to Kaitlin Tonti at ktonti2@gmail.com by Nov. 2, 2022.
Figures of Freedom in Anthropocene Fiction
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/10790150/figures-freedom-anthropocene-fiction
We are soliciting chapters for a forthcoming book, Figures
of Freedom in Anthropocene Fiction, a collection of essays examining how
American literary, filmic, and televisual narratives have represented and
reimagined themes of personal and political agency within the context of
21st-century aspirations and anxieties. The goal of this book will be to unpack
what 21st-century American narratives can teach us about how the idea of
freedom has been expanded, distorted, extinguished, and/or reconstituted in
contemporary fiction.
Please send 300-word chapter proposals to Randy Laist at rlaist@bridgeport.edu by October

Becoming Catawba:
Catawba Indian Women and Nation-Building, 1540-1840
Dr. Brooke M. Bauer’s “Becoming Catawba: Catawba Indian
Women and Nation-Building, 1540–1840” is the first book-length study of the
role Catawba women played in creating and preserving a cohesive tribal identity
over three centuries of colonization and cultural turmoil. Bauer, a citizen of
the Catawba Nation of South Carolina and Assistant Professor of History at the
University of Tennessee, weaves ethnohistorical methodologies, family history,
cultural context, and the Catawba language together to generate an internal
perspective on the Catawbas’ history and heritage in the area now known as the
Carolina Piedmont. She will talk about and provide a reading from the book.

Infrastructures of Thought, Networks of Practice: Indian
Feminist Art in and with Britain in the 1990s
7 December 2022, 6:00 p.m. (UK time)
The mid-1990s witnessed a newfound prominence of Indian
woman artists, including Anita Dube (b. 1958), Pushpamala N. (b. 1956), Rummana
Hussain (1952–1999) and Sheela Gowda (b. 1957). Their emergent practices have
been understood either as products of the art world’s newly global geographies
or as a form of specifically Indian feminist discourse – both narratives that
subsume changes in artistic form in other aspects of artistic production. And yet,
these artists were deeply committed to breaking with the artistic disciplines
of their own training and experience, by moving from painting into
installation, combining performance and photography, and emphasising
materiality. This paper describes how these formal changes were supported by
exchanges between Indian feminist artists and artists and curators in the UK.
“Performance Conservation: Interdisciplinary
Perspectives,” an online colloquium
https://performanceconservationmaterialityknowledge.com/2022/09/06/second-annual-colloquium/
Friday, September 30, 2022
What does it mean to conserve performance, to sustain its
life into the future? This online colloquium, “Performance Conservation:
Interdisciplinary Perspectives,” brings together artists and scholars of
performance studies, anthropology, art history, musicology and conservation to
approach the question of the ongoing life and afterlives of performance. In
this second annual colloquium organized by the research team Performance:
Conservation, Materiality, Knowledge, we will pursue these questions in a
series of lectures by prominent guest speakers, followed by a round table
conversation. Each talk will include time for Q&A.

The U.S. lesbian
feminist community and its impact on feminism and LGBTQ+ liberation
https://advancing.colostate.edu/EVENTS/FRIEDMANFEMINISTPRESS2022
3:00-4:15 pm MST on Thursday, September 22nd
Between 1970 and 1985, the world’s first self-declared
lesbian community flourished in the U.S. – and had an outsize impact not only
on feminism and LGBTQ+ liberation, but also on the country as a whole, in ways
largely unrecognized, then and now. Using rare materials from CSU’s Friedman
Feminist Press Collection, Shane Snowdon will bring that unique community
vividly to life, discussing its achievements and joys, conflicts and mistakes.
What did it contribute to feminism, queer theory, social justice, and personal
empowerment? How accurate are portrayals of it as dogmatic, short-sighted, and
far from diverse? As its members disappear, their revolutionary writing and
activism – very much intertwined – deserve both appreciative and critical
evaluation.

Queer: Book Challenges, Queer Lit, and Public Libraries
October 6, 6:00 pm (Central)
There has been a recent upswing in the number of book
challenges in public and school libraries and even a few in private businesses.
Though there are many reasons given for challenges, LGBTQIA+ content remains
one of the most prevalent. In this free, virtual event, IHP sits down with two
public librarians from Mississippi to discuss recent challenges and what can be
done to keep Queer representation available for all. A Zoom link will be
emailed to registered participants the day of the event.

Feminist Realities
Toolkit
https://awid.org/resources/feminist-realities-our-power-action-exploratory-toolkit
Feminist Realities are our power in action. They are our
feminisms in practice.
Feminist Realities are the living, breathing examples of the
just worlds we are co-creating. They have always been in our midst. Seeking
them out and sharing them will help move us all towards a place where they will
be the norm - the expected.
These Feminist Realities go beyond resisting oppressive
systems. They show us what a world without domination, exploitation and
supremacy can look like. You too can use this Toolkit to spot and amplify the
Feminist Realities in your community.
