Bridging the Gap:
Bringing the Human Sciences together with the Humanities
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11264408/cfp-variabilities-2023
Variabilities is a gathering of disability studies scholars
and other medicine and health scholars from around the world. An inclusive
event, the organizers go to lengths to make sure that all of the participants
and attendees are comfortable with the format and location. In this conference we turn explicitly to the
experience of specific and variAble bodies and their humanity. The conference
itself will give space for papers about individual bodies in their particular
histories, approached from whatever methodology seems to be the most
appropriate, written in common language that all may share. The histories may
be any, from classical antiquity to the contemporary, and the methodology of
approach from contextual to theoretical, or whatever combination of these.
Please send your proposal (300-500 words) by 8th January
2023 to chris.mounsey@winchester.ac.uk and stan.booth@winchester.ac.uk
Boundaries and
Margins in Fantasy (Virtual Conference)
https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/critical/research/researchcentresandnetworks/fantasyatglasgow/gifcon/
Glasgow International Fantasy Conversations, 10th – 12th May
2023
GIFCon 2023 is a three-day virtual conference that seeks to
examine boundaries and margins within fantasy, be they textual, linguistic,
geographical, embodied, or imposed. We welcome proposals for 20-minute papers
relating to this theme from researchers and practitioners working in the field
of fantasy and the fantastic across all media, whether within the academy or
beyond it. We are particularly interested in submissions from postgraduate and
early career researchers, and researchers whose work focuses on fantasy from
the margins. We also invite ideas for creative workshops for those interested
in exploring how the creative processes of fantastic storytelling and worldbuilding
can engage with boundaries and margins from a practice-based perspective.
Please submit a 300-word abstract and a 100-word bionote
via this form by January
6th 2023 at midnight GMT.

Access to Equality: Reproductive Justice in the United
States
March 31-April 1, 2023, Debrecen, Hungary and virtual
Reproductive justice, “the human right not to have a child,
but also the right to have children and raise them with dignity in safe,
healthy, and supportive environments” (Roberts 2017, xix), seems the only means
to reconcile reproductive work and roles performed by women, trans individuals,
and non-binary people with their liberty and autonomy. Without such a
framework, the undoing of reproductive rights questions women’s, non-binary
people’s, and trans individuals’ equality and begs the question as to whether
they are seen as inheritors of the nation’s promise to life, liberty, and
pursuit of happiness. We encourage paper
proposals that examine reproductive justice and democracy as it pertains to
American women, trans individuals, and non-binary people throughout all periods
of American history represented in a wide range of academic fields such as, for
example, social studies, visual culture and media studies, literature,
linguistics, law, and medical humanities.
Please submit proposals of up to 250 words, together with a
bio of approximately 100 words, by November 15, 2022 to eaaswomensnetwork@gmail.com.
Requiem for Netflix?
Reflections on Two Decades of Streaming
Feb. 9 & 10, 2023, School of Cinema, San Francisco State
University
SFSU School of Cinema’s 24th annual graduate conference
seeks to examine the state of cinema in the present moment, where audiences are
more disparate than ever and analog home viewing is glossed over by disposable
media, interactive content, and mass-produced global works. These forms of
cinema merit examination as they emerge, come to crisis or mature in the early
2020s. We intend to look back to see how we arrived at this streaming dominated
moment and look forward to see what may be coming next, as well as looking
inward to question what these shifts have meant for us as audience members,
scholars, and cinephiles.
Please submit abstracts of 200-300 words and a short bio of
100 words to sfsuconference@gmail.com by October
30th, 2022
13th Annual African,
African American, and Diaspora Studies (AAAD) Interdisciplinary Conference:
Roots, Limbs, and Leaves
https://sites.lib.jmu.edu/aaadjmu/
Hosted virtually by James Madison University, Harrisonburg,
VA, February 14-17, 2023
This year’s conference will be held as a hybrid conference,
based at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. We invite
proposals for both virtual and in-person presentations. We welcome proposals
from scholars in all relevant disciplines at any point in their scholarly
careers.
Please send any questions and/or 300-word presentation
proposals (or 1000-word panel proposals) to aaadstudies@jmu.edu by November

From Hogarth to Hypebeast: The Materiality of Popular
Cultures
Material Culture Symposium for Emerging Scholars, University
of Delaware April 21–22, 2023
This symposium will explore the dynamic relationship between
popular and material cultures across time, place, and medium. By emphasizing
the fluidity between material and popular cultures, we encourage critical
thinking about the ways people have shared their ideas and cultural
fascinations. This conference suggests that “popular culture” is a cumulative
archive of human experience. In this way, popular culture is always material,
even when it appears otherwise. In addition to exploring the materiality of
historical and contemporary popular culture, we aim to consider how the
discipline of material culture studies can illuminate our present cultural
environment, from porcelains and scrapbooks to Pyrex and slime. How does
popular culture inform the stories we tell about our material past?
Proposals must be received by December 5th, 2022.

From Table to Text: Borders and Boundaries in Food
History
March 3rd and 4th, 2023,
The virtual workshop, “From Table to Text: Borders and
Boundaries in Food History,” will explore the boundaries, borders, and divides
within the field of food history. In particular we envision three types of
individual proposals: methodology and/or theory within the field of Food
History; pedagogical strategies and techniques when teaching Food History; and
original research within the field or from related disciplines. Proposals
should focus then on disciplinary and/or historical boundaries and borders. We
especially welcome proposals that focus on sources, archives, institutions,
methods and pedagogy.
Proposals are submitted by Google Form and should include a
short CV (1-2 pages), a 300 word abstract, and 3 keywords. Proposals should be
submitted by December 1, 2022 here: https://forms.gle/4ChzCHVqc1WSWWtv8
Please direct questions to Elizabeth Schmidt and Erika
Rappaport, Department of History at the University of California, Santa
Barbara, at foodandempireworkshop@gmail.com
PUBLICATIONS
Black Motion: Looking
Our Way Back to Black
ProudFlesh: New Afrikan Journal of Culture, Politics and
Consciousness is seeking contributions for a special issue entitled “Black
Motion: Looking Our Way Back to Black.” This issue will examine how
contemporary black people of both Africa and the African diaspora reinvent and
reimagine their identities in terms that celebrate or draw attention to the
body. These ways of imagining, representing the body and its various parts have
historically played important roles in the lives of both Africans and peoples
of African descent. Yet scholars have often neglected to study such
representations and their significance in the day-to-day existence, lifestyles,
hobbies, performances, and imaginations of blacks living in both the United
States and abroad. This special issue of ProudFlesh allows contributors to
write about any of these ways.
Contributions must be submitted by January 31, 2023, to each
of the three co-editors (Dr. Mary Weems, maryeweems45@gmail.com; Professor
Babacar M’Baye, bmbaye@kent.edu; and
Professor Mwatabu Okantah, mokantah@kent.edu).
Tips for Teaching
https://networks.h-net.org/node/21301/discussions/11150792/call-submissions-tips-teaching
Want to share a quick tip or need some advice from your
colleagues? Then join Tips for Teaching! H-Teach is seeking contributions in
all areas of humanities and social science teaching at the secondary and
university levels. Submissions from graduate students, new faculty, and
experienced practitioners welcomed. Topics might include inclusive syllabus
language, alternative assessment practices, discussion strategies, classroom
management, or faculty well-being.
Submissions should be approximately 250 – 500 words. They
will be published on H-Teach and distributed to our community. Please submit
ideas to editorial-teach@mail.h-net.org.
The Body: A Call for
Poetry and Short Fiction
https://thetypescript.com/about/submissions-2/the-body-a-call-for-poetry-and-short-fiction/
The Typescript seeks to publish poetry and short fiction that
interrogates “the Body.” At a time when the body is a site of controversy and
conflict, as well as a locus of power and resistance, we ask how is identity –
the self – embodied? How do bodies interact and interconnect? How does the body
stand up to forces of oppression and repression? Submissions may engage with
the body as a site of pleasure or of suffering... Putting your body on the
line… Bodily transformations, growth, and change… Bodily autonomy… The strength
of the body… The limits of the body… Bodies as subjects of knowledge and
objects of ideology… Anything that can be embodied, sensed, or experienced by
the body.
This is an ongoing call, although we encourage submissions
sent by 31 October 2022.
Send your poems and/or short fiction—or cross-genre
explorations—to theresa.smalec@TheTypescript.com.
Women’s Imaginary
Cooking and Appetites across Cultures: Studies in Literature, Media and Film
Following a path opened in the last thirty years or so in
the study of the complex relation of food to literature, we invite reflections
on aspects and issues related to food, beverages and appetites in women’s
literature, media and film. Essays at the intersection of women’s studies (WS)
and food studies (FS) by individual, pairs or groups of authors will be
gathered in a volume whose aim is to explore women’s complex relationship with
food, cooking, eating and women’s appetites of all kinds.

Afrosouthernfuturism
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11055787/edited-collection-afrosouthernfuturism
Afrosouthernfuturism
actively contends with what Saidiya Hartman has described as “the routinized
violence of slavery and its aftermath through invocations of the shocking and
terrible,” while also shaping worlds within conceptual frameworks of
ontological freedom, articulated by Frank Wilderson III as “freedom from the
world, freedom from Humanity, freedom from everyone (including one’s Black
self).” By imagining Blackness beyond and within the boundaries of the human
body, the US SSouth, and the planet, Afrosouthernfuturist texts are vital
explorations of the (un)certainty of Black survival and the promise and
potential of Black futures.
For inclusion on
this collection, please submit abstracts of 250-300 words and a brief bio to afrosouthernfuturism@gmail.com by February 3, 2023.
Archaeologies of
Displacement: Heritage, Memory, Materiality
https://chs-doha.org/en/News/Pages/Archaeologies-of-Displacement.aspx
This edited book
aims to understand how and why the voices of displaced people are so often
forgotten in the narratives of globalisation. We will focus on how the trauma
of forced migration creates interconnections between material objects,
memories, oral histories and people and explore the potential for creating
sustainable archaeologies of displacement. Finally, we will examine how the
authentic voices and testimonies of refugees can be used to revive the
forgotten and unexplored narratives of global displacement.
Please send
abstracts of 300-400 words to the below emails by 28 February 2023.

Figures of Freedom in
Anthropocene Fiction
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11132766/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. Our goal is to promote a robust and
polyvocal discussion about how artists and audiences envision practices of
freedom in both normative and non-normative modes.
Please send 300-word chapter proposals to Randy Laist
at rlaist@bridgeport.edu by
November 1, 2022.

UnderCurrents: journal of critical environmental studies has
extended the call for scholarly and create submissions for its next volume,
volume 22 “Below.” In this volume, we seek to explore what is going on beneath
the surface in an effort to confront, expand, and/or interrogate existing
understandings of the subterranean and subaquatic. We ask: How does the
condition of being subsurface affect understandings of these physical environments
and/or perspectives? We particularly encourage submissions that consider
moments, places, and processes in which the subterranean and subaquatic
interact.

https://www.dukeupress.edu/Assets/Downloads/GLQ_Queering_the_Domestic_CFP_30-4.docx
This special issue of GLQ asks what it means to queer the
domestic—to challenge and reinvent home spaces and practices—by examining the
diverse functionings of home for LGBTQ+ people in both the past and the
present. This special issue takes these shifts as an opportunity to rethink and
reevaluate domesticity, kinship, and care as sites of queer and trans potentiality.
We are reminded that home is not inherently a space of violent normativity, but
also a space of racialized and gendered work and a capacious realm of
contingent relations, scripts, structures, and aspirations. Home is not always
a space of negation, death, and no future, but rather a place of survival,
persistance, and even joy. It is not necessarily the mess we escape from; it
can also be the mess we live with and through. "Queering the
Domestic" seeks to investigate these messy relations: the many ways the
spaces and practices of home both structure and challenge norms of intimate and
collective belonging as they play out in everyday life.
Prospective contributors should submit 500-word abstracts by
November 15, 2022.
Body and Sexuality:
Beyond Cultural Binaries
https://ellids.com/call-for-papers/body-and-sexuality-beyond-cultural-binaries/
While different cultures in history have organised
expressions of sexuality into particular categories, the heteronormative
paradigms of sexuality oversimplify the lived experiences of body and overlook
the pitfalls of essentialism, biologism and naturalism. Adding to these
complications is the contemporary medical discourse’s enthusiastic undertakings
to configure sexual identity by using these very paradigms. So, the questions
germane to this area are: How does the focus on material body and its sexuality
makes it a site of socio-political inscription? How does the
“pharmaco-pornographic regimes,” to use Paul Preciado’s phrase, reformulate the
bodily identity in twenty-first century? How does politics of difference
negotiate and overcome the so-called discursivation of gendered bodies?
Submission deadline: 15 November, 2022

Mellon Post-Doctoral
Fellowship in Humanities as Social Practice, 2023-24
The Humanities as Social Practice draw on interdisciplinary
arenas of inquiry that have direct impact on contemporary issues. When the
humanities are conceived of as a social practice, they have the capacity to

communities, local and global, they both seek to serve and must be accountable
to, especially in a public research university. As form of “public humanities,”
this practice is collaborative and cross-disciplinary, drawing on a range of
methodologies and seeks to recognize academic knowledge-making beyond the walls
of the university. The search is open to scholars in all humanities
disciplines, including the humanities-inflected social sciences, whose research
interests lie in the area of community-based social justice and human rights.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, community-based research in
racial, im/migrant, and/or gender justice; public health; environmental
justice; Indigenous sovereignty; and disability studies.
