Hiphop and
Queer/Trans Black Feminisms
OSU Hiphop Literacies Conference (OSU HHLC) is both an
academic and public facing community convening that provides a space relevant
to lives of Hiphop generation youth and their communities, in relation to
cultural development, education, and overall well-being. Black women, queer
and/trans people across genders and sexualities following in the footsteps of
earlier Black feminists of the Combahee River Collective brought to the fore
that Black people as a group are queered and non-normative, namely, through
racialization of their gender, sexuality, and class by subtle and explicit
institutionalized violent social practices. Presentations and performances
should highlight the Hiphop arts and Black queer and trans feminist influence
in education, cinema, television, fashion, literature, digital technology,
activism, Black popular culture, politics, criminal justice, issues of bodily
autonomy, health care, reproductive justice and more.
Send abstracts for papers and other formats to Hiphopliteracies@gmail.com by

2023 Cultural Studies
Association (CSA) Annual Conference: Conclusions
https://www.culturalstudiesassociation.org/conference-960395.html
From the fall of nations to global health crises, those in
power have long claimed the right to define or declare conclusions: the end of
history, of race, of truth, of colonialism, of slavery, of stagnation, of
democracy, of an epoch, of the world. Critical scholars and marginalized
communities from around the globe, in turn, have prudently treated the purpose
of declared conclusions with warranted suspicion – are they meant to warn, to
assuage, to control, to prevent other “ends” or endings? As with past
conferences, we welcome proposals from all disciplines and topics relevant to
cultural studies. Our goal this year is to again hold all sessions in a fully
hybrid format, as we did in our very successful 2021 Conference.
January 7, 2023: Final Deadline for Submissions

Towards a materialist
theory of the monument
Monuments are objects of study in terms of their
conservation and restoration; they are planned and installed by the state,
companies, and institutions; they are destroyed by social movements and in war
contexts; they are the object of community mobilisations and self-managed
construction under popular subscription. Our aim is to confront this vision of
the monument by adopting a materialist viewpoint. We propose to analyse the
purpose of the monument, its historicity, its determining factors, and the
social relations it incorporates. What does it mean to erect, conserve, pay
homage to, dismantle, deconstruct, or demolish monuments. We propose a reading
of the monument as a significant gesture within the framework of social
struggles, thereby breaking with the subjectivist reading of the memory. We are
committed to examining the historical consciousness expressed in the way of
producing and relating to the monument.
Proposals will be accepted until 31 January 2023.
Proposals should be sent to: josemaria.duranmedrano@lba.hfm-berlin.de
Rhetoric and Religion
as Resources for Resistance: An Interdisciplinary Conference
https://blogs.memphis.edu/aapat/
The University of Memphis, October 19-21, 2023
We invite scholars to submit individual or coauthored paper
and panel proposals focusing on any project related to rhetoric and religion,
but we are especially interested in work that helps us imagine the resources
that can be cultivated from the study of religious rhetorics, whether those
resources are pedagogical, philosophical, homiletic, activist-focused, or
something else. Importantly, we also want to make space for work that is
anti-religious, non-religious, or takes a critical perspective on religious
rhetoric. We wish to cultivate an interdisciplinary space that welcomes
believers, skeptics, atheists, activists, scholars, and religious leaders. We
especially hope scholars doing work on non-Western religious traditions will
consider submitting a proposal.
Please submit proposals via this submission
link by March 15, 2023.
Inquires can be sent to Dr. Will Duffy and Dr. Andre E.
Johnson at rrtconference@gmail.com
Struggle and/as
Transformation
April 20-21, 2023, Marquette University
Struggle is central to the work of knowledge production and
learning done at the university. In order to promote socially-engaged research
and critical and creative work, there must be recognition of and reflection on
the erasure and silencing of forms of knowing and being often excluded from our
classrooms and our writing. This conference grew out of this very imperative– a
deep need for decolonial work in response to the historic erasure and cultural
genocide of colonized peoples in the United States and throughout the world. We
invite you to engage with the theme of struggle and transformation broadly,
working through collective or personal struggles in ways that are critical or
creative, analytical or expressive.
Please send a 250-word abstract or description of your
project by February 1st, 2023 to: aegsconference@marquette.edu.
"Where are our
women artists?: Linda Nochlin’s Question in the Age of Feminist Visual
Culture" Graduate Student Conference
April 14-15, 2023, Rice University, Houston, TX
Published in the January 1971 special issue of ARTnews,
Linda Nochlin’s essay “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?” opened the
way for a feminist methodology into the discipline of art history. Following up
on Nochlin’s question 51 years later, this conference seeks to generate
conversations on feminist methodologies and interrogate feminist art history
anew to consider the resonance of Nochlin’s question and career today. We encourage
submissions which expand upon and revisit Linda Nochlin’s essay now in relation
to queer and BIPOC artists, across feminist and art historical methodologies,
embracing both historical and contemporary practices. As such, we welcome
submissions working with visual and material culture across all time periods,
regions, cultures, and mediums, as well as those approaching from a women,
gender, and sexuality theory, method, and/or praxis.

Indigenous experiences when faced with pandemic diseases and better appreciate
the diversity of pandemic consequences faced by Indigenous vs. non-Indigenous
peoples. As part of this project, a conference will be held 15-16 May 2023, at
The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in Oslo. Attendance is limited to
100 participants due to space capacity at the Academy. There will also be a

The United States in
the Anthropocene
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11634385/cfp-united-states-anthropocene
University of Bologna, Forlì Campus, 8-9 June 2023
USAbroad invites submissions for a two-day workshop and
its 2024 issue. Authors of the selected abstracts will participate
in the workshop and have their articles automatically considered for the 2024
issue of the journal. To favor the event’s attendance, all the selected
participants will receive a travel and accommodation grant. More details on the
logistics of the event, submission deadlines and grants can be found at https://usabroad.unibo.it/.
The 2024 issue of USAbroad will be dedicated to the study of
the complex relationship between the United States and the global environment.
The aim will be to look at American history and politics through an
environmental lens and reframe Washington's upward trajectory as a world power
in the context of the Anthropocene. This means examining how US actions have
induced environmental change and, equally important, how the landscape’s
natural features and raw materials, in general, have influenced, if not
determined, Americans’ choices at the local, national, and international levels.
Proposals must be sent by December 11, 2022, at usabroad@unibo.it.
Digital Humanities
Winter School Tran(s)missions
https://multimedialitysummerschool.github.io/transmissions/Index.html
10-15 January 2023, Università degli Studi di Roma Tre
The "digital revolution" forces us both to rethink
the correspondences between art and science and to reconsider the role of
technologies in literature. The Winter School Tran(s)missions: how
multimediality shapes interdisciplinary research in the field of Italian and
Visual Culture Studies explores the meaning of interdisciplinarity and
multimediality using a synergistic approach that combines different
methodologies coming from the field of Italian Studies, Digital Humanities,
studies on digital cultures and research methods focused on the materiality of
the object. Through the application in a laboratory form of the devices used in
Digital Humanities, the Winter School stimulates innovative interdisciplinary
thinking, and provides participants with the tools suitable for the
identification of relationships that affect the multimediality from the
textual, visual and spatial point of view, and how it is presented in different
media, forms and literary sources in the early modern and contemporary world.
The application deadline is December 10, 2022

Between Conflict and Connection
The theme for this year's conference is "Between
Conflict and Connection." This conference seeks scholarly discussion on
the significance of historical interactions, both peaceful and violent, and the
ways in which these developments continue to impact our present time. In
selecting this theme, the conference focuses on histories of struggle,
compromise, and identity. Exploring the ways in which historical interactions
of people and events generated both division and interrelation continues to
shed valuable light on the nature of communal, national, and transnational
relations. We welcome papers that examine how conflict has torn some nations
and peoples apart, while bringing others together. Scholars whose research highlights
nonviolent conflict, such as political strife, trade wars, embargoes, and more
are encouraged to apply as well.
The Animal Turn
February 25, 2023, Wilson College’s M.A. in Humanities
Program
Some
questions that this conference seeks to explore include: how do we think about,
question, and reposition the relationship of humans to animals in our
scholarship, and what are the consequences of such a revision? Is there an
"Animal Turn" of scholarship, and if so, why is it happening now? How
is it that our relationship to non-human animals defines who we are as humans,
and as a result how we define the Humanities? How do our ideas of animals
influence how we treat other humans in terms of race or gender? What are
meaningful examples of animal agency, and what new approaches and challenges do
these create for cultural work? If speech is what, ostensibly, divides humans
from other animals, why is there such a rich tradition of stories featuring
animal narrators, and what does animal narration mean? How can non-human
animals, and their concerns, find voice?

Abstracts are due by Monday January 16, 2023.

PUBLICATIONS
Pedagogy: Using television shows, games, and other media
in the Classroom
Vernon Press invites book chapters for a forthcoming edited
volume on the subject of “Pedagogy: Using television shows, games, and other
media in the Classroom.” As teachers, we often look for creative ways to keep
students engaged in our classrooms, while not compromising on teaching the
skills that students need to learn. Television shows, games, podcasts, etc. can
all be good ways to engage students and help them to connect with the material.
Adding non-traditional media to a classroom can also help to engage students at
different levels of understanding and with different abilities in ways that
traditional readings and lectures might not work.
If you are interested in contributing to the edited volume,
please submit your proposal (500-700 words), and biography (100 words) by
December 1, 2022 to the book editor, Laura Dumin (ldumin@uco.edu).
Untranslatability,
Linguistic Multitudes, Embodied Speech
https://interalia.queerstudies.pl/cfps/
InterAlia: A Journal of Queer Studies
There is no language beyond embodiment. However, the
question of how language and body belong together is open, open-ended, and
controversial. This includes the dimension of technology, which might or might
not be seen as an inherent part of embodiment: No_body without technology,
though also no technology that doesn’t form a body. Organic, inorganic,
digital, virtual, mental, psychic, affective, imaginary embodiments of
language. How do these influence understandings of media, mediality, and
mediatedness? We invite activists, artists, thinkers, and any combination thereof,
to contribute works that explore ideas of language(s) as these are employed by
sexual and gender minorities.
Please submit your abstracts by Nov 30, 2022

Trans &
Two-Spirit Histories
https://journals.uvic.ca/index.php/ghr/announcement/view/421
In response to the growing demand for this research, and to
provide opportunities for emerging scholars, the University of Victoria’s
graduate-student journal Graduate History Review is proud to announce a special
volume, “Trans & Two-Spirit Histories.” Our framing of “trans” and
“Two-Spirit” is as broad and generous as possible, open to various forms of
gendered and sexual embodiment throughout time, space, and language, but with
the latter term a specifically Indigenous one.
For more information contact gradhistoryreview@gmail.com.
Starting now, we are accepting submissions on a rolling
basis through April 10th, 2023
On Mothering and
Black Magic Special Issue
We are seeking to put together a special issue including
papers and reflections on literatures of the African diaspora that respond to
Gumbs’ demand that we redefine ‘mothering’ as ‘a technology of transformation’
and that engage with mothering beyond womanhood, biology and biological
processes. We invite contributors to consider Black mothering in and across the
African diaspora – birthing, parenting, midwifery, and other acts – as a type
of magic, and magic as a technology of survival. We ask that contributors put
forth visions of the generative ways that mothering has sustained, does sustain
and could/will sustain us in the face of enslavement, (neo)colonialism and
white supremacy; how survival, for those who were not supposed to survive, is a
magical, subversive act and process.
To submit a abstract, please send an email with the subject
‘On Mothering and Black Magic abstract’ to leighan.renaud@bristol.ac.uk and jar0118@uw.edu by 1 December 2022.

Pandemonium
https://womensstudiesquarterly.com/issues/cfp/
This special issue of Women’s Studies Quarterly invites
reflection on the status, health, precarity, and promise of the discipline of
women’s, gender, sexuality, and feminist studies in light of our current state
of pandemonium. We seek submissions from a diverse group of feminist-studies
scholars, researchers, teachers, administrators, practitioners, intellectuals,
artists, advocates, and leaders, drawing on their research as well as personal
experiences, that reveal and analyze the effects of a kaleidoscopic set of
conflicts, crises, and pressures affecting their lives, scholarship, work,
teaching, careers, institutions, and political organizing, particularly those
that are a sign of or hold consequences for the health and survival of the
discipline of feminist studies as a whole.
Priority Deadline: March 1, 2023

Perspectives on
Punishment and Decarceration: (The Need for) Recipes
Penal punishment is a serious political and social
challenge. Scotland currently leads the statistics for incarceration per 100,000
population in Western Europe at 134.9, with England and Wales close behind at
131.5. In the United States, almost two million people are currently
incarcerated or detained, and another six million are affected by the criminal
justice system through parole and courts, the incarceration of family members
and friends or through the depopulation of neighbourhoods. Therefore, we invite
contributions on punishment and decarceration in the Anglophone world from a
range of perspectives. We especially invite voices from those affected and/or
involved in the penal system as this issue aims to reach beyond the academic
borders, thus enriching scholarly work.
Please send a 200-word abstract and a short bio note
to cornelia.waechter@tu-dresden.de and andrea.zittlau@uni-rostock.de by 30

Inner Landscapes.Potential
Spaces, Split Open, Spilling Out.

For our new issue of Passage, we want journeys that stretch
from the specificity of tangible reality to one’s own, inner imaginary place;
passing by personal experience, one’s own and others’ - plus art, history,
literature, philosophy and more. We want to read about these inner landscapes -
urban and rural and beyond - composed through both accident and study;
gathering all sorts of stories and beings in intimate and particular
topographies. We want complexity and relations and routes. We are looking for

including the ways in which the dynamics of western, southwestern, and/or borderlands
contexts shaped LGTBQ+ activism, affected the role of race and class in LGBTQ+
politics, influenced social and cultural developments within the queer
community, created differing impacts or types of resistance to institutional
and systemic barriers to lesbian, gay and trans* rights, and formed responses
to the AIDS crisis.
Deadline for submission is March 20, 2023.
