CONFERENCES & WORKSHOPS
Girls on the Move
http://journals.berghahnbooks.com/_uploads/ghs/GHS_cfp_Girls%20on%20the%20Move.pdf
For this special issue of Girlhood Studies: An
Interdisciplinary Journal, we invite articles that use a range of
methodological approaches or that arise from various disciplinary perspectives
to explore the experiences and representations of forcibly displaced girls on
the move. Without denying or ignoring the obvious risks, dangers, and
disadvantages facing forcibly displaced girls, we are especially interested in
articles that consider girls’ active participation in their journeys of
displacement, migration, and (re)settlement. With a recognition that
context—geographical, temporal, cultural, legal, and sociopolitical—influences
these particular experiences of girls, we are also interested in articles that
draw attention to and explore the intersectional complexity shaping the journeys
of these girls.
Abstracts are due by 13 February 2023 and should be sent to: girlsonthemove22@gmail.com
Research, Art, and Writing Graduate Student Conference 2023
February 11, 2023, Richardson, TX & Online
The Arts, Humanities, &Technology Association of Graduate Students (AGS) of UTD is now inviting proposals for the fourteenth annual RAW conference. The conference is organized by and for graduate student scholars to engage in scholarly and creative conversations with peers across the various fields of the humanities. This year, in light of the situation in Iran, and how it is affecting the global presence of women in different societies, and the art they created as they negotiate their relationship with freedom, we invite scholarly papers and creative projects that address the part women play in bringing art into everyday life.
Submission Deadline: January 16th, 2023

Society for the Study
of American Women Writers
The Society for the Study of American Women Writers welcomes
proposals for the American Literature Association May 2023 conference.
Activist Women Writers and Their Works
Women writers have been activists in many movements. We
welcome papers that discuss their activism both within and outside their
writing, and that find connections between their writing and their activism.
“Writing” may be construed broadly to consider their nonliterary political
activist writing such as pamphlets, leaflets, blogs, and tweets.
Women Writers and Reproductive Justice:
Reproductive justice issues as abortion, control of one’s
fertility, and both access to sterilization and battles against forced
sterilization have made their way into fiction, essays, plays, poems, memoir, and other written forms. Individual
writers and women’s collectives have gathered and published personal narratives
to bring attention to these issues, and to positions inflected by race,
ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability, and class and other identities in
relationship to them.
Proposal deadline: January 10, 2023 to ssaww.vpdevelopment@gmail.com

Archives as Data-- An
Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities for Archivists and
Historian
http://history-lab.org/archives-as-data
May 22 – June 2, 2023, Columbia University
This NEH-funded program will offer practical training for
historians and archivists in processing and analyzing textual data.
Participants in the Archiving Digital Records workshop, designed for
archivists, will learn how to use new technology to improve the description and
arrangement of digital or digitized records, especially PDFs, and provide users
with new ways to access them. Participants in the Text-as-Data workshop,
designed for historians, will learn how to organize and analyze large document
collections and use new methods to formulate original arguments. All participants
will come together in seminar-style discussions on the novel challenges posed
by doing archival research in the age of “big data,” including issues related
to community representation, protecting private information in online archives,
and the professional and scholarly pitfalls in navigating this new terrain.
Review of applications will begin December 15.

"Re-awakenings--Transitions
to the Future
https://www.utep.edu/liberalarts/hera/conference/index.html
March 8 - 11, 2023 in El Paso, Texas
In keeping with HERA’s mission of promoting the study of the
humanities across a wide range of disciplines and interdisciplinary studies, we
invite presentations for the 2023 conference. Submissions are encouraged from
educators at all levels (including undergraduate and graduate students) as well
as all those with an interest in the arts and humanities. The conference does offer a hybrid format for
international participants or for those unable to physically attend. Hybrid
format is limited reservations.
All proposals are due by January 25, 2023.
For questions contact: Marcia Green (mgreen@sfsu.edu), Crystal Guillory (guillorycry@uhd.edu), John De Frank (jdefrank@utep.edu), Ronald Weber (rweber@utep.edu)
Networks and
Knowledge in Southeast Asia
https://sites.google.com/view/cseasconference2023/home
April 14-15, 2023 at UC Berkeley
Southeast Asia’s past, present, and future is shaped by its
situation as a nexus of networks that has sent a complex array of people,
ideas, and products along with their various ways of knowing and being across
the globe. These movements have resulted in new developments of knowledge and
interconnection. This conference will focus on such notions of knowledge and
networks in a Southeast Asian context, broadly understood as (but not limited
to) cultural interactions, diaspora, migration, digital networks and social
media, social and political movements, trade, collaboration and exchange, and
knowledge production.
deadline: January 9, 2023

Corporeal
Conversations / Conversations Corporelles
https://sites.google.com/brown.edu/equinoxesgradconf/home
March 10-11, 2023, Brown University
Works of art call out to each other, engaging in
conversations that span borders and epochs. From the circulation of written
works within salon culture to the power of images to capture a movement, how
might we understand our interactions with media and each other as conversations
centered around and facilitated by bodies? Bodies continue to be a site of
political struggle, from the policing of race, gender, and reproduction to the
increasing awareness of our own environmental entanglements. What might we learn
from listening to and/or reading bodies, in their various material
representations? As an interdisciplinary conference, Equinoxes encourages
submission from a variety of fields, including but not limited to literature,
philosophy, history, ethnography, anthropology, media studies, disability
studies, sociology, art history, religious studies, Women's and Gender Studies,
and political science, provided that the presentation relate to French or
Francophone studies.
Comics on the Margins
https://comicsstudies.org/2023-cfp/
Denton, TX, July 27-29, 2023
The 6th Annual Comics Studies Society Conference seeks to
make space for comics on the margins, and encourages participants to consider
the formal, aesthetic, political, and social ways of seeing and reading
cartooning’s relation to the marginal spaces, concepts, and peoples. In direct
response to the troubling legislation in Texas and elsewhere in the US, we hope
to use this conference as a site of resistance to the politics of the state. To
that end, we encourage roundtables, panels, workshops, and individual papers
that work to better understand how comics creators and cartoons reshape,
resist, and reclaim the margins.
Proposals are due via Google Forms by February 13, 2023.

Care, Collaboration,
Craft
https://journals.library.ryerson.ca/index.php/InteractiveFilmMedia/IFM2023
June 7-9, 2023
The annual Interactive Film and Media Conference invites
abstracts that explore, interrogate, interweave, unravel, and reinvent the
dynamic relationships between care, collaboration, and craft across new media
platforms, practices, and theories. This nexus of care, collaboration, and
craft has emerged as a fertile ground for thinking through the crucial yet
unresolved work of combatting polarization with multiple voices, plural practices,
and new ways of working together to invent shared languages and ideas. The
conference invites participants to think about these three axes– care,
collaboration, craft–whose definitions and relationships are not fixed, but
fluid and adaptive.

Modes of Belonging:
Kinships, Exile, and Translation
The 10th annual Dean Hopper Conference of Spring 2023 (March
24) will examine these and related questions, seeking interdisciplinary
engagements with the notion of “belonging” in cultural, historical, political,
and theoretical contexts. We invite papers engaging with the intellectual and
cultural history of belonging, and related topics like home, kinships,
translation, exile, migration, both from historians and other scholars and from
activists working in the field. Submissions from graduate students, postdocs,
and early-career faculty are encouraged. This year’s conference will be hybrid
in its modality; as such, we also welcome submissions from individuals to
present via Zoom as well as in-person.
Please send
abstracts to Hopper@drew.edu by 11 January 2023
Peace & Protest,
Past & Present
https://www.peacehistorysociety.org/phs2023/papers.html
October 26-28, 2023
Gwynedd Mercy University, Gwynedd Valley, Pennsylvania
The conference theme recognizes peace as an active process
often expressed through dissent and protest rather than a passive condition
signifying an absence of physical violence. It refers equally to nonviolent
protest across a range of justice movements and to direct actions in support of
peace and justice. Panels and papers that address this theme through various
formats (traditional, roundtables, posters, lightning rounds, teaching
workshops, etc.) may examine topics set in previous eras or bring the past into
the present by exploring ways that current movements have drawn upon earlier
examples of protest for inspiration, symbolism, or methods.
proposal deadline: March 1, 2023

Hiphop Literacies
Conference
https://sites.google.com/view/hhlc2022/home
March 30th & 31st, 2023
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. OSU HHLC encourages interdisciplinary
research, teaching and outreach within and outside of OSU around Hiphop
culture. 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.

Overwhelming Nature:
Confronting Catastrophe and the Sublime in the Arts and Humanities
https://overwhelmingnature.wordpress.com/
Harvard University | 25–26 March 2023
Though both of the terms ‘catastrophe’ and ‘sublimity’ have
been shaped by competing canonical—largely European—intellectual histories,
they do not describe a category of experience unique to European modernity
itself and remain subject to continuous reassessment and revision. On the one
hand, since clear-cut distinctions between subjects and objects, and between
humans and nature, have undergone ‘catastrophes’ of their own, critics such as
Bruno Latour and Donna Haraway question the usefulness of ‘sublimity’ and
‘catastrophe’ in the age of the Anthropocene, in which human beings are
subjected to natural disasters of their own making. On the other hand,
engagement with knowledge, both old and new, about Earth’s systems has
demystified catastrophic events, and thereby complicated their employment by
survivors and witnesses as tragedies. Given the synchronicity of these
revisions and parallel intellectual ‘catastrophes’—for example, discursive
upheavals surrounding matters of nationality, race, and gender—artists,
critics, and scientists are faced—in an age plagued by natural disasters of
increasing number and severity—with the task of re-conceiving the catastrophic
sublime.
Please submit topic proposals (ca. 300 words) by 15 January

Projecting the Past
and Recalling the Future: Orienting the Self in Time
April 7-8, 2023, The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque
15th annual Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies
Graduate Student Conference
When the world came to a grinding halt in the face of the
COVID-19 pandemic, the disruption of the societal inertia brought into relief
problematic social structures of our present, which opened a space of
possibility for reflection on the complex historical currents that birthed this
present. We may wonder where these historical currents will lead us in the
future, and what sorts of futures may be possible. In the disorientation of
upheaval, how does our conceptualization of and relation to the now-uncertain
future shift? We welcome topics which engage with these questions in any form
of media (Literature, Cinema, Fine-Arts, etc.). The conference is open (but not
limited) to fields such as Languages, Classics, History, Literature,
Anthropology, Philosophy, Art History, and Sociology.
To submit your proposal, please send a 500 word
abstract along with a brief biographical statement to csconference.unm@gmail.com by
January 29, 2023.
Race and Environmental Justice in the Era of COVID-19:
Rethinking ‘Social Distancing
July 13-15, 2023, Online via Zoom
In light of the current pandemic, this conference examines
the question of ‘social distancing’ at the intersection of environmental and
critical race, Indigenous and ethnic studies. This conference addresses the
ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates structural issues at the heart
of environmental justice, revealing racism as one of the central challenges for
the contemporary period. This conference recognizes the ongoing dispossession,
marginalization, and subjugation of BIPoC communities worldwide, alongside long
histories of environmental stewardship, custodianship, care, protest,
resistance, and organization, emerging and sustained by these communities. From
this recognition comes the understanding of the myriad of consequences that
emerge from structural white supremacy in the context of racial justice and
environmental justice.
Please email your abstract of 300 words and short
biographical statement of no more than 150 words by January 15, 2023, to air.anglistik@univie.ac.at.
Archival Silent Noise Conference
https://invisiblearchitectures.com/2022/11/10/call-for-proposals/
The architectures of oppression and liberation are not
easily gleaned. Institutions and systems cannot hold themselves accountable for
the oppression they foster nor are they able to liberate themselves from
oppression when the stories they tell about themselves are incomplete. To
borrow from the framework of reconciliation, speaking truths fosters
accountability, redress and helps prevent future injustices. The reconciliation
process is not easy, and if not done thoughtfully, can lead to further harm. This
year as part of TU’s College of Fine Arts and Communication’s CoLab (Invisible
Architectures), we will host Archival Silence, a conference that considers the
invisible, ignored and silenced areas of our artistic disciplines.
Proposal Due January 17th

Trusting and Distrusting the Digital World in Imaginative
Literature
https://trustlit.org/conference-2023/
University College Dublin, Ireland, 7-9 June 2023
This conference aims to connect two prominent scholarly
conversations of the contemporary moment: concerning, on the one hand, the ways
in which the digital age has shaped (and been shaped by) human trust relations;
and on the other, how digital technologies have intersected with the traditions
and practices of imaginative literature. We seek to bring together scholars
interested in either or both of these fields of inquiry for an
interdisciplinary dialogue on trust, the digital, and the literary. This
conference seeks to advance the interdisciplinary scholarship on trust and the
digital world by incorporating the insights of imaginative literature and
literary studies. How do literary representations of the digital world shape
our trust and distrust of that world?

America and Deep
Time: Alternate Geographies, Temporalities, and Histories
25-27 October 2023
We invite papers about American themes, written from
perspectives that present the U.S.A. as a “planetary entity” (Spivak), part of
a wide and complex network of events and processes, often beyond America’s
control, imaginary power, or understanding: global biology and epidemiology,
Anthropocene, global warming, transnational politics, cosmopolitan wealth and
poverty, global migration flows, new historical epochs and timescales, global crime
networks, fluctuating global energy and food markets. Such themes and events
call for a new timescale, or a new spatial perspective.
Abstracts should be sent to paas2023@gmail.com by June
15, 2023.

PUBLICATIONS
Affective Labor
https://www.luc.edu/mmla/journal/currentcallsforsubmissions/
The Journal of the Midwest Modern Language Association
invites submissions for its spring 2023 special issue focused on the theme
“Affective Labor.” The special issue editors seek essays from across historical
periods that address the role of affective labor in literature, film, and
media. We seek analyses of the role of kin work, caring labor, nurturing and
maternal activities; of pink collar, gendered labor; and other ways in which
the affective is put to work, broadly conceived. The deadline for submissions
is January 31, 2023.
Queries may be directed to the issue co-editors, Joshua Gooch
(goochj@dyc.edu) and Douglas Dowland (d-dowland@onu.edu).
Decolonizing the
Study of Memory
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/11917325/special-issue-decolonizing-study-memory
This special issue responds to the urgent calls to both
decolonize and reconceptualize the study of memory and Memory Studies in three
ways: We invite current memory studies scholars to investigate the role of
decolonization and provincialization to existing approaches, theories and
methods. We explicitly invite scholars from disciplines less represented in
Memory Studies to contribute to the decolonization of socio-cultural memory
studies. We also invite reviews of existing work, with a particular interest in
those not in the English language, on the subject of decolonizing and
provincializing memory studies or indigenous ways of knowing that have hitherto
been marginalized.
We invite abstracts of 300-500 words to be sent by January
10 as an email attachment to: decolonizingmemory@gmail.com.
Girlhood and
Sexuality at Intersections of Performance, Relations, and Representations
https://acyig.americananthro.org/neosvol14iss2fall22/spring2023cfp/
While girlhood varies
across time and place, living amid multiple axes of power means that the world
is often a complicated place for girls and young women as they navigate their
gender identities, roles, and performances. Sexuality further brings girls and
young women into contact with acts of violence, processes of consent, and
receiving (or being denied) care. The Spring 2023 issue seeks to explore the
worlds of girls and young women through interdisciplinary and
cross-disciplinary conversations between anthropology and gender and sexuality
studies more widely.
The deadline for submissions is February 16, 2023
The NEOS Editorial Team may be reached at acyig.editor@gmail.com
Disability’s Hidden
Twin: Discourses of Care and Dependency in Literature
We are calling for abstracts for papers examining Anglophone
imaginative literature (precluding memoirs) that engage in some fashion with
care ethics and disability theory. We seek a range of representation from
different eras and regions. We are particularly interested in representations
of care in Indigenous, global, African American, Latinx, and Asian culture and
in eras that predate modern medical professionalism, and we look forward to
analysis that draws out the gendered and sexual elements of care.
Abstracts of approximately 350 words should be submitted as
a Word document to Chris Gabbard (cgabbard@unf.edu) by 31 January
2023.
Digital Food
Colonialism
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/12023122/digital-food-colonialism
We kindly invite you to submit an abstract for the upcoming
edited volume Digital Food Colonialism. The edited volume aims to provide thoughtful,
in-depth, analytical insights into how various expressions of digital food and
its related processes across social media platforms have created additional
spaces and conditions for further colonial discourse. Digital food colonialism
encompasses how the relationalities between different cultures’ foodways
influence their positions of authority on the definition, creation, articulation, and sharing of specialized food
knowledge within digital food spaces.

Transformative Reproductive Justice Futures, Journal
of Lesbian Studies
https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issues/journal-lesbian-studies-reproductive-justice/
Today, reproductive justice theory and activism continues to
challenge men’s control over women’s bodies, eugenicist projects designed to
control the reproductive choices of diverse populations, and restricted access
to care and reproductive technologies for lesbians, nonbinary, and trans
people. In this special issue, we seek to examine both the current challenges
to reproductive justice across the globe and decolonial, anti-racist and
lesbian visions of transformative reproductive justice futures. In this special
issue, we seek to examine both the current challenges to reproductive justice
across the globe and decolonial, anti-racist and lesbian visions of
transformative reproductive justice futures.

Gender, body, and colonialism from a global perspective:
ruptures and continuities in a long duration
This collection of essays takes a global approach to
exploring the complexities of the body, gender, and work through the lens of
colonialism. By using colonialism as a lens, scholars are able to demonstrate
that the experiences of women at work in relation to their bodies forsakes
temporality. We are seeking scholarship that will take us around the world to
investigate the ways in which power, capital, and race impact women’s work
experiences in the context of colonialism. Considering different types of
colonial and postcolonial societies, the articles will also address the
possible connections on the women’s work experience in a long duration.

Envisioning Queer Black and Indigenous
Self-Representations within the Digital Literary Sphere
Through online self-representations facilitated by digital
infrastructure, the queer Black and Indigenous heterogenous consciousness is
made accessible. Queer Black and Indigenous creators and writers, given to
existing at the most periphery of inter and intra discourse and imposed upon by
the limits of Western gendered vocabulary in Queer discourse, are at the
forefront of rethinking queerness. Returning to the past, pulling references
that point to liberation and juxtaposing it in the context of the future, they
are producing alternate realities and showing a relationship between times,
while staying rooted in African and Indigenous world consciousness,
inadvertently pushing for queer imaginings beyond Eurocentric epistemological
limits. This special issue of AmLit invites papers that analyze queer literary
works within the digital sphere, specifically pertaining to queer Indigenous
and Black peoples residing in the Americas.
Full essays should be between 5,000 and 10,000 words
(including notes and bibliography) and be submitted by January 16th, 2023.
email the guest editors at digitalselfrepresentations@gmail.com
Reproductive Health since Roe v. Wade
Fifty years ago this January, Roe v. Wade became law. Just
months before this anniversary, the Supreme Court struck down its previous
ruling, casting a pall of uncertainty over individuals’ reproductive rights.
The issue is still far from settled. In this uncertain moment, Process, a blog
for american history invites submissions reflecting on the history of Roe
v. Wade and the reproductive rights it aimed to protect. We are open to a wide
variety of themes touching on abortion access and reproductive health
generally. We welcome submissions thinking about the legal, social, and
cultural history of the long battle over birth control access. Articles might
also consider how race, gender, sexuality, citizenship, and ability have shaped
the politics and lived experience of reproductive health in the United States.
Submissions must articulate clear thesis statements and use
evidence to back their claims, where appropriate. They must be written for a
public readership and should not exceed 1500 words. We hope to receive
submissions by January 29, 2023, but we are open to promising submissions past
that point. Article pitches and drafts may be sent to blog@oah.org.
Queer Ruralisms
AmLit – American Literatures invites contributions to a
journal special issue titled “Queer Ruralisms,” guest-edited by Ralph Poole and
Benjamin Robbins. This aim of this special issue is to make a new contribution
to this scholarship through an original focus on literary manifestations of
queer ruralism in terms of narrative form and within the contexts of
transmedial and transnational exchange. First of all, it will consider the
particular narrative structures and textual features that have been used to
depict queer rural life across the literatures of the Americas. It will
additionally explore how queer rural texts travel across borders creating
connections between global non-urban communities. Finally, it will investigate
the relation of literary depictions of queer ruralism to those found in other
media, including film, visual art, and digital platforms.
We invite interested authors to submit abstracts of 300-400
words and a brief biographical statement of no more than 100 words to the
editors via email for initial feedback: Ralph.Poole@plus.ac.at and Benjamin.Robbins@uibk.ac.at.
