Community/Solitude:
The Poetics and Praxis of Life in Transition
Carleton University, May 5-7, 2023
After three years of conferences cancelled or facilitated by
technology, the Carleton English Graduate Students Society invites proposals
that contemplate, critique, and expand our understanding of community and
solitude as states of transformative potential. We view this conference both as
a chance to celebrate community/solitude and to interrogate its function,
taking seriously Hernan Diaz’s assertion that literature “is an essentially
solitary activity [that] is also driven by the desire to commune with others.”
Questions about community and solitude have long preoccupied literary study:
Under the eyes of Big Brother, are we ever really alone? How are solitude and
freedom intertwined?
Please submit proposals of 250-350 words along with a brief
(~150 words) bio to
cuEGSSconference@gmail.com by Tuesday, February 28th, 2023.
Scale
https://keystonedh.network/2023/cfp
June 16th and 17th, 2023, Johns Hopkins University’s Center
for Digital Humanities
Digital techniques have enabled scholars and practitioners
both in and out of the academy to explore problems and topics well beyond the
reach of traditional tools and methods: collaborations bring together far-flung
participants; massive data sets can be assembled and analyzed with ease;
accessible tools allow community-centered organizing while new approaches to
teaching enable innovative classroom structures. At the same time, experience
and scholarship have created a new awareness of the perils of digital scale.
Without care, data is easily stripped of its context, alienated from the
communities it describes, and incorporated into oppressive structures of power.
The proposal deadline is February 15th, 2023

Beyond (Un)natural
Crises, Disasters, and Catastrophes: Ecologies of Care and "Other"
Worlds-in-making
https://ihgradcon.wixsite.com/ucmerced
March 24-25, 2023 (Hybrid conference)
Ongoing violence, everyday impacts of racial capitalism,
neoliberalism, a global pandemic, and climate change have displaced & dispossessed
millions from their lands. Although terms such as crisis, disaster, and
catastrophe are sometimes used interchangeably, Puerto Rican decolonial thinker
Nelson Maldonado-Torres proposes a more nuanced understanding. This CFP centers
on Third-World, transnational, queer, and womxn of color feminisms that
encourages a multiplicity of cares to land, water, memory, identity, community,
and culture. How do marginalized communities navigate and resist these
(un)natural situations while imagining Other futurities?
To be considered for
the conference, please submit a 150-300-word abstract and a brief bio by
February 7, 2023 to ihgradconference@ucmerced.edu
When I Dare to be
Powerful
https://whenidaretobepowerfulconference.wordpress.com/call-for-papers/
Wednesday 21st June 2023
When I Dare to be Powerful International Conference is an
in-person conference that will be held in Nottingham, United Kingdom. It will
bring filmmakers, artists, writers and activists together with conceptual
thinkers and cultural theorists in order to answer pressing questions relating
to voice as an agent of change. Centred on voice as a lens through which we
conceive of a social alterity that undermines current ideological dominance, we
would like to invite proposals from academics, practitioners and activists
interested in exploring coming to voice as an act of resistance. Has adequate
progress been made in remedying the lived experience of minoritised people? How
will social parity be achieved? Can dissent facilitate a space from which an
alternative, socio-cultural narrative can thrive?
Deadline for all submissions: Monday 13th February 2023

you have any questions
Imagining the Past:
Fact, Fiction, and the Historian’s Pursuit of Truth
Friday April 7th, 2023
The 2022-23 Northern Illinois University History Graduate
Student Association Conference focuses on the historian’s relationship to the
conceptually intertwined notions of fact and fiction, and their role in how we
construct the past. This theme is designed to muster a broad range of panels
that collectively highlight the shared methodological, archival, and temporal
spaces between various fields of history. Moreover, we hope the conference will
provide a space that engenders lively presentations, discussions, and questions
that allow participants to consider how their research participates in or is
influenced by historians’ pursuit of “truth.” We therefore wish to encourage
further discourse about the role of “fact” and “fiction” in our work, and how
those notions enable or disable accurate portrayals of the past.
Please submit abstracts and information no later than
Friday, February 17th, 2023.

Histories of
Disability and Emotions
Online Conference, 13-15
June 2023
We welcome proposals for 20-minutes presentations that
analyze the emotions experienced by disabled people and/or communal emotions
evoked by disabilities in different societies and cultures worldwide throughout
history. We expect that the concepts of “disability” and “emotions” themselves
may have different meanings than today. Proposals may address, but need not be
limited to, the following broad topics: 1) Emotional lives of disabled people,
including expressions of joy, pride, satisfaction, pain, shame, fear, sadness,
etc.; the interaction of disability with emotional norms; the use of empathy as
a social weapon; 2) Emotional reactions to disability by others (love, trust,
compassion, fear, disgust, derision, etc.); 3) Analyses of the educational
trajectories (formal as well as informal) leading to the constitution of
particular emotions/emotional subjectivities; 4) disability and emotions in art
history.

Struggle and/as
Transformation
https://call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/cfp/2022/10/26/struggle-andas-transformation
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. We welcome
proposals from the humanities and other disciplines that explore power and
resistance in complex and multifaceted ways. This especially includes work that
centers marginalized peoples and their raced, classed, and gendered
experiences, and those voices and experiences that are often underrepresented
in the United States and the Global North. We encourage various forms of
engagement with our theme, including scholarly papers, creative writing,
posters and multimodal projects, and sonic/musical or visual texts. Also feel
free to propose a roundtable discussion or a workshop that you would like to
facilitate and would be beneficial as we come together in community.

Teaching the
21st-Century Conference
https://www.avonoldfarms.com/academia/teaching-the-21st-century
Teachers at all levels have become first responders for
helping students make sense of the crises shaping their lives. Practitioners of
history find themselves called upon both to explain the larger meaning of
events and respond to critics accusing them of presentism, bias, and political
correctness. The discipline of history is simultaneously enjoying a popular
renaissance and facing a crisis of confidence. This conference seeks to clarify
how historical methodology can help students, teachers, and society at large
find meaning in and perspective on the recent past.

Transplanetary
Ecologies Workshop
The Transplanetary Ecologies workshop will interrogate this
emerging paradigm, asking questions such as: how do the various infrastructures
of space science exact their own ecological tolls? What do increasing calls for space
sustainability mean in practice? How do contemporary configurations of
(neo)colonial power, engendered by progress-oriented visions of contemporary
space industries, shape our understanding of extraterrestrial environments?
What forms of (trans)planetary ecologies are needed to account for the
imaginaries, materialities and entanglements wrought by space science? How can
our scholarship encompass these long promised cosmic futures and fast
approaching space-based realities?
To participate, please send an abstract (max 300 words)
to transplanetaryecologies@gmail.com by 28th

Un/Disciplining
Reading
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/12249891/undisciplining-reading
Dublin, 15-16 September 2023
This symposium on ‘Un/Disciplining Reading’ at University
College Dublin invites colleagues working on any century, language, or cultural
space to think about reading as a practice with both disciplinary modes and
ways of encouraging the possibility of radical change. It encourages
colleagues, too, to think about the history of reading as a discipline and the
ways in which we might ‘undiscipline’ it, including new modes and methods of
research and ways of rethinking and unmaking the field. In 2004, Leah Price
characterised the history of reading as a field without consensus, one that
‘still looks less like a field than a battleground’ (‘Reading: The State of the
Discipline’). This conference aims to engage with that view via new and
emerging work in the field.
Proposals of 250 words for twenty-minute papers should be
submitted to both conference organisers by 24 March 2023: sarah.comyn@ucd.ie and porscha.fermanis@ucd.ie.
Transforming a Precarious Present
https://amps-research.com/local-global-rit/
ROCHESTER INSTITUTE of TECHNOLOGY, 05-07 December, 2023
How do we imagine the people that we advocate for, write
about, and plan for? This call poses these questions in the belief that
socially grounded research is critical for redesigning and modeling livable
worlds. It can uncover commonsense knowledge, cultural mindsets and
philosophies of life that can reveal prospects for human-centered design and
governance. It can contribute to improvements in urban environments, inclusive
communities and sustainable neighborhoods by taking into account people’s
everyday (lived) experiences, by exploring power relations and, ultimately, by
learning from the perspectives, values, memories, imagination, and dreams of
those whom we design for.

PUBLICATIONS
Digital Resources on Theory, Methods, and Historiography
Co-organized by the Ruhr University of Bochum, Germany, an
ongoing project to develop a Digital Resource on Historiography, Historical theory,
and Methods invites articles for the year 2023. The project has been designed
to be a comprehensive digital resource for history students and scholars
alike. It provides users with an unrivalled exploration of the
theory, methods, and historiography which underpin history as a discipline. Your
theme of the contribution should be related to historical methods and
historiography but new and innovative topics have more potential to get
acceptance. Less-common themes in Historiography will be highly appreciated and
feel free to contact the coordinator for any clarification.
The deadline for paper proposals is February 28, 2023

Fractured Mirrors:
Between Self and State in Global Women’s Video Art
https://networks.h-net.org/user/login?destination=node/12077365
In her seminal 1976 essay, art historian Rosalind Krauss
defined video’s condition as a psychological state of narcissism, a continual
feedback loop which trapped the artist between camera and monitor. Favoring a
formalist concern for medium specificity, Krauss’s characterization of the
burgeoning technology disregards not only the volatile social conditions which
marked video’s entrance into the market during the 1970s, but also its almost
instantaneous use by women artists for political critique. Fractured Mirrors
will bring together a series of essays which address the numerous ways in which
women artists from the 1970s to the present have subverted and re-channeled the
“mirroring” effect of video and audio technology to address political issues
across geographic boundaries in a global context.
Deadline for chapter proposals of 250-500 words is March 1st

Autotheory and its
Others
https://networks.h-net.org/node/73374/announcements/12178962/autotheory-and-its-others
Autotheory can be understood as a methodology rather than as
a final result or a specific aesthetic. It is first and foremost an opportunity
for a maker (i.e., a writer, a researcher, or an artist) to make sense of
reality through a profound, embodied, and possibly speculative processing of
theory and art in order to better open up past, present, and future worlds. An
acknowledgement of those fields implies an acceptance of others, their
realities, and their sense-making attempts. Thus, autotheory is not the act of
pinning a loose reference to theory on one’s chest like an honorary medal.
Instead, it needs the tangible, sizable presence of the other/s to confront,
expand, and contextualize the auto-, and vice versa. This collection will serve
as a testing ground for those definitions while providing space for work that
expands and even challenges them. We invite practicing autotheorists to plot
its different manifestations and roots. Different realities will require
different encounters. What do the latter entail?
Please send proposals of 500 words and a brief CV to autotheoryothers@gmail.com with
“Autotheory” as the subject line by March 15, 2023.
Transnational Visual
Activism for Women’s Reproductive Rights: My Body, My Choice
Focusing on contemporary visual activist and artivist
practices for social justice and democratic rights, this book analyses and
compares forms of feminist activism transnationally to interrogate bodily
rights while closely examining the lived experiences of women and their right
of free choice. The transnational framing engages with resurgent imperialist
and colonial ambitions across global politics and with the attempts at
disrupting these positionings by prioritising feminist care as instrumental for
democracy and social justice. Key foci of this book are on the ways in which
the visual can articulate, advocate, and enable women’s reproductive rights via
specific methods, strategies, tactics, and methodologies employed locally and
transnationally.
Please send proposals to: bsliwinska@fcsh.unl.pt by Febrary
20th 2023.
The American South in Ten Recipes
The Southern United
States is home to many diverse communities, some historically linked to the
legacies of colonization and slavery and others emerging more recently thanks
to migration from other parts of the country and from abroad. The essays
collected in this volume use food as an entryway to understanding the
individuality and interconnectedness of these communities. Each chapter will
focus on a single recipe as emblematic of a particular culture, region, or
tradition such that the collection of essays comes to characterize the dynamic
histories, cultures, and innovations of the American South.
Deadlines for
chapter proposals: April 1, 2023

Feminist Political Communication in the Global South
Feminist political
communication underscores feminist intersections, forms, and strategies of
power relations in the transmission, interpretation, and usage of political
information (Omotoso & Faniyi, 2020). Although these have been largely
undertheorized and underexplored, the pursuit of the global sustainable
development goal of gender equality has aided more critical considerations of
the discords, crisscrosses, accomplishments and/or setbacks encountered by
women across geopolitical spaces. To this end, this special issue aims to
theorize and showcase critical examinations of feminist political communication
from the Global South, given its evolving peculiarities in terms of
geopolitics, location, identity, ownership, and agency.
Please submit a
500-word abstract as well as a short (two-page) CV by February 1, 2023, to ayleen.cabasmijares@marquette.edu, and sa.omotoso@ui.edu.ng.

Envisioning Queer Black and Indigenous
Self-Representations within the Digital Literary Sphere
Two main questions
arise concerning the digital sphere and queer Black and Indigenous
selfrepresentations: First, how do digital literary/cultural forms produced by
queer Black and Indigenous creatives engender a monumental paradigm shift in
queer self-representation and selffashioning? Second, how do the literatures
and cultures produced in the digital sphere mediate how the queer body is
constructed, viewed, represented, and delineated within a diasporic and
settlercolonial context of the Americas? 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,
i.e., Turtle Island, Mesoamerica, Abya Yala, etc.
Please send
completed articles to the email (digitalselfrepresentations@gmail.com), along with any questions you might have concerning the publication.

Interdisciplinary and Intersectional Approaches (Oxford University Press). Completed
pieces (2000-2500 words including MLA 9th edition Works Cited) should provide
rigorous and cutting edge content for first- and second-year students. We
invite unpublished creative writings (poems, short fiction) and academic works
that incorporate intersectional and/or transnational perspectives from a range
of inter/disciplinary approaches. Submissions must be written in a succinct and
engaging style for a diverse audience of introductory-level college students
who will be learning about women’s/gender/sexuality/feminist/queer studies
through a prism of gender, race, sexualities, dis/abilities, class, age,
nationalities, and religions.
Please send an
abstract, completed piece of no more than 2500 words (including references and
formatted in MLA style, 9th edition), and contact details (name, institutional

of the TPS community.
Series One:
Public-Facing Scholarship and Outreach
Series Two: Teaching
with Community-Based Archives
Series Three:
Accessibility and Access in the Primary Source Classroom
Contributions should
be 1000-1200 words and will be published on a rolling basis beginning in
February 2023.
Calls for Chapters:
Body, Politics, and Nation: Intersections of (Post) Modernity
We invite
submissions that take the ‘body’ as a unit of analysis to understand how
national politics and politics in the name of the nation deploy a rhetoric that
(re)constructs or perhaps resuscitates old dichotomies in the face of new
challenges. Who is allowed to stay, where, under what conditions, and with
whom, seems everywhere a pressing concern which brings together not simply the
site of the subject-body and the nation(-state), but confronts a variegated
politics of intersections: politics of a disciplinary, classed, sexual and
gendered, racial and ethnic character. Taking the timely but
historically-rooted entanglements between the three – body, politics and nation
seriously, we are particularly interested in submissions that highlight how the
state and capitalism in their neoliberal iterations seek to control, mould, and
discipline the body along the axes of gender, caste, race, sexuality, income
etc. in their pursuit of power and profit.
Please submit all
abstracts (400 words) by February 28, 2023, to Idreas Khandy at i.khandy@lancaster.ac.uk
In Living Color: Exploring the Complexities of Colorism
within the U.S. and Around the World in the 21st-Century
Despite the evidence
of colorism permeating all facets of social life, the attempts to characterize
this multifaceted and complex social phenomenon has fallen secondary to social
science research due to the primacy and gravity of race. The academic shading
of color obscures the analysis of how skin color is relevant to ethnoracial
life chances and outcomes. While this special issue may not provide formative
solutions, we are interested in perspectives and analysis that will allow us to
“rise above” (even temporarily) the absurd drama of colorism. Towards that end,
we want to be quite intentional about who this special issue is for and/or
about with our three declarations. Our first declaration is that this special
issue seeks perspectives on colorism and skin tone stratification within and
beyond the mainstream hegemony of the Black/White racial dichotomy. To suspend
the damage (Tuck, 2009), our second declaration is that our project is centered
on dissonance as a corrective mode of truth-telling (Lozenski, 2016) to
illuminate the persistent and multifaceted colonial ideologies that situate
color prejudice and color evasion. The third and final declaration is that this
political project is not aiming to seek if the U.S. and the global world
participate in structural color discrimination but is centered on the how and
why motivations of structural color discrimination.

Borders, Contestation
and Conflict
http://beyondborders.zeit-stiftung.de/
How did state borders develop historically in different
parts of the world? How do they relate to cultural and social boundaries and
depend on historical – national, imperial, colonial etc. – heritage? And what
does territoriality mean today in times of geopolitical competition and
changing domestic environments? How do borders contribute to the definition of
sovereignty and belonging? What are their origins and how have they been
transformed in the past and present times? What are the prospects of
cross-border cooperation and integration?
Questions concerning borders,
their contestation as well as territorial conflicts and disputes are the focus
of the current call for applications for Ph.D. scholarships.
Start Up Scholarships for advanced master’s students and

Teaching Beyond the Curriculum
https://amps-research.com/conference/teaching-2023/
Dates: 15-17 Nov, 2023
The number of ways we have thought about education over time
is vast. From Socrates to John Dewey, and Jean Piaget to Paulo Freire, our
understanding of learning has evolved and morphed. The concepts and theories we
manage range from learning for learning’s sake to vocational training; from a
liberal arts education to on-the-job training; and from student centered
learning to research informed teaching. Today then, our definitions and models
of teaching are vast. In an age of ever faster change and innovation, this
plethora of concepts expands incessantly. As we adapt to the radical
disruptions of the technological turn post COVID, it can be overwhelming. What
this all results in for teachers and learners alike, is an open, and sometimes
contested, question.

Teaching the
21st-Century Conference
https://www.avonoldfarms.com/academia/teaching-the-21st-century
Teachers at all levels have become first responders for
helping students make sense of the crises shaping their lives. Practitioners of
history find themselves called upon both to explain the larger meaning of events
and respond to critics accusing them of presentism, bias, and political
correctness. The discipline of history is simultaneously enjoying a popular
renaissance and facing a crisis of confidence. This conference seeks to clarify
how historical methodology can help students, teachers, and society at large
find meaning in and perspective on the recent past.

Sustaining Hope:
Feminisms, Freedom, and the Future
https://consortium.gws.wisc.edu/conference-2023/
April 13 - April 15, Fully Virtual Event
This year’s theme invites participants to occupy spaces of
hope alongside uncertainty as we shift our collective gaze towards an
unknowable and improvable future.
Drawing on the foundational work of feminist abolitionist Mariame Kaba
and other proponents of radical hope, we investigate how grief and sadness hold
the seeds to our own survival and freedom. We position hope as intersectional concept
grounded in solutions we have yet to fully understand and map out.

A Bunch of Books:
HIV/AIDS Traces in the Collections of the Center for Book Arts
https://centerforbookarts.org/calendar/special/a-bunch-of-books
Pay-what-you-can virtual talk taking place Monday, January
30th, at noon EST
Everyone has heard this story: during the peak of the
HIV/AIDS crisis, the rate of death cases could be tracked by the skyrocketing
number of times one bumped into a bunch of books lying on the streets or for
sale in thrift stores. Not only were countless lives lost, but so were books
and archives —an enormous body of knowledge, desires, and practices that, as a
cultural heritage, it is up to us to recover, preserve, and activate. In this
sense, what can Center for Book Arts’ collections narrate about this pandemic?
As a result of the 2022 Book Art Research Fellowship, this talk aims to suggest
actual and imagined accounts of this subject matter by presenting some of those
artistic productions and biographies that often, instead of being the main
topic of vast volumes, remain as discrete footnotes on the margin of a page.
Presented by 2022 Book Art Research Fellow Yuji Kawasima.

Item Not Found:
Accounting for Loss in Libraries, Archives, and Other Heritage and Memory
Organizations
http://www.1718.ucla.edu/events/item-not-found/
Wednesday, March 8, 2023–Thursday, March 9, 2023, 9:00 am –
1:00 pm
This virtual conference considers the ongoing reassessment
of memory and heritage work and heritage ownership, as it is understood by
libraries, archives and related organizations, through an examination of the
multiple meanings, complexities, and resonances of loss. As an inevitable
reality of heritage preservation–saving everything is an impossibility–a
nuanced understanding of the fundamental role of loss is an important
counterpart to these organizations’ work towards preservation, permanence and
sustainability.
This event is free of charge, but you must register to
attend in advance.

Queer of Color/Trans
of Color Conversations: Evren Savcı & Rana Jaleel
Feb 16, 2023, 4:00 PM EST
At this event, Rana Jaleel (UC Davis) and Evren Savcı (Yale
University) will be asking: What do the transnational travels of queer of color
critique look like and what kind of reconfigurations of racial capitalism are necessitated
and enacted by such travel? “Queer of color” as a category first formulated in
the US is now deployed in scholarship attending to various geographies outside
of it --but what racial orders are captured and missed by this term? How does
it interlock with sectarianism or caste? How would queer of color critique as
an analytic be useful to question the very making of abject and abnormal
bodies, the structures of knowledge and regimes of truth that produce them, and
the political economies that necessitate them?
This event will be live-streamed via CLAGS
Youtube channel.
