CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS
Care Feminisms, Crip Futures
https://wgssouth.org/conference
Thursday, March 28 – Saturday, March 30, 2024
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Dobbs decision, and recent legislation banning gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth in a significant majority of states in the southeastern region, analyses of public health disparities and the socio-economics of caregiving require our urgent attention as feminist theorists, educators, and activists. To attend to these matters, the role of feminist disability studies, crip theory, and care feminisms in the field of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is arguably more important than ever. With a broad interest in the work of cripping WGS, we invite proposals for individual papers, panels, and roundtables with a focus on care feminisms and crip futures. While this topic is a major focus of the conference, proposals are welcome on all aspects of work in WGS.
Early Bird Deadline: November 19th, 2023

Performing Care and Carelessness
An interdisciplinary hybrid conference hosted by The Performance of the Real Research Theme at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand, 14th – 16th February 2024
Care is a topic of enormous complexity that is relevant to all of us. In a turbulent era, scholars from many different fields are returning again and again to consider care, or a lack of care, in political spheres, in relation to the environment, in a globalised world, in everyday life, amidst health crises, and in our mediatised and digital lives. A lack of care - or a carelessness- can also become routinely embedded in many social institutions. As such, amidst shifting and challenging contemporary contexts, we consider how a call to care (for marginalised groups, for the natural world,for the people around us, and for distant others) can generate tensions and dilemmas. We focus on how both care and carelessness are performed, negotiated, and communicated, in both public and private settings, in response.

Neoliberalism and Capitalism as Keywords of Contemporary History
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-asAg5XTD3yJS41oYiQ-STCiE_tkHh4-/view
Yale University, 23-25 February, 2024
Historians have made ‘neoliberalism’ and ‘capitalism’ two of the most powerful keywords as they describe and account for the recent past’s distinctive features and pathologies. Ambiguities exist however around what the concepts usefully name; how these phenomena relate to each other; and which agencies, processes, periodizations and geographies the concepts call on us to emphasize. This conference engages these keywords of contemporary history, which have borne upon historians in one of their most important modes of speaking to their present: using historical methods to illuminate and account for the recent past’s most urgent or distinguishing features.
Please apply by submitting a 350 word abstract and a one-page CV to neocapconference@elilists.yale.edu by 24 October 2023.
Contested Monuments
Submissions are invited for an online workshop series and eventual inclusion in an edited volume on ‘Contested Monuments’. Monuments, defined primarily but not exclusively as statues and memorials, have faced profound transformations in recent years, challenging the concept of ‘monumentality’ in new ways. These profound transformations include contestation, toppling and removal of monuments associated with colonialism, racism and oppression; new or counter-monuments that represent diversity, inclusion and social justice; reinterpretation of contested monuments; and temporary and artistic responses to (contested) monuments. These new approaches to monuments question and redefine the very notion of heritage, memory and tangibility, destabilising the supposed fixity of meaning materialised in memorial form.
Expression of interest (title and 300-word abstract) should be emailed to the convenors by 30 October 2023

All submissions and correspondence should be emailed to: tamuconference2024@gmail.com
Borders, Identities and the Economics of Migration and Development Conference
Marquette University, Milwaukee, April 18-19, 2024
Debates over immigration have received renewed interest following attempts to overhaul immigration in the West and anti-immigration rhetoric aimed particularly at immigrants from the global south. This conference examines critical contemporary issues on migration including how the flows of people have become entangled with economic development, politics of identity, nationalism, statehood, and ideologies in the age of globalization. We invite proposals for papers and panels on the intersecting histories of migration, borders, and the economics of human mobility from a historical and contemporary perspective.
Submit abstracts of no more than 200 words and a short CV that includes your email address and institutional affiliation to: africana.studies@marquette.edu no later than February 20, 2024.

epistemologies of brown/ness(es): racialization, sexuality, and empires
https://www.acla.org/node/42957
Mar 15-17, 2024 in Montreal
Feeling brown, being down. Feeling down, being brown. As we understand it, brown indexes operations of law, affect, sexuality, relation, empire(s), capital. Brown can function as an accusation or a convenience. Brown can name shades and fantasy. This proposed seminar considers when brown as an analytic becomes useful and may be used to do the work of relation, inquiry, theory—and when brown does not work. We ask how brown/ness(es) are plural and heterogeneous; we query how they are mapped and weighted by different cartographic modes, for example, the Levant, Latin America, Africa, and archipelagos across Indian, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans.

Unruly Women in Contemporary Pop Culture
https://www.acla.org/unruly-women-contemporary-pop-culture
Recently, we have seen a growing number of unconventional female characters in literature, film, and on TV – characters that do not conform to patriarchal and capitalist constructions of femininity, that defy our expectations and refuse to follow the (written and/or unwritten) rules. In her monograph The Unruly Woman: Gender and the Genres of Laughter (1995), Kathleen Rowe focused on the representation of “unruly women” in comedy. According to Rowe, the romantic comedy genre has “provided one of the few outlets for representations of female unruliness in Hollywood film” (Rowe 19). In which genres can we find the most compelling examples of 21st-century 'female unruliness,' and how is this unruliness presented? The figure of the ‘unruly woman’ not only opens up discourses around gender roles, but can also emphasize satirical aspects of fictional works that may not be immediately evident, such as subtle critiques of capitalism and consumer culture, and their links to the oppression of women and nature.

Radical Print Cultures in the US South
https://southernradicalprintcultures.wordpress.com/
University of Leeds, 15th February 2024
Researchers such as Sharon Monteith and Jaime Harker have uncovered the print culture histories of the SNCC and of lesbian activism in the South respectively. We hope to build on the work of these scholars by bringing together papers with varied approaches to radical print culture in the South, across different movements and countermovements, time periods, and regions. This conference aims to bring together print culture scholars from literature, history, communications, politics and other disciplines to give a platform to understudied texts and to widen our understanding of radicalism in the South from a cross-temporal, interdisciplinary perspective. Another focus of the conference will be on accessing understudied print culture from organisations that have often been suppressed.
Deadline for submissions: 31st October 2023
Please direct any questions to the conference organisers Siân Round and Amanda Stafford at southernradicalprintcultures@gmail.com
Care Timings in Capitalism
https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20006506/care-timings-capitalism
May 27th-30th, 2024, The American University of Paris, France (hybrid)
Discussions of care often imply discussions of time. Temporalities of care are often imagined (and studied) in opposition to clock time and its centrality to the infrastructures of capitalism. In contrast to the quantitative ordering of time, popular discourse includes such phrases as “quality time” and “me-time” to denote explicit ways of thinking about time devoted to caring for others and for the self; the sick day, burn out, the attention economy, and care crisis may all be understood as conceptual framings of the relation between time and care. We seek papers for a panel of 3-4 papers that examine the relation between time, care, and capitalism from feminist, queer, critical race, and/or disability studies perspectives.
Deadline: Friday, October 20th

PUBLICATIONS
Reconceptualizing Academic Freedom: Perspectives from Inside and Out
Current debates about academic freedom bring not only the need to find a definition that could be translated to different national and policy contexts but also one that would be inclusive to different groups and functional in times of crises. The following challenges were identified as a call to rethink the classic idea of academic freedom. As much as a university does not exist in the vacuum of its social and political context, the commitment to protecting the freedom to produce and disseminate knowledge should reflect the challenges living in the national and historical contexts. The turbulent time of war and the topics brought by the critical scholars in the context of this escalation bring a discussion about the possibility of academic collaboration and the challenges that commitment to academic freedom faces in times of crisis.

Belonging Denied: Citizenship Revocation and Statelessness as Human Rights Deprivation
Leiden University, The Netherlands
The key goal of this edited book is to examine the causes and consequences of statelessness and citizenship revocation from global/transnational, human-rights-oriented, and transdisciplinary perspectives. This volume examines the legal, political, and socioeconomic dimensions of citizenship revocation and its impact on marginalized individuals and communities. Considering the multifaceted nature of denaturalization programs and statelessness, this edited volume seeks contributions from scholars from the social sciences (politics, sociology, anthropology, etc.), humanities (philosophy, history, cultural studies, area studies, geography, etc.), law, policy practitioners, and advocates of human rights.
Abstract deadline: December 15, 2023, to s.s.regilme@hum.leidenuniv.nl
Fungal Turn
A growing body of contemporary fiction and film, along with more political and practical networks, such as zines, conferences, and writing collectives, engage with fungal discourses to think about the porous and permeable limits of bodies, to reconsider our relationship with space, time, death and decay, and to imagine novel ways of perceiving, living, and resisting power. This CFP proposes to think of fungal spaces and bodies as sites of real connections between art and sciences, as sites of plurality and resilience in literature, film, art, and media. Beyond taking the fungi as a metaphor, how can we also attend to the working of these fungal worlds, in their refusal to disappear and ability to thrive under dire circumstances–regenerating life from death and decay––in their potential to undo our taken for granted anthropocentric ontologies and epistemologies?
Please send 600- 900 words chapter proposals along with a working title, bibliography, and your short bio to fungalturn@gmail.com by Friday, October 13, 2023.

Record, Document, Archive: Constructing the South Out of Region
As the double meaning of our title suggests, this collection intends “record, document, archive” as a triad of both verbs and nouns. Record, Document, Archive seeks projects investigating processes that record, document, or archive “event in place and time” as well as projects examining artifacts themselves, those records, documents, and archives that evince various souths within the region. Through examining the technologies and traces of recording, documenting, and archiving the U.S. South across disciplines and historical context, this collection asks what it means for the region to be both defined and imagined as a place of documentation.
Proposals (500 words): November 1, 2023 to Record.Document.Archive@gmail.com
Special Issue on Black Comedians
As arbiters of resistance, some Black comedians have learned effective strategies that strike a balance between comedy and tragedy, while blending joy and pain into palpable humor. With the world as their stage, some Black comedians have used their talents to enthrall listeners and viewers, while gifting them with a lens to re-imagine and re-insert themselves into the social, political, economic, and cultural zeitgeist. It is those Black comedians that will be the focus of this special issue. This special issue is open to Black comedians of any era.
Abstracts of no more than 250 words are due no later than Friday, December 1, 2023, by 5:00 pm EST to oldyson@uncg.edu and Jeffries.70@osu.edu.
Reproductive Justice across Disciplines and Demographics
Through this special issue, we aim to comprehensively address the various intricate dimensions of reproductive justice across disciplines and demographics, illuminating critical issues that shape reproductive autonomy and access to justice. From the ethical implications of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and surrogacy to the dimensions of motherhood, abortion, menstruation, and menopause, this special issue endeavors to tease out the nuances that critically shape reproductive autonomy and human rights in our contemporary world.

The Gendered Self: Media and its Global Representations
https://vernonpress.com/proposal/286/9d9aaa6e6861ee8781d7d942a6f1e915
Media and the entertainment industry have long been a source of inspiration and social impact. With portrayals of real-life events, the depiction of ‘the self’ in the media is now a potent vehicle for social and political change. While all identities experience vulnerability, there is little doubt that queer identities are sites of oppression and disparagement in popular media. In the media landscape, queer identities are simultaneously normalized and othered through visuals, text, and dialogues. Media, then, keeps the liminal space enriched with mixed understandings and portrayals. The objective of this volume is to go beyond a simple compilation of national cases. Rather, we would like to invite scholars to critically analyze and interact with media portrayals of queer identities to reflect on the entanglement of how these identities are represented across media platforms, and how they are imagined, experienced, negotiated, and practiced by the self, to accelerate the debate in a direction of positive sociocultural and political change.
submit chapter proposals by November 20, 2023

Media and the Police
Special Section of Jump Cut: A Review of Contemporary Media
In the proposed journal section, we attempt to understand if, and how, media and popular culture legitimize the role of the police as a state apparatus in the governance of subjects. The police specifically targets those groups that the state deems ‘deviant’, including racial, religious, sexual, and caste minorities, constructing the presence of a permanent ‘other’ in the process. Mass media representations support the security state by creating paranoia and fear, which makes it seem that stringent and pervasive policing, with its role of ‘fighting crime’, is necessary and natural. We are especially interested in articles from/about the Global South and the rights of sexually marginalized populations such as transpersons.
Please email your submissions to both Namrata Rele Sathe at namrata.sathe@krea.edu.in and Soumik Pal at soumik.pal@northsouth.edu by 15 November 2023.
Contemporary Transnational Feminist Visual Activism and Gender-based Violence
The adoption of Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women (1993) was a significant moment recognising women’s right to a life free from violence as an international issue. And yet, recently we have been observing an intensification of gender-based violence against women and girls, igniting arts activist interventions to raise consciousness, protest and advocate. A potent example is a Mexican artist Elina Chauvet’s collaborative project Los Zapatos Rojos (realised since 2009), which involves laying out hundreds of pairs of red shoes in urban spaces across the world to mark the absence of women who lost their lives to gender-based violence.
Please send proposals to: bsliwinska@fcsh.unl.pt by October 11th 2023.
Gender, Media, and Developmentalism
https://docs.google.com/document/d/12FMQtzXQqnffJLkvI0ippmwvGIYagioKKeZMmTbT5HM/edit
With this special issue of Feminist Media Histories we invite contributions that explore the historical role of gender within media production explicitly engaged in developmentalist projects. As an ideological and political framework, developmentalism became especially prominent between the 1950s and the 1990s to conceptualize, discuss, and tackle global inequality. Based on the certainty that economic growth inevitably leads to social progress and modernization, it has been a dominant paradigm driving state and inter-governmental support for various institutional media projects, especially in the context of Asia, Africa, and Latin America on both sides of the Iron Curtain. To this end, this special issue seeks to foster new knowledge and develop shared theoretical and methodological frameworks for exploring this topic. We welcome scholarship on different types of media (film, television, radio, digital media, etc), situated within a wide historical period, and from a variety of geographic and geopolitical positions. Contributions may focus on specific case studies as well as on broader methodological and theoretical questions.
Interested contributors should contact guest editors Dalila Missero and Masha Salazkina directly, sending a 500-word proposal and a short bio no later than February 1, 2024 to d.missero@lancaster.ac.uk and salazkina.masha@gmail.com

South Designs: Planetary Futures
https://criticalurbanisms.philhist.unibas.ch/projects/south-designs
South Designs starts from the premise that to carry through the promise of design against catastrophe, the South remains indispensable—not as a geographical location, but as an ethos of engagement. The project asks what resilience means when it is mobilized from the South, and how design can work for living landscapes and autonomous communities to foster global justice. Considering the colonial relations to which both “design” and the “global South” are tied, this prompt invites a fundamental questioning of design and points to a world beyond inherited spatial and epistemic divides.
Tuesday 24 October, 4-6pm CET Planetary Occupations x Nana Yaa Biamah Ofosu.
Tuesday 14 November, 4-6pm CET. Re-Imagi(nations) x Françoise Vergès.

October 16, 7:00 PM EST
Questions to be considered include:
- How can educators incorporate AI tools into the humanities curriculum while emphasizing the importance of human values and critical thinking?
- How will the curriculum have to change in order to ensure students are still learning the skills that the humanities have always taught and that they still need?
- How can teachers and students benefit from the structured use of AI in the classroom?
