The Scholarly In-Between: An Interdisciplinary
Exploration of Culture, Literature, and the Humanities
This one-day Zoom conference aims to explore the challenges,
rewards and necessities of working between fields, and the ways in which such
an approach can reinvigorate the humanities for our times. One of the promises
of interdisciplinary research is the potential to pull pre-existing but
independent fields into productive conversation with one another. How might new
research methodologies, such as data science and quantitative analysis tools,
produce generative findings in the humanities and established disciplines such
as literature and history? The conference will take place on May 2nd, 2024.
The deadline for submissions is February 1st, 2024.

Literary Alliances,
Networks, and Solidarities across Minoritized Communities
Modern Language Association Conference. New Orleans, LA ,
January 9–12, 2025
This panel series seeks to examine varied, sometimes
intersecting forms, forums, and formats for facilitating, expressing, and
practicing instances of literary solidarity, alliance-building, and networking
as well as negotiation of difference and sometimes disagreement. We are
particularly interested in examining the ways in which literary events,
publishing formats, and networks formulate possibilities for mutual support,
joint action, discursive spaces, opposition, resistance, and anti-racist
intervention. We would also like to explore how current practices build on,
respond to, or expand earlier conversations and interventions.

Spaces, Screens,
People and Place
https://amps-research.com/conference/society-spaces-screens/
11-13 Dec, 2024, Phoenix, Arizona (+ virtual)
Today, the spaces and societies in which we live are infused
with media and technology. Simultaneously, there are places and practices
untouched and unaltered by the effects of technology – whether due to a lack of
resources or a reactionary response to change. The questions this raises are
boundless and interlinked. They are relevant across spaces, times and
disciplines: sociology, urban planning, heritage, cultural studies,
anthropology, education, politics and more. In response to this scenario,
SOCIETY. SPACES. SCREENS asks you to critique contemporary practice in your own
discipline. It asks whether it has, or has not, been altered by advances in
technologies and medias.

Strategies of Critique
and Dissent
https://strategiesofcritique.com/
MAY 18-19, 2024
What are the possibilities for practices of what Fred Moten
and Stefano Harney have described as “fugitivity,” extending far beyond the
self and beyond the university? How can knowledge be rethought in opposition to
the neoliberal university, which as Wendy Brown has argued, is a site of the
production of human capital; or according to Dana Olwan and Carol Fadda, a
profoundly militarized apparatus in service of global imperialism? Can thinking
through the relationship between study and dissent present us with new ways
that politics itself can be thought and practiced, beyond what Jacques Rancière
calls the “stultification of intelligence”?

queerness in/from the global south
friday, may 17-19, 2024

or molecular biology, ethnomusicology or african studies, this colloquium seeks
works and participants invested in widening the scope of queer theory beyond
the euroamerican framework to address the pressing concerns of the global
south. we invite scholars to consider the question: what is the role of
queerness in conceptualizing and facilitating revolutionary action, material
change, and collective resistance in the global south?

Digital Capitalism:
Beyond the Neoliberal Paradigm?
https://philevents.org/event/show/118041
Digital capitalism is the defining system of the early 21st
century. As evidenced by the rise in immaterial labour, digital markets, and
widespread surveillance, collection and commodification of personal data, more
and more of our daily interactions fall under digital capitalism’s totalising
claws. Mainstream critiques of digital capitalism have tended to interpret
digital capitalism as an exclusively neoliberal project. This conference
challenges these mainstream critiques and asks what it would mean to think
about digital capitalism beyond the neoliberal paradigm.

Identity and Politics
in the Mid-Atlantic
https://pa-history.org/meeting/2024/call-for-papers/
10-12 October 2024 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania
Individual and group identity has long played an important
role in the region’s political culture. In recognition of the 60th anniversary
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, notable for its prohibition of discrimination
based on specific types of identities, the Program Committee encourages
proposals dealing with the broad topics of identity and politics. We invite
topics that engage with this theme within a wide range of contexts, including
queer and disability history, ethnic, race, class, and gender history,
religious and political identities, etc. The Program Committee particularly
invites sessions that highlight the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as well as
discussion of past and current attempts at historical counter-revisionism in
public spaces, K-12 schools, and higher education.

Human-Animal & Multispecies Relations: Risk Taking in Research Methods
Symposium
June 6, 2024 - June 7, 2024, Online & in-person event
This symposium encourages contributions from researchers
developing and utilising methods that address animal experience in
interpersonal, social and cultural settings, both ‘sides’ of human-animal
relationships, and/or the messiness of multispecies entanglements. We are
particularly keen to encourage contributions from scholars, researchers, and
practitioners from exploring theoretical and methodological innovations, and
the use of creative, arts-based and visual methods in understanding
human-animal and multispecies relations, that bring fresh insights and
perspectives on human-animal and multispecies entanglements.

Fostering Intersectionality
and Solidarity
https://www.peacejusticestudies.org/conference/2024-call-for-papers/
Intersectionality–a term first coined by civil rights
advocate and critical race theory scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw–refers to how
systems of inequality based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation,
gender identity, disability, class, and other forms of discrimination are
related and “intersect” to create unique dynamics and effects. To study intersectionality
is to anticipate that all forms of inequality are mutually reinforcing and must
be analyzed and responded to simultaneously to prevent forms of inequality from
reinforcing each other. By revealing and
recognizing overlapping social identities, we can address and overcome related
systems of oppression and domination.

opportunity to reimagine itself, to place healthy learning at the center of
virtual design. In efforts to offer counsel to business drivers and to empower
our community with all forms of digital literacy, JRITL would like to offer

Queer
Intersectionalities: Understanding South Asia
Critical essays are invited for a book on queer
representations in literature from South Asian countries. The local and allied
global developments in queer literature in the regions and subregions of South
Asia encompass diverse themes which bring to the fore the intricacies of political
activism and demand for rights and policies cutting across myriad
socio-cultural forums and settings. Emphasizing on how local, 'situated' and
specialized knowledge is produced and how they impact operations of power in
multi layered South Asian societies, the proposed book would throw light on
shared and shifting conversations on/of queer communities across diverse
disciplines, fields of knowledge and areas.

Supply Chain Justice & Reconciliation Speaker Series
https://supplystudies.com/delivery-exception/
The logistics revolution has demanded the extraction of
value at any cost. The government it assembled has left the world fragmented
and fragile—an endless ocean of cargo containers stretching from factory to
fulfillment center. How many have been exploited, displaced, and enslaved—with
not just countries, but entire cultures bought, sold, and thrown away? Supply
chains stand amid the greatest period of environmental degradation in the
history of the world, with landscapes torn asunder, skies and seas polluted.
What does justice mean in an age of supply chain capitalism? What
reconciliation can we hope for, and when will it arrive?

author, educator, and organizer Toni Cade Bambara wrote, “Are you sure,
sweetheart, that you want to be well?” For Bambara and other activist-writers,
the ideas of wellness and freedom are taken up as dynamic issues for both are
interrelated—individual health and the health of one’s community. Over forty
years later, the question of wellness remains a significant yet inconspicuous
conversation among Black women. Drawn together by their extensive and impactful
experiences as creatives and educators, this panel offers a public discussion
about the wellness and humanity of Black women engaging in Black arts and
liberation pedagogy.
In Love with... The
Art of Being Posthuman
Feb 14, 2024, 11am CST
What is Love? As a celebration of Valentine's Day in
post-anthropocentric ways, this book presentation of The Art of Being Posthuman:
Who are We in the 21st Century? (Polity), will focus on the notion of posthuman
love approached as love for existence. This posthuman journey of self-inquiry
will engage with a wide range of knowledge and wisdom: from the Paleolithic
times to the futures of radical life extension, from multi-species evolutions
to the rights of Nature, the Anthropocene and the rise of Artificial
Intelligence. Knowing who we are means loving the Self as the others within. We
are one and many: Infinite, Love.
