New Approaches, Old Issues: Revolutions in women's and gender history
October 25-26, 2024, Ontario
What’s new in women’s and gender history? The field of women’s and gender history has evolved significantly since the 1960s and 1970s when the first women’s history and women’s studies courses were developed and taught in Canada and the US. Changing social norms and advocacy for women’s rights have resulted in a profound shift in the way we approach and understand women's and gender history. The incorporation of intersectionality has broadened the scope of study, acknowledging the diverse experiences of women across different races, classes, and sexual orientations. The advent of digital humanities has also opened up new avenues for research and dissemination, making women's and gender history more accessible than ever before. Furthermore, the focus has expanded beyond the struggle for rights to include women's contributions in various fields, from science and technology to arts and politics. This evolution reflects a more inclusive and nuanced understanding of women's and gender history, paving the way for future scholarship and activism.

Critical Thinking in Teaching and Learning
https://amps-research.com/critical-thinking-teaching/
Event Dates: 8-10 January, 2025; Los Angeles (+ virtual)
The history of critical thinking is deep rooted. Often attributed in the Western cannon to Socrates, the Foundation for Critical Thinking also cite Thomas Aquinas, Francis Bacon and Emmanual Kant amongst others. In the context of 20th Century education, they highlight the work of William Graham Sumner and John Dewey, stressing that the development of this line of thought is varied and shared.
Today, it is central to many education systems across the world. Teaching and learning about Critical Thinking then, has become a primary objective for many educators and education programs, either as a skill embedded in a program or as a specific course in and of itself. Simultaneously, it has become a recurrent challenge, sometimes a polemic issue, and always a question open to interpretation for all involved: educational policymakers, universities, schools, teachers and even learners themselves.

Embodying the Revolution: Storytelling and Performance for Social Resilience
https://cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/21022
Whether as a self-reflective tool or autoethnographic tool, which includes using journals, looking at archival records - whether institutional or personal, interviewing one's own self, and using writing to generate a self-cultural understanding—using artistic expression as a form of activism clarified for me how performance can educate people about their attitude and mindset towards current conditions and work towards change. This creative session seeks proposals highlighting the performing arts' pivotal role in promoting social justice and civil, environmental, and human rights to foster civic engagement, dialogue, and community problem-solving through narrative-based storytelling and collective sharing. Presenters may choose to perform/read live or share recordings of their performative narrative-based storytelling works addressing their intended impact and outcomes.
submission deadline: September 30, 2024.

Neo/noir and Thriller Imaginaries in US American Culture
https://www.popmec.com/noir-conference/
Virtual Conference | September 6–7, 2024
The virtual conference will focus on US American imaginaries related to neo/noir and thriller narratives. We wish to collect presentations that deal with noir broadly intended as, after all, “noir itself is a kind of mediascape—a loosely related collection of perversely mysterious motifs or scenarios that circulate through all the information technologies” (Naremore 2008, 255). Rooted in the works of crime writers and sensational stories, drawing inspiration on German Expressionism, and evolving into ramifications such as cyberpunk fiction, noir modes have been subtly pervasive and, to some extent, revived through the rise of true crime narratives.
DEADLINE: JULY 15, 2024

Slavery and Its Afterlives
https://www.aaihs.org/call-for-papers-aaihs2025/
By grappling with the theme of “Slavery and Its Afterlives,” the African American Intellectual History Society encourages conference participants to reflect on how histories of African and African-descended peoples from slavery to the present continue to shape and haunt our present and futures in familiar and new ways. We hope this invitation prompts scholars, activists, artists, and other intellectuals to interrogate notions of change, continuity, and progress, all key elements of historical inquiry. AAIHS welcomes individual and panel proposals for short presentations (12-15 minutes) that consider the conference theme as linked to a variety of perspectives, including, but not limited to, gender, sexuality, public policy, indigeneity, politics, and class. We welcome submissions that explore the conference theme in art and popular culture and in literature.

Ithaka na Wiyathi: Land and Freedom
The African, African American, and Diaspora Studies Center at James Madison University invites proposals for its annual interdisciplinary conference to be held from Wednesday, February 12 to Friday, February 14, 2025. The conference brings together scholars, archivists, and practitioners from a wide variety of overlapping and intersecting fields. This year’s theme is “Ithaka na Wiyathi,” or “Land and Freedom,” after the twin objectives of the Kenya Land and Freedom Army (KLFA), alternately known by the British colonizers as the “Mau Mau rebellion.” This sacred and political concept serves as an ongoing reminder of how land and freedom are inextricably linked in history across the African continent and its diasporas. Our aim in invoking their inherent connection is to foreground questions of land justice, rehabilitation, and use as they continually evolve, transform, and proliferate in our global present.
Please send 300-word presentation proposals, or 1000-word panel proposals, to aaadstudies@jmu.edu by September 1, 2024.
PUBLICATIONS
“Cookbooks in/as American Culture: Identity, Community, Action”
https://amst.winter-verlag.de/
Special Issue of Amerikastudien / American Studies
Looking within and beyond the American nation as well as within and beyond the textual content of the books themselves, expected contributions in this special issue will use approaches that incorporate print culture and bibliographic methods to place particular focus on how American cookbooks do cultural work—be that repressive, resistant, or reparative—through their material form, means of creation, distribution and circulation, modes of reading, historical and economic contexts, and movement across national borders. As a whole, the special issue will highlight the potential of book studies methodologies for American studies, opening up new lines of interdisciplinary enquiry around cookbooks and showcasing their significance within broader societal and political contexts.

Subversive Comics
https://www.radicalhistoryreview.org/subversive-comics-due-july-15-2024/
This RHR issue will offer critical perspectives on the field of subversive comics—on its strengths as well as its weaknesses. It will aim to appreciate, understand, but not romanticize. We should add that over the years comics have been features of RHR, and we see this issue in that tradition as further advancing the study of this important aspect of cultural history. This RHR issue will focus on comics globally, and will encourage contributions on and about comics abroad, although we will to some extent need to emphasize North America. And we will encourage contributions from historians and other commentators and from comic artists— both written and drawn, as well as “hybrids” that merge prose and images.

Palestine, Encampments, and Campus Futures
https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20036870/palestine-encampments-and-campus-futures
Since the advent of the war on Gaza in October 2023, university students in the US and beyond have organized a protest movement of campus-wide sit-ins, occupations, and encampments decrying the Israeli military’s actions in Palestine, as well as institutional complicity. As an online space devoted to North American ethnography, Home/Field invites individuals involved in or witness to the protests to submit short-form works – e.g. essays, fieldnotes, interviews, poems, or multimodal pieces – reflecting emergent themes from the university campus.
We welcome submissions until August 1, 2024.

Breaking Convention: Genre Fiction in a Global Frame
Special Issue of Literature, Critique, and Empire Today (formerly the Journal of Commonwealth Literature)
Genre fiction has long been derided as the lesser cousin of so-called “literary fiction,” associated with the conventional, the formulaic and the “popular.” Many genres have also been taken to task for their propagation of anti-progressive ideologies. Genre fiction as a whole has also been overwhelmingly Western and dominated by the Anglophone centres of publishing in Britain, North America and Australia. Even within these spaces, researchers have pointed to the severe under-representation of writers of colour in this lucrative sector of the literary market.
This special issue will bring together current research on this burgeoning literary phenomenon and its growing impact on our global and multicultural, yet enduringly unequal, literary marketplace. We welcome proposals for 6,000-word articles on any genre, including (but not limited to) sci-fi/speculative, fantasy, crime, romance/chick lit, comedy or horror.
Please send 300-word abstracts and a 100-word bio note to lucinda.newns@bishopg.ac.uk.
Deadline for abstract proposals: 15 July 2024
How Do We Build That? An Interdisciplinary Toolbox for Humanities Practices, Projects, and Programs
We seek exploratory and pragmatic examples of how individuals, groups, and organizations are moving our fields (language, linguistics, and cultural production) forward within the broader humanities landscape. Our goal is to gather and share realistic insights into the step-by-step process of building sustainable change. The objective is to develop an open-access toolbox and a cartography of practices that will offer clear roadmaps for faculty members and administrators to reinvigorate language and area studies programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our hope is to start a vibrant conversation and build a community of practitioners engaged with this sense of urgency.
To be considered for the issue, please submit a 300-word abstract and 100-word author bio to Christine Henseler by 1 August 2024: henselec@union.edu
Cyberpunk and digital rebellion of AI
As a literary genre and a form of cultural aesthetic cyberpunk narratives depict dark visions of the future in which technology, society, and human existence merge. A major element of this setting is Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is often portrayed as a powerful, autonomous entity in cyberpunk universes. In cyberpunk genres, AI typically symbolizes both the zenith of human advancement and a looming existential danger for human beings. The dynamic between humans and AI in these narratives not only raises ethical dilemmas but also highlights the potential conflicts and challenges associated with the development of advanced AI technologies. With this CfP we address all colleagues who devote their research to various literary, cultural, and filmic, linguistic and semiotic manifestations of Cyberpunk and AI in narratives. We particularly encourage proposals relating to reception and impact of this genre and individual works, but proposals on any other aspect of the contrastive cyberpunk studies are also welcome.

Censoring Queer Lives
https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20035338/censoring-queer-lives-cfp
As attacks on LGBTQIA+ people, medical care, and books proliferate in the United States and beyond, this special issue of The Journal of Popular Culture explores the tragically many and varied ways in which queer lives, bodies, and books have been censored by law, policy, society, and the family through the lens of popular culture. We seek to both understand these challenges and memorialize those who have confronted and overcome them. This issue of The Journal of Popular Culture dedicated to the coming freedom will focus on LGBTQIA+ censorship in terms of its impact on writers, artists, directors, musicians, fans, and other creators who have fought, struggled, and otherwise reckoned with their identity through popular culture. The essays will go beyond traditional conceptions of censorship with the goal of drawing attention to those who have been overlooked, ignored, or otherwise left out of the scholarly conversation.
Please send abstracts (500 words) to kmilberg@kennesaw.edu and hsheare1@kenneasw.edu by September 1.
Race and the Urban Environment
https://networks.h-net.org/system/files/attachments/cfp-trotter-review.pdf
Black communities in urban spaces have been exposed to disproportionately high levels of toxic waste, unclean water, and air pollution. Such exposures bear directly on Black health. Statistics indicate that inner-city African Americans suffer disproportionately from pollution-induced asthma and exposure to toxic chemicals. For this anniversary edition of the Trotter Review, we seek essays linking race, health, and the urban environment. This includes essays examining how Black communities have responded to environmental challenges and worked to improve health and healthcare in inner-city spaces. Essays may cover any period from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century.
Essays should be submitted to the editor, Adam Lee Cilli, at acilli@pitt.edu. The deadline for submission is September 30, 2024. All essays will be peer reviewed.
Borders in the English-Speaking World: Mapping and Countermapping
https://journals.openedition.org/angles/7852
This special issue first consists in acknowledging the continued relevance of a reflection on the history of borders, border representations and bordering practices in the English-speaking world, and the second in asserting the importance of mapping and countermapping as powerful modes of aesthetic construction and critical thinking in relation to borders.

liquid blackness: journal of aesthetics and black studies
“Fair Use”
https://liquidblackness.com/news/cfpfairuse
Both a pillar of Humanism and an undercommon praxis of upending its very premises, both future-oriented and retroactive, speculative and retrograde, “fair use” knows how primitive accumulation works and can speak to the duplicity of care that affects all creative industries and institutions: who’s the subject and object of care, who/what benefits from it, and how?
Submissions Due: September 1, 2024
“meta+physics of black artmaking”
https://liquidblackness.com/news/cfpmetaphysics
Overall, this issue is devoted to black artmaking practices that thrive on un-encodable dimensions of aesthetic sensibilities shared and passed on across generations. It is committed to excavating and re-activating, alongside them, the radicalism that they carry forward and to understand the inspirations, motivations, knowledge, and life practices that sustain them.
Submissions due January 15, 2025

Feminist Pedagogy and Generative AI
Wednesday, June 26th at 7pm EST
Educators are currently grappling with the implications of ChatGPT and generative AI for higher education, asking questions such as: what should we even be teaching if generative AI can perform complex textual analysis at the advanced undergraduate level (and higher)? (How) should we be assessing student learning? (How) can generative AI be used creatively to assist student learning? However, few approach this conversation from the perspective of feminist pedagogy. In this creative conversation we will tackle the important questions raised by generative AI from the standpoint of feminist pedagogy. Come ask questions, share ideas and strategies, and wonder creatively together with other feminist educators. We will be joined by special guest presenter Dr. Sarah Small, Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Utah, book review editor for Feminist Economics, and author of “Generative AI and Opportunities for Feminist Classroom Assignments" (2023), published in Feminist Pedagogy.
One hundred years ago, the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 promised American citizenship to Indigenous people across the United States.
Citizenship in Indian Country maps these stories across the United States to illustrate a fuller picture of how Native people staked claims to citizenship rights to resist dispossession and marginalization. Map pinpoints feature petitions written by Native citizens; stories of suffrage rights and disfranchisement; federal treaties and state constitutions; legislative bills and court cases. Stories of Native citizenship can be found throughout the broader histories of the “civilization” policies in the early republic; resistance to dispossession in the Removal Era; transformations of democracy in the Civil War and Reconstruction Era; the advent of the reservation system and theft of tribal lands in the Allotment Era; and the World War I-era Native activism which brought about 1924. In time, many Native people defined citizenship on their own terms, devising their own forms of tribal citizenship and using the concept to further their self-determination.

Critical Conversations: Teaching and Creating Community in Difficult Times
https://journals.h-net.org/phtc/issue/view/vol_2_critical_conversations
This volume, co-edited by Niels Eichhorn and Caroline Waldron, will resonate with teachers at all levels of the educational system and especially those in the humanities and social sciences. In an era when educators are under assault for teaching Critical Race Theory, implementing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives, and subjected to various external forces regarding curriculum development, book bans, and course redesigns, these contributions will help educators navigate these challenges in the face of threats to academic freedom.
Persuasive Cartography
https://persuasivemaps.library.cornell.edu/
This is a collection of “persuasive” cartography: more than 1200 maps whose primary intent or effect is to influence opinions or beliefs - to send a message - rather than to communicate geographic information. The collection reflects a variety of persuasive tools , including allegorical, satirical and pictorial mapping; selective inclusion; unusual use of projections, color, graphics and text; and intentional deception. Maps in the collection address a wide range of messages: religious, political, military, commercial, moral and social.
