Knowledges in Motion: Black Travels, Belonging, and Transformations
The Collegium for African American Research (CAAR) is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the 2025 biennial conference. After a four-year hiatus due to COVID-19 and other challenges, the 2025 conference will be hosted by Humboldt University Berlin. Short- and long-distance travels and migrations within and across regions, continents, and epochs have been at the center of the Black experience in its varied, complex, and transformative forms. The colossal impact of the movements of people of African descent along with ideas, ideologies, and cultures are manifested historically and in the present. Like W.E.B. DuBois and other students and scholars who, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries studied and exchanged ideas on the grounds of Humboldt, CAAR members will convene on the same site to share their research and scholarship, addressing a variety of topics, some of which are enduring themes from previous centuries that continue to shape political, economic, and social developments of our time.
Please submit your proposal for individual paper or a panel by SEPTEMBER 30, 2024, to caarknowledges-2025@hu-berlin.de
For inquiries about the conference, please contact Eva Boesenberg at eva.boesenberg@hu-berlin.de.
Disparate Narrative Worlds: Crisis, Conflict, and the Possibility of Hope
https://www.aup.edu/news-events/event/2025-05-13/narrative-matters-2025
The American University of Paris and Université Paris Cité, 13-16 May 2025
One of the central functions of narrative is the ability to create and shape worlds. Certainly, narrative can provide the resources for producing shared worlds in order to develop commonly held meanings. But a shared world is not the only possible consequence. Narratives can also establish competing versions of the world, which sometimes divide persons and groups so deeply that they can appear to be occupying different realities. The question of the construction of disparate narrative worlds is only part of this conference’s scope. In addition, we are very interested in contributions oriented toward bridging divides in order to arrive at novel alliances and solidarities that can more effectively address the myriad challenges that confront our shared world. How can we connect narrative worlds to create, more or less, common spaces?
Please submit your paper or panel proposals by 15 October 2024
Questions should be addressed to narrativematters2025@gmail.com
Graduate Student Conference: Universality Renewed
March 21nd to 22rd, 2025. Minneapolis, MN.
In this conference, “Universality Renewed,” graduate students from the department of Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature and English at the University of Minnesota welcome papers that seek to derive the political, logical, and psychic grammar that might allow us to theorize the structural unities between putatively unrelated conflicts raging around the world. As scholars in the interpretive humanities, we would like to concentrate on the aesthetic as the dimension of social life where this tension between the universal and the particular are brought to light and find their most sophisticated expression. By “aesthetic,” we think specically of mediums like film, literature, music, performance, and theater, and the forms that activate the capacity for social self-reflection within them. In keeping with these concerns, we are interested in responding to questions like the following:

(Re)reading the Resistance of the Disabled Body within Hispanic and Latinx Communities
https://www.cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/21256
This panel aims to explore the disabled body within the Hispanic and Latinx cultural, artistic and literary production. Some of the questions that this panel explores are, but not limited to: with a disability and “normality” context, how are corporal boundaries defined ? And more importantly, how can do disabled bodies resist the invasion of their corporal boundaries? Considering that the (in)visibility of disability adds more complexity to the experience of the disabled body that tends to be overlooked even within the disabled community, leads us to the question: How can bodies with invisible disabilities withstand this double ostracization?

Narrative Nonfiction in the Creation and Understanding of Identity in Turbulent Times
https://cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/21251
Educators empower students through narrative nonfiction and writing that allows for empathy, candid discussion, and articulation of self. This roundtable will seek to examine how narrative nonfiction literature and writing is used in a variety of contexts and courses to engage students and empower them to embrace facets of their identities and strengthen their ties to our national and international community. This roundtable seeks collegiate voices that will contribute to a robust conversation on narrative nonfiction literature and writing with a focus on how we use narrative nonfiction and writing to help students navigate conceptions of their identity and negotiate their place in the world.

Southern Association for Women Historians 2025 Conference
https://thesawh.org/2025-triennial-call-for-proposals/
The Southern Association for Women Historians (SAWH) invites proposals for its thirteenth triennial conference, to be held June 19-22, 2025, at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida. The conference provides a stimulating and congenial forum for discussing all aspects of southern women’s history and gender history. The program organizers seek to reflect the best in recent scholarship and the diversity of our profession, including college and university professors, graduate students, public historians, K-12 teachers, community organizers, and independent scholars. Proposals on any topic related to Southern Women’s histories will be considered, but those related to this year’s theme are most likely to be accepted.
Proposals are due by September 1, 2024.
Forging Environments: Confluence, Resilience, Intersectionality
https://aseh.org/aseh-2025-conference
The American Society for Environmental History invites proposals for its annual conference, to be held April 9-13, 2025, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a location that holds a unique place in both American history and the narrative of global environmental change. The theme reminds us that all over the world, similar convergences, transformations, and resiliencies have produced altered ecologies and forged new environments. The processes that have contributed to these creations—colonialism, dispossession, war, industry, labor, capitalism, restoration, climate change, and more—speak to the intersectionality of environmental history and the field’s ability to foster a deeper awareness of connections across time, space, and ecologies. In a rapidly warming world, the stories of how global societies have navigated the challenges of environmental change in the past are urgently needed to help us see a path forward.
Deadline for submissions is August 1, 2024
Pantheology in World-Building and Magic Systems
https://iaftfita.wildapricot.org/page-1820596
virtual, October 9-12, 2024
The Virtual International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts (VICFA) will explore the possibilities of deism, the metaphysical, and the historical structures of Pantheology that give the Fantastic its soul. In thinking of the fantastic, the term fantasy often crops up. But the world-building and magic systems that make it up are often built on the backs of diverse, real-world deism, religions and cultures that are cloaked, lost, and dismissed when loaded into the term fantasy.

Fashion in Media Histories
https://online.ucpress.edu/fmh/pages/cfp/
What role has fashion – intended loosely as encompassing dress, costuming, hairstyling, and makeup – played in informing or shaping feminist, queer, trans, Indigenous, and anti-colonial media histories? How can employing fashion as a “lens” allow us to see media histories anew? What insights emerge when we take seriously dress and fashion as media forms in their own right? This special issue invites potential contributors to consider fashion in methodological terms, as a tool that can be used to excavate under-examined histories of media. This special issue is an invitation to reflect on fashion as an index of media histories. We solicit papers from across a range of disciplines, and we particularly welcome intersectional, politically inflected work on and/or from the Global South.
Send a roughly 300-word proposal along with a brief bio no later than September 9, 2024 to r.filippello@uva.nl and ilya.parkins@ubc.ca.

Routledge Companion to Contemporary African American Literature
The Routledge Companion to Contemporary African American Literature seeks to provide readers a look at the way certain scholars of the African diaspora understand and engage multimodal texts in this contemporary moment with a nod towards the historical traditions from which these texts emerge. These conversations inevitably carry with them an awareness of the ways in which certain works produced in Black American literary history continue to resist certain political imperatives historically associated with the protest tradition. This resistance is also part of the larger Black American literary history and the Routledge Companion to Contemporary African American Literature also welcomes for publication how such conversations have manifested in the twenty-first century context.
300-word abstracts due: September 15, 2024

Mindfulness, Movement, and Cultural Revitalization: Indigenous Contemplative Theories and Practices
Co-edited by Dr. Laura Dunn (Santa Clara University) and Dr. Tria Blu Wakpa (University of California, Los Angeles), this collection will feature diverse voices and perspectives that illuminate and celebrate the abundance, endurance, and revitalization of Indigenous practices globally. The volume will broaden the field of contemplative studies to encompass the integral ontologies, practices, and knowledge systems of Indigenous peoples, which colonization has often targeted and sought to obscure. By centering Indigenous peoples, practices, and their cultural revitalization projects in the discourse on contemplative studies, we aim to illuminate modes of Indigenous mindfulness and movement and their histories, politics, and contributions. We invite contributions from scholars, authors, artists, and Indigenous leaders and practitioners. In particular, we seek submissions that reflect the vast array of global Indigenous communities, such as those from Africa, the Americas, Western, Eastern, South, and Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Pacific.
deadline: Aug 31, 2024 for chapter or project abstracts
Please contact Laura Dunn (ldunn@ses.gtu.edu) and Tria Blu Wakpa (triabluwakpa@g.ucla.edu) for more information.

Global Asexualities and Aromanticisms
In the past two decades, asexuality studies scholarship has grown exponentially, reflecting the rise of asexual and aromantic communities around the world. The majority of scholarship in asexuality studies, however, remains either on Anglophone ace communities, primarily in North America, or situated in Western sexual epistemologies. This edited volume seeks to explore a broader array of global asexualities and aromanticisms by gathering together scholarship on ace and aro identities, resonances, and their translations both outside of Western contexts and beyond Western colonial knowledge frames. We envision a dynamic collection of academic research articles, non-academic essays, interviews, and English translations of the many manifesto/a/xs that have been written around ace/aro politics outside of the Anglophone world, as well as asexuality studies scholarship that is happening in languages other than English.
Please email abstracts (up to 300 words), along with a 100-word bio, to globalacearo@gmail.com by September 30, 2024.

Decolonizing Energy
In this special issue, planned to appear in South Atlantic Quarterly issue 126.1 (January 2027), we invite contributors working in the energy humanities to identify and unpack key scenes for theorizing energy in classic decolonial/anticolonial thought–including the work Fanon, W. E. B. DuBois, Aimé Césaire, Sylvia Wynter, Gloria Anzaldúa, Patrice Lumumba, Jalal Al-e Ahmad, Husain al-Rahhal, among others. Though the contemporary “canon” of decolonial theory is deep and broad, we propose to return to and address classic and foundational works of the late twentieth century. Our aim is to produce a special issue that lays the groundwork for a new intellectual history of energetic liberation, by inviting energy-focused readings of influential keystone texts. The issue will offer 10-12 shorter essays (of roughly 4000 words) rather than a smaller set of full-length articles.
Proposals Due: December 1, 2024

Ruins in the Visual Imagination
https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20037995/ruins-visual-imagination
Ruins in the Visual Imagination uses Heinrich Heine’s words as a starting point for a multidisciplinary investigation of the language of ruins as it emerges from film, television, photography, comics, video games, fine art, and digital arts and media. As it looks at the materiality of urban disintegration and the agency of ruins in our imagery, this edited collection explores the wide range of visible layers deposited across decades, centuries, and millennia on a multitude of human settlements, with a particular focus on the presence of ruins, ancient and modern, in our cities. We plan to consider both abandoned places and ruins integrated in the fabric of the city, with the intent of going beyond the romanticization of ruins and with the ambition of engaging with a more complex reading of how the arts and popular culture have shaped our connection with a tangible past.
The deadline for proposals is 1 October 2024.

LGBTIQ+ Representations and Media in US Popular Culture: Exploring New Directions, Challenges, and Queer Heritage
https://erevistas.publicaciones.uah.es/ojs/index.php/reden/announcement/view/31
Over the years, LGBTIQ+ representation has moved beyond the binary and traditional confines, paving the way for an array of diverse narratives and identities. A recent GLAAD report (2022) found LGBTIQ+ representation on US TV at a high, with nearly 12% of regular characters who are LGBTIQ+, up 2.8% from the previous year. However, the study found that there were shortfalls and missing opportunities to tell a wider range of stories about LGBTIQ+ characters. This double special dossier aims to examine, critique, and celebrate these representations seeking to foster a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of LGBTIQ+ representations and media in US popular culture.
Deadline for submission (full paper): October 15, 2024

Queer Futures
https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/futures/about/call-for-papers
Practices of queering, weirding, making strange are advancing prior efforts of the futures field to expand its knowledge base towards more diverse epistemologies and methodologies. Besides solidifying the theoretical substantiation of the field in ongoing discourse, queer futures and queer futuring yield alternative ways of future-making and invite the inclusion of wider status groups both in the futures community and as addressees and clients of its research and consulting services. Aligning with the theme of the 2023 World Futures Studies Federation conference on ‘Exploring Liminalities’, queer futures are probing limitations, boundaries, margins and liminalities of futures studies. We welcome a variety of article forms such as, but not limited to essays/opinionates and position papers, methodical frameworks and conceptual study designs, case studies and reports of ongoing research projects, perspectives, speculations and reflection papers in line with the journal’s guidelines and quality criteria.
Please submit your manuscript before September 30th, 2024.

Seeking Essays for a Volume on Diversity
https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20039014/call-chapters
Diversity is one of the most used concepts. Yet, its complexities, plural meaning, and other aspects have rarely been understood since popular views of race, culture, and identity in North America and Europe have generally dominated discussions in international academic and non-academic settings. Moreover, while the scholarship on diversity is massive, it has not sufficiently explored the concept from interdisciplinary perspectives. Furthermore, this scholarship has often ignored the complex and unique experiences, customs, and perspectives that shape people’s understanding of identity.
In addition to your full name, institutional affiliation, phone number, and e-mail address, please submit a working title and a brief abstract of 250 words, a one-page abbreviated resume or CV (only if it is available), and a 50-word biography. These must be submitted with the essay by November 18, 2024, to Dr. Babacar M’Baye (email bmbaye@kent.edu).
Life Writing Beyond the Human
Life writing would seem, on the face of it, to be essentially concerned with the human. But life writing has long been concerned with the non-human, those things and beings that are beyond human society, biology, and conception. The correlation of life writing, environmental writing and ecology is a contemporary concern for writers and critics in the current period known as the Anthropocene. Subsequently, 'recent studies into post-human autobiography have extended the autobiographer’s sense of obligation to be ethical, by raising questions regarding our obligations to non-human subjects (such as animals and robots) in life writing'. In this Special Issue we are calling for submissions of/about all modes of life writing, which considers experiences, relationality, and intersubjectivity beyond the human. How do we write the abundance of more-than-human and nonhuman life in which we are situate our own? What forms emerge when lives aren't coded via anthropocentric time lines? How might anthropogenic climate change prompt urgent new forms of life writing that exceed and entangle human subjectivities?

Bringing planetary boundaries back to Earth: Rethinking accounting for ecological limits
The Social and Environmental Accountability Journal invites submissions for a special issue titled “Bringing planetary boundaries back to Earth: Rethinking accounting for ecological limits”. This issue aims to foster a critical engagement with the concept of planetary boundaries in accounting and accountability for ecological limits. This special issue aims to enhance our comprehension of humanity’s impact on Earth’s ecological systems by exploring how the field of accounting can transcend traditional organizational and professional confines and contribute to a more holistic understanding and effective management of, as well as care for, planetary boundaries. To this end, we invite contributions that explore the intersections of accounts and accountings, environmental awareness, ecological limits, and the sustainability of life on earth.

Inaugural Issue of Remedial Herstory: A Journal of Women's History for Educators
Our journal aims to provide a platform for scholarly research on women's history while striving to make academic content more accessible to educators and their students.

Generation: The Fourth Annual Critical Femininities Conference
https://critfemgeneration.blogspot.com/
virtual, August 16-18, 2024
The Centre for Feminist Research at York University is hosting scholars, researchers, activists, and artists for the fourth annual Critical Femininities Conference on the theme of ‘Generation.’ To generate is to cause, create, or bring about. A generation may refer to a relation in time or the creation of art, scholarship, solidarity, or power. This conference aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of and attitudes towards femininity across different generations, interrogating how various social, cultural, political, and technological factors intersect with and shape our experiences. In this moment of intergenerational conflicts, climate crisis, and generative AI, the time has come to think critically about our generations and what we generate.

The Kn/Own/Able Project—An Interdisciplinary Initiative around Knowledge Ownership
The Max Planck Institute for the History of Science is excited to announce the launch of the “kn/own/able Project,” an interdisciplinary communications initiative towards social change around knowledge and its ownership. The goal of the kn/own/able project is to demonstrate how “knowing” and “owning” are indivisible, or kn/own/able. This spans academic and wider social spheres, and has impacts across (de)colonialism, heritage, law, environmental change, science development and more. LEARN MORE on our website, https://knownable.org, where you can find explainer videos, graphics, and podcast episodes, and the open-access bookOwnership of Knowledge: Beyond Intellectual Property.
