Well-Being & Social Justice: Co-creating Kitchen
Table History - Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, Genders, and
Sexualities
https://berksconference.org/2026-big-berks/
18-21 June 2026 at Northwestern University, Evanston,
Illinois
What does a well society – or wellness in a socially just
society – look like? These are profound questions of great magnitude and
consequence whether we are examining the past or abiding in the present. And
they are quite definitely weighty matters as we consider and construct, right
here and now, our individual and collective human- and eco-futures. We invite
historical, intellectual, artistic, activist, and world-building contributions
that define and explore wellness, well-being, and care in relationship to the
personal, interpersonal, societal, human-centric, and eco-centric. We invite
you—national and international scholars, activists, and artists of all
persuasions, and especially graduate students and early career colleagues—to
collaborate and be nourished and nourish each other.
Submit your proposals before January 31, 2025.
For more information, please email: execadmin@berksconference.org
Unsettling Institutions
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdc5spzSti3vIIdumWuens54she4y47GgqR2nf8VnQqRu1nBg/viewform
The Graduate History Association of the University of
Massachusetts Amherst invites proposals for its 21st annual Graduate History
Conference on April 18-19.
The conference aims to bring together an interdisciplinary
group of graduate students to consider how bedrock institutions have shaped –
and continue to shape– societies, cultures, politics, and our collective lived
experiences. How, for example, have institutions constrained the lives of
particular groups in the past? How have people responded when institutions have
stopped serving their intended purpose? We encourage proposals to engage with
the question of how we might connect these topics to modern-day issues of
social justice, democracy, and community.
Proposals will be accepted until January 15, 2024 and
accepted applicants will be notified in early February. Proposals should be
200-300 words.

Displaced Arts:
Creative Practices and Geographies of Asylum
https://www.iash.ed.ac.uk/news/call-papers-displaced-arts-creative-practices-and-geographies-asylum
University of Edinburgh, June 24th 2025
Building on a burgeoning body of scholarship in the arts and
humanities, as well as the social sciences, which has emphasised the importance
of creative practices and methodologies in migration studies, the symposium
will focus on the situated nature of displaced arts as it asks: How have
displaced arts and indigenous knowledges been used as creative placemaking
practices to navigate unfamiliar environments? How might they render obscured
or hidden geographies of asylum more visible? How can creative initiatives
facilitate integration in new (and sometimes unlikely) sites of refugee
resettlement? What cross-cultural artistic practices have emerged from these
evolving geographies? And how might these practices form new socialities and
solidarities which transcend or challenge the sovereignty of national borders
asserted through asylum regimes?
Please submit abstracts (250 words) for
fifteen-minute papers and a short bio (100 words) to displacedarts25@gmail.com by 15th
January.
Time & Justice.
Temporal Interrogations into Social-Ecological Justice
DFG Humanities Centre for Advanced Studies "Futures of
Sustainability" based at the University of Hamburg is hosting the Young
Scholars' Conference: "Time & Justice. Temporal Interrogations into
Social-Ecological Justice" from 8–10 October 2025 in Hamburg, Germany. Participants are invited to submit an abstract
(max. 500 words) and a short biography by 15 February 2025 to

Imaginary Futures:
Utopias, Dystopias & Protopias of Cultural Studies
https://www.culturalstudiesassociation.org/conference.html
May 29 - 31, 2025, California Institute of the
Arts–Valencia, California \
How can we as cultural studies scholars make sense of
different possibilities for the future, through both optimistic and pessimistic
lenses, and the ways in which culture shapes those possibilities? And to what
extent can theoretical imaginings structure praxis and make actual these
potential futures? The keywords provided by this year’s theme offer some
directions: While a utopia denotes a static state of cultural and political
perfection—a society when it has become as good as it possibly can get—a
dystopia can be defined as a space wherein people are stuck in a kind of
recurring pattern of suffering. Through this year’s theme, we encourage
submissions that explore the production and consumption of future imaginaries,
and/or how future imaginaries intersect with lived material conditions,
cultural practices, or other major discourses. In doing so, we embrace the call
for a “futurist cultural studies” (Powers 2020), one that acknowledges both the
possibilities for emancipatory progress, and the consequences of failure to
achieve that progress.
Deadline for Submissions: Sunday, February 23, 2025, 11:59

Asia in the Digital
Age
The Digital Age has reshaped how Asian regions engage with
the world and transformed cultural, economic, and political landscapes across
Asia. The rapid advancement of digital technology in Asia has created new
opportunities for cultural exchange, economic growth, and political
interactions, while also presenting unique challenges in areas such as digital
citizenship, privacy and information control, and the emergence of hegemonies
rooted in online interactions and rising technological inequities. These
developments offer rich ground for exploration within the field of Asian studies,
as the region continues to navigate the evolution of the digital age.

Heroes in
Contemporary Popular Culture: Figures, Forms, and Functions
21-23 October 2025, McGill University and Concordia
University Montréal, Hybrid (Onsite and
Online)
Stories shape the way that we view the world and understand
our relationship with it. One of the oldest and most universal kind of story
features the hero. The hero is an inspirational and aspirational figure who
saves individuals or communities from hostile forces, misfortune, or ruin. Some
heroes do this by means of supernatural powers, while others rely on strength,
courage, wisdom, or cunning. The purpose of this conference is to bring
scholars across disciplines into conversation on the nature and role of heroes
in popular culture in all its media expressions, and on the influence of hero
stories on contemporary society.
Please submit your proposal to Sarina Odden Meyer <sarina.meyer@mail.concordia.ca>
before 10 January 2025.

Feminist reclamations for emancipatory futures in life
and work
https://slownetwork1.wordpress.com/feminist-reclamations-for-emancipatory-futures-in-life-and-work/
18-20 June 2025, Manchester Metropolitan University
This stream engages with the idea of regeneration, adopting
feminist perspectives with the aim of interrogating, problematizing and
critiquing its dynamics and implications for life and work. Regeneration has
become the central narrative in the exploration of future possibilities of
being and living. Terms like renewal, recovery, reinvigoration and reinvention
have been associated with regeneration; implicit to these terms is moving away
from the past and present as moments that have failed to deliver sustainable
ways of existence, and the importance of embracing a future that is crafted
with a view to pioneer new forms of existence. However, important questions
remain regarding why regeneration is needed, what kind of regeneration is
expected, what is the agenda for regeneration and whose interests it serves.
Send abstracts, summaries or synopses of approximately 500
words to feminist.reclamations@proton.me by Friday, 31st of January 2025.
PUBLICATIONS
Genders &
Sexualities in Transnational Perspective
Genders &
Sexualities in Transnational Perspective is intended to produce an
accessible text that explores the intersectional relationship between gender
studies and sexuality studies; contest the binary constructions of “North”/
“South”, “East”/ “West”, and “developed”/ “developing” worlds; and help bridge
conversations across scholars in different parts of the world. We begin with
the premise that gender and sexuality are social constructions that can only be
understood in intersectional, historical, cultural, and transnational context. Potential
areas of interest include, but are not limited to: theoretical debates and
critical interventions relating to essentialism and/or constructionism,
intersectionality; postcolonalism and indigenous, trans, intersex, and queer
perspectives, feminist and queer disability; and cross-cultural analyses.
Topics of focus relate to social media, but also are not limited to:
socialization, family, religion, work, education, science, religion, war and
militarism, crime and punishment, health and medicine, politics, activism, social
movements, and the environment. Cross-national perspectives and local case
studies that link to broader structural concerns are strongly encouraged in
line with the broader focus of the volume.
We welcome proposals of various sorts: traditional academic
investigations, innovative theoretical or research ideas, personal narratives
as learning tools, ethnographic analysis, and others. We intentionally wish to
welcome innovative, creative, and non-standard contributions to stand alongside
traditional academic ones in order to reflect the diversity of knowledge and
knowledge sharing that this volume hopes to represent.
Proposals should be roughly 300-500 words (longer proposals
and full submissions are also welcome) and can be submitted jointly to Nancy (nancy.naples@uconn.edu)
and Michael (j.michaelsociology@gmail.com). We would like to receive all
proposals by January 1st, 2025

Puerto Rican Radical
Tradition
https://centropr.hunter.cuny.edu/opportunities/the-puerto-rican-radical-tradition/
This is a call for contributions to a special issue of CENTRO
Journal on The Puerto Rican Radical Tradition. We define the
Puerto Rican Radical Tradition as a complex political space encompassing a
variety of political, social, and cultural movements opposing and resisting
racial/colonial capitalism from the particularity of Puerto Rican experiences.
This call for papers is an invitation and call to action, to reconceptualize,
document, and carry on the Puerto Rican Radical Tradition in its fullness and
complexity. We seek original and previously unpublished contributions from a
wide range of academic disciplines and activist perspectives, as well as
formats and genres. We are encouraged by abundant recent scholarship opening
new avenues for this kind of work, as well as recent developments in Puerto
Rican politics that suggest the radical tradition is alive and well.

Challenging Nihilism
An Exploration of Culture and Hope
https://www.degruyter.com/journal/key/culture/html#specialIssues
It seems that nowadays a fairly generalized feeling is that
we are living through bleak and incongruous
times. 1) Bleak because in recent times there has been an
unprecedented retreat from human rights and
social values as the logic of capital (growth, profit,
accumulation) is, to all appearance, replacing the
principles of justice, solidarity, and the common good that,
to a greater or lesser extent, used to preside
over social and civic life. In like manner, the erosion of
democratic politics, the growth of inequality, the
spread of ethnonationalism, and the normalization of cruelty
are transforming the ways we make sense
of social relations. Given present circumstances, hope can
be a revolutionary force. Hope requires a different way of conceiving the past,
present, and future. Hope helps question the sense of inevitability of history
and the imposed limitations of dominant narratives.
Submissions will be collected from January 1 to April 30,
2025 via the online submission system at

Pasts Imagined: Creative Methods in Knowledge Production
about History, Memory and Culture
https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20053967/call-book-chapters
Creative methods are increasingly considered a source for
new knowledge production, while the past has increasingly become a site of
fascination and nostalgia for contemporary audiences and scholars alike. Yet,
historical revisionism might also offer a way of giving voice to marginalised
perspectives at the intersections of gender, sex, race, ability, sexuality,
religion and embodiment. What, then, does this mean for contemporary artists,
arts-workers and communities to return, revise or intervene in narratives about
the past? In what ways can techniques like fictionalisation and anachronism
draw attention to the links between past, present and future? What are the
ethics and methodological responsibilities of representing the past in multiple
media? In what ways can other versions of the past disrupt dominant knowledge
systems and power structures?
Title and abstracts for chapters of 5000-6000 words due: 3

Dissenting Feminisms
https://irw.rutgers.edu/about-rejoinder
From campaigns against disenfranchisement to protests
against sexual and gender-based violence, feminism has historically combined
dissent—against exclusion, subordination, and prevailing power structures—with
a focus on the imperative for social and political transformation. This issue
of Rejoinder explores the history of feminist dissent and how it has shifted
through the decades, both for activists and academics. In addition to a
historical focus, we seek to address contemporary manifestations of dissent
within feminism, exploring who successfully forges narratives that challenge
feminism’s dominant iteration(s)—and what accounts for their success. We ask
whose feminist voices are excluded from, or marginalized in, prevailing
feminist discourse and consider what this implies about feminism's future. Please
send completed written work (2,000-2,500 words max -- MS Word), jpegs of
artwork, and short bios to irw@sas.rutgers.edu with "Rejoinder
Submission" in the subject line by January 15, 2025.

Special Issue on
Place
https://www.semioticreview.com/ojs/index.php/sr/issue/view/8
This special issue examines how people in an array of
cultural contexts interpret the experience of place to furnish the conceptual
language that structures collective narratives of the world and the cosmos. The
issue encompasses articles that illuminate the forces that hold our realities
together and render them intelligible. As editors, we have elected to label
this complex of cultural practices and expressions local cosmology, but we also
acknowledge that the discourses produced therein have ramifications that extend
into the regional, the national, the global, and the universal.
Like all thematic issues, this issue will remain open to new
essays and interventions, and there is thus no deadline for submission.

Assistant Professor,
Women's and Gender Studies, Mount Royal University
https://mtroyalca.hua.hrsmart.com/hr/ats/Posting/view/3091
The Women's and Gender Studies (WGST) Program at MRU is
committed to intersectional, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive pedagogies and to
providing a brave learning space for students where they are encouraged to
think critically, creatively, and self-reflexively in the pursuit of a more
just world. Women’s and Gender Studies courses investigate the construction and
mobilization of racialized, cis-heteronormative and colonial gender formations
and are explicitly interdisciplinary, intersectional, and transnational,
reflecting the rich interdisciplinary frameworks of feminist, gender, and queer
theories.
The successful candidate will be a teacher-scholar broadly
trained in gender, women’s, sexuality, and/or feminist studies with expertise
in field(s) that complement but do not duplicate those already represented. Particular
areas of interest include but are not limited to theories and practices of Indigenous,
critical race, and/or transnational feminist, queer and/or trans studies. We
are also interested in feminist science and technology studies.
First consideration will be given to complete applications
submitted by February 14, 2025.
For more information about Women’s and Gender Studies,
contact Dr. Corinne Mason, cmason@mtroyal.ca.

Queer Career:
Sexuality and Work in Modern America with Margot Canaday
https://www.hagley.org/research/history-hangout-margot-canaday
In this episode of Hagley History Hangout Roger Horowitz
interviews Margot Canaday about her remarkable book Queer Career: Sexuality and
Work in Modern America that received the received 2024 Hagley Prize for the
best book in business history that year.
Canaday’s Queer Career’s principal focus is on the private sector,
business enterprises large and small, and traces the opportunities, obstacles,
and accomplishments of LGBT+ people as they sought to make a living from the
1950s through today. She emphasizes that as federal and many state agencies
routinely refused to hire LGBT+ people, their most important sources of
employment was in the private sector.

is on the private sector, business enterprises large and small, and traces the
opportunities, obstacles, and accomplishments of LGBT+ people as they sought to
make a living from the 1950s through today. She emphasizes that as federal and
many state agencies routinely refused to hire LGBT+ people, their most
important sources of employment was in the private sector. Still facing
pressures to keep their sexuality hidden in their jobs, their precarity lead
them to accept lesser positions and pay than they might otherwise would have
qualified for. Once stablished, they nonetheless made great strides in economic
opportunity over these decades in white collar and blue collar jobs, and by
creating their own firms.
