CONFERENCES  AND WORKSHOPS

Southern Humanities Conference - Tides and Time, Ebbs and Flows

https://www.southernhumanities.org/call-for-papers

Annapolis, MD, January 29- February 1, 2026

For 2026 our conference theme will be “Tides and Time, Ebbs and Flows.”  Hoping to draw inspiration from our oceanside locale, we seek contributions on a wide range of topics that explore any aspect of the theme, however it may draw you in. Though each age undergoes its share of political, economic, and cultural change, our lived experiences of the contemporary certainly “feel” dynamically powerful, even historical.  The social texture of our present age stretches with each controversy, unprecedented political shift, and energetic social trend.  And yet, the continuities and communal connections to the past often remind us to keep our presentism in check and be precise in our assessments of what exactly has altered and how deeply the alterations have impacted the world around us. The Southern Humanities Conference invites proposals for papers on any aspect of the theme “Time and Tides, Ebbs and Flows” broadly conceived. Our conference themes are meant to be inspiring and prompt reflection, not limiting.

Proposals are due by December 1, 2025,

Archetypes & Myths

https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20070098/archetypes-myths-graduate-student-conference-call-papers

October 17 - October 19, 2025, SMU Main Campus, Dallas, TX

Mythmaking permeates both the humanities disciplines and popular culture. Myths and archetypes often function by simplifying complex events, histories, and identities into more recognizable, and sometimes misleading, narratives. From national founding stories to literary tropes, from cultural stereotypes to regional notions of progress, myths and archetypes deeply influence how we interpret the past, frame the present, and imagine the future. This year’s theme asks us to think critically about the role of archetypes and myths in our respective disciplines: how has mythmaking pervaded the ways in which we make meaning of our social world?  How do archetypes delineate elements of human experience? We invite you to consider the roles of both archetyping and mythmaking within the works you study—be it literary works, historical archives, etc.—as well as how pervasive disciplinary paradigms shape the ways in which you approach your scholarship.

Submission Deadline: August 29, 2025

Everyday resistance: Thinking, making, and living in the material world

November 7th 2025l; Location: University of Brighton

What does resistance mean? How can individuals and communities resist hegemonic social orders? Can resistance occur without new forms of subjugation, transgression without the (re)institution of new norms? Does resistance ever have an end goal? These questions are repeated in the fields of philosophy, political theory, history and beyond.  This one-day conference aims to centre resistance as it is already lived and embodied, including in practices that do not appear immediately “political”, and through materials and forms of making historically subjugated.

Questions? Please contact the organisers on A.Damoiseaux1@uni.brighton.ac.uk and T.Pryce2@uni.brighton.ac.uk

Proposals due July 6th 2025

 

Climate Havens: Humanistic Perspectives on Resilience, Migration, and Resources Symposium

https://events.rochester.edu/event/humanities-center-climate-havens-humanistic-perspectives-on-resilience-migration-and-resources-symposium

University of Rochester and Rochester Institute of Technology, April 16-17, 2026

As climate risks intensify, the idea of “climate havens”—and the identification of regions like the Great Lakes as more resilient to environmental change—raises pressing questions about space, belonging, justice, resources, and community. This symposium will explore climate havens through historical, philosophical, artistic, literary, and cultural perspectives, organized around three central themes: What Is a Haven?, Whose Haven Is It?, and Climate Havens and Natural Resources.

Submission deadline: August 15

Please submit your questions and papers to humanities@rochester.edu.

In a time of ecological disruption, multispecies entanglements, and increasing sensitivity to planetary interdependencies, this conference invites explorations at the intersection of Blue Humanities, Human-Animal Studies, and artistic-aesthetic practices. Under the title “Blue Animal Aesthetics”, we aim to create a space for thinking with and through water, nonhuman animals, and art. The conference seeks interdisciplinary contributions that engage with oceanic and aquatic worlds, the politics, ethics and aesthetics of nonhuman animals, and the role of art, music, literature, and performance in navigating fluid ecologies and relational thinking in the Chthulucene.

Though each age undergoes its share of political, economic, and cultural change, our lived experiences of the contemporary certainly “feel” dynamically powerful, even historical.  The social texture of our present age stretches with each controversy, unprecedented political shift, and energetic social trend.  And yet, the continuities and communal connections to the past often remind us to keep our presentism in check and be precise in our assessments of what exactly has altered and how deeply the alterations have impacted the world around us.  Every tide embodies a consistent rhythm amidst the starkness of change.

Is a Better World Possible? - Solidarity as a Conversation across Temporalities

https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/arts/hrc/confs/bwp/

A one-day hybrid interdisciplinary conference at the University of Warwick, Saturday 29th November 2025

We live in an age where lives and livelihoods are constantly rendered precarious due to various crises in the form of war, political and economic instabilities, gender disparities, racial exploitation and climate change. Our times have therefore seen calls for solidarities oriented toward making a better world possible- a world built around principles of social justice and equality. ‘Is a Better World Possible?’  will be a one-day hybrid and interdisciplinary conference exploring solidarity and its relationship with temporality. This conference aims to excavate the many forms, meanings and approaches attached to the idea of solidarity, spanning historical manifestations such as anticolonial national liberation struggles to more contemporary movements such as ‘Black Lives Matter’ in the US, the feminist ‘Ni Una Menos’ movement across Latin America, and the ongoing Palestine solidarity and BDS movement. We anticipate theoretical and praxis-based submissions, which will bring together scholars, activists and artists, across the fields of history, political science, literature, philosophy, gender and cultural studies.

Please submit an abstract of not more than 300 words along with a short bio-note of 150 words to the organisers, Archana Vinod and Malvika Nair, at solidarityconference25@gmail.com by June 30, 2025

 

 

PUBLICATIONS

Updating Ecocriticism: Perspectives from Gen Z

https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20070107/updating-ecocriticism-perspectives-gen-z

We are looking for a variety of approaches from the time-tested methods of reading literature and the arts through ecological lenses to the study of new media forms such as video games, music videos, AI- or human-created content on social media and online platforms such as Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, and X. If ecocriticism, having already grown into the wider field of the environmental humanities, now summons “a new generation” of knowledge production, then we believe this kind of production must be fed by multiple perspectives, from medical to digital, embodied to algorithmic, speculative to scientific. This, we believe, requires a completely new mirror reflecting the humanities’ ongoing commitment to exploring meaning, imagination, and planetary ethics in a time of crisis.

To contribute to this edited book as a Gen Z scholar, please e-mail your chapter proposal of around 250 to 500 words (with 3 to 5 keywords) and your short biography of 100 words to zgizemyz@gmail.com, bashak@gmail.com, and filipovalen@gmail.com by 17 November 2025.

Politics of Reshaping Higher Education: Resistance, and Compliance Strategies and Practices

https://vernonpress.com/proposal/361/45c2bdb2e542eefcc4b5cc7c8c972216

Across the globe, higher education is undergoing profound transformations in response to shifting political, economic, and social pressures. These transformations—manifested in policy reforms, managerial practices, funding models, curriculum restructuring, and labour precarity—are reshaping the core values and missions of universities. In this context, the academy has become a contested site where various actors—faculty, administrators, students, policymakers, and communities—engage in practices of resistance and compliance. We invite chapter proposals for an international edited collection that critically examines how higher education institutions and the individuals within them navigate and negotiate these changes amid accelerating global uncertainties, political pressures, and technological shifts. This volume will explore how institutions, educators, students, and administrators are responding—through strategies of resistance, compliance, and adaptation—to a complex and often contradictory landscape of reform, crisis, and innovation.

Proposal submission deadline: 27 July 2025

All proposals must be sent to: berrin.yanikkaya@yeditepe.edu.tr & berrin.yanikkaya@gmail.com

Mobility Regimes

https://www.radicalhistoryreview.org/mobility-regimes/

Scholars of migration have made tremendous strides in interrogating the structural conditions that impact the ability of people to move across and within borders and, as crucially, to stay in their homes. Often, however, these interrogations have led to the mobility and displacement of peoples being studied in isolation from each other—immigrants as strictly opposed to refugees, international migrants contrasted with internal migrants, and so forth. It is of course always paramount to acknowledge the many different contexts that have shaped particular kinds of migrant experiences in the past and in the present. This issue will bring together scholars, practitioners and historically-minded activists from a wide range of subfields and disciplines in order to make critical connections across the expansive world of migration studies. Doing so, we hope, will encourage more capacious understandings of migration.

proposals due July 7, 2025

Dictionary of Gender in Translation

The Dictionary of Gender in Translation –a project of the International Research Network-IRN World Gender– is open to new contributions. Launched on June 18, 2021, this multilingual and online Dictionary seeks to contribute to the understanding of how concepts and ideas concerning gender, sexuality and feminism travel and combine in many languages and cultures. The goal is to shed light on the ways in which these notions are understood in different linguistic, social, political and cultural contexts, and on how gender studies have developed in these diverse contexts.

The Dictionary has three interfaces, in French, English, and Spanish. Entries can be written in any language, but if they are written in a language other than those of the three interfaces, they must be accompanied by a translation in French, English, or Spanish.

Please submit a proposal that outlines in about ten lines the content of the future entry, its format, the authors, and the language(s) in which it will be written before September 15, 2025 to: umr8238.dictionnairegenre@services.cnrs.fr

 

‘Sinners' (2025): Critical Approaches to Ryan Coogler’s Groundbreaking Black Vampiric Horror Film

https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20071053/black-camera-journal-call-close-submissions-sinners-2025-critical

Sinners is rich with meaning. Coogler was inspired by his own personal history, including his family’s participation in the Great Migration and his late uncle James, a native Mississippian, who loved blues music. In this way–and similar to its Black horror predecessors–Sinners uses popular genres and a connection to lived experiences to engage discourse and form critical commentary on issues related to race, class, gender, sexuality, and spirituality. Some questions to consider regarding textual and contextual readings of Sinners are: What are the theoretical implications of Coogler’s take on the Black horror genre?  More pointedly, how does the vampire narrative in Sinners provide a vehicle for discourse on the impact of anti-Black racism, as well as colonialism and imperialism, in historical and contemporary contexts? What tensions, contradictions, and complexities arise from the film’s engagement with issues related to religion and spirituality? 

For your submission, please include completed essay, a 150-word abstract, and a 50–100 word biography by the deadline, May 16, 2026.

Contact Email  SinnersBlackCamera@gmail.com

Whether through raw confession or surreal metaphor, we want writing that shatters the glass to reveal what lingers beneath. Submissions may blur the line between soliloquy and dialogue—after all, a reflection answers.

Dis:connectivity and Globalisation: Concepts, Terms, Practices

Globalisation is one of the most contested concepts of our time. From its promise of borderless flows of people, goods and finance in the 1990s, it embodies today almost the opposite: deglobalisation, as tariffs are erected, borders heavily policed, anti-migration regimes enforced and sanctions levied. This ‘disconnect’ between promise and realisation is the subject of the online panel series „Dis:connectivity and Globalisation: Concepts, Terms, Practices“. The multidisciplinary contributions explore key concepts that illuminate processes of globalisation from a dis:connective perspective, which highlights the role of delays and detours, interruptions, resistances and absences as constitutive of globalisation. The series proposes rethinking globalisation by redefining the terminology we use to describe and analyse it. The panel series is at the same time a pre book-launch of the volume „Dis:connectivity and Globalisation“ which will be published in July 2025.
