Proposed panel for the Association for Asian Studies conference, AAS to be held in Boston in March 2027.
This panel explores how multimodal science fiction and fantasy pedagogies invites student engagement, retention, and career readiness across disciplines. Building on research demonstrating that storytelling supports the retention and transfer of knowledge, the panel argues that speculative and multimodal teaching practices create immersive learning environments that connect imagination to real-world application.

The ancient Greek concept of parrhesia, or “fearless speech,” examined by Michel Foucault in a series of later lectures, has generated a steady stream of scholarship from a variety of perspectives: philosophical, political, social, even personal. Considering instances of parrhesia in literary texts can help us understand the underlying tensions between oppression and resistance, especially for those figures whose parrhesia takes the form of refusal.

About the Conference
The conference, “Narratives of the Mind: Media, Literature and Culture,” is conceived as an interdisciplinary platform for examining the complex and evolving representations of the human mind across diverse branches: literature, culture, and media . In this context, the “mind” is not regarded solely as a structural or biological entity, but as a dynamic site shaped by language, narrative, ideology, technology, and cultural practices. By foregrounding narratives, the conference aims to illuminate how mental experiences are constructed, expressed, mediated, and contested across time and space.

Theme: The Architecture of Solitude
Deadline: July 10, 2026

Solitude is rarely a vast, empty space—it is built. It has walls we erect to protect our innermost selves, windows through which we watch a noisy world, drafty corners of loneliness, and sacred sanctuaries of deliberate peace.
Throughout the history of political thought and cultural production, multitudes and mobs that stir up disturbance across the nation, whether revolutionary or reactionary, have frequently been portrayed by the images and metaphors of monstrosity. From the many-headed hydra which was adapted into a political discourse in the early modern age and later revisited by historians such as Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker, to contemptuous terms toward the insurrectionists such as swarms or locusts described in Samuel Dolbee’s Locusts of Power, monstrosity and various of dehumanizing terms have long been employed as a signifier through which fears of insurrections are expressed.
Mediapolis – A Journal of Cities and Culture is an interdisciplinary open access online journal, drawing a connection between culture and the built environment – understood in the broadest sense. We publish research in different forms, from research articles to Q&A interviews and readings list, and across different academic fields, including but not limited to media studies, urban studies, geography, architecture and art history as well as digital humanities.
