Scope
The 2026 International Postgraduate Comparative Literature Conference (IPCLC 2026), hosted by the Master of Arts in Literary and Cultural Studies (MALCS) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), brings together postgraduate students and emerging scholars from Hong Kong and beyond for a day of cross-cultural conversation. Taking place in person at HKU on May 26, 2026, the conference offers a supportive forum for sharing work in progress, building scholarly networks, and testing new comparative methods across literary, cultural, and media studies. Featuring themed panels, a keynote lecture, and Best Paper Award(s), IPCLC 2026 invites participants to consider how comparison can sharpen our understanding of urgent questions in the humanities.
This panel seesion for the 2026 RMMLA Conference to be held Ocober 8-10, 2026 in Ogden, Utah, seeks papers that explore all aspects of English literature of the twentieth century to present, namely proposals that look at British or ex-patriot artists and/or works by those authors whose English Commonwealth residency influenced their art since 1900. Interdisciplinary approaches to anlyses of the literature are welcome.
The 21st century has been defined by large-scale global change driven by migration, exile, border reconfigurations, political upheaval, and shifting power dynamics – all of which have profoundly shaped debates surrounding human rights, identity, culture, and belonging. Furthermore, as digital platforms collapse geographic distance and intensify new forms of surveillance, nationalism, and exclusion, diasporic subjects must navigate complex landscapes of memory, language, race, gender, and political belonging.
What does it mean to do Black queer/trans studies now? Amidst intensifying state violence both in and outside of the academy, this graduate conference is an invitation to explore the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and power through a global lens. The conference will be a space for inter- and cross-disciplinary dialogue amongst scholars of Black queer and trans life and politics, capaciously defined.

What makes literary collaboration unexpected, difficult, or strange? How have authors transcended barriers – national, social, ideological, religious, temporal – in the collaborative production of texts?
For the upcoming EGO conference at Oxford University, we invite students to write on the prismatic theme of “strange bedfellows”. From plagiarism of unusual sources to fraught collaboration between literary “frenemies” to allyship across religious and political lines, this theme lends itself to discussions of the way literature is shaped by the collaboration of radically different perspectives and interests.

Our theme for the upcoming conference is: “Wicked Reading for Wicked Problems." As those who have collaborated with us in the past, we are once again inviting you to help us explore ways of approaching these 'wicked problems', such as those that evade consensus, offer multiple solutions, or may even resist resolution at all.

Scope
This year’s ICSAH meeting approaches the Art of Mediation as a framework for understanding cross-cultural interaction in history. Throughout time, individuals, institutions, communities, and cultural forms—ranging from language and performance to visual and material culture—have acted as mediators between societies. In negotiating religious difference, political conflict, economic rivalry, and artistic exchange, they shaped the shared spaces where civilisations met, interacted, and coexisted.
The USC Korean Studies Institute invites applications for its annual Pacific Graduate Conference for Korean Studies at USC (PaCKS). This conference aims to foster a multidisciplinary community of local and regional graduate students whose research projects significantly engage Korean society and culture across the periods. It offers a platform for emerging scholars to present their work-in-progress, receive feedback from faculty and peers, and participate in interdisciplinary discussions within a supportive environment.

The infiltration of chaos into any home is not an abrupt occurrence. A fine dust settles on the cracks of wood, sheet folds, window seams, and curtain pleats, waiting for a wind to find its way into the home and liberate the components of scatteredness from their ambush.
Ghazaleh Alizadeh, The House of Edrisis
For those who dominate and oppress us benefit most when we have nothing to give our own, when they have so taken from us our dignity, our humanness that we have nothing left, no "homeplace" where we can recover ourselves.
Hotels are often the first destination of any traveler. Not just a place to unpack and sleep, they are often one’s first exposure to a new culture, a base of operations, and an enormous factor in travel experience outcomes. Given their essential role in travel, hotels especially cater to the tourism industry. In Discourses in Place (2003), Scollon and Scollon develop an important, multi-faceted framework for analyzing text in space, arguing “we can only interpret the meaning of public texts like road signs, notices and brand logos by considering the social and physical world that surrounds them” (1).

This year’s MCLLM theme invites exploration of how literature, language, and performance illuminate intersecting dimensions of justice. How are inherited forms, genres, and rhetorical strategies reactivated in contemporary struggles for equity? In what ways do linguistic, literary, and artistic practices navigate, resist, and respond to the abuse of power while imagining alternative futures?
MCLLM welcomes proposals from a wide range of disciplines and expression forms. The list below provides a sense of the topics the organizers are interested in seeing, but it is not an all-inclusive list. Please submit a proposal that represents your interpretation of our theme!

CFP SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 13, 11:59pm PST
We are pleased to invite proposals for the University of Washington English Department Writing Programs’ sixth annual Praxis Conference, which will be held at the University of Washing, Seattle campus on Friday, May 29th, 2026.
We are pleased to announce that the theme for our 3rd annual online Conference is Fame and Fortune. We invite submissions to both the conference and the journal on this theme.
This year, we turn our attention to the intricate, invisible, but often tangible webs that bound the early modern world together. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were defined by a profound density of connection - a world of intense social binding, material circulation, and intellectual exchange. From the “knot intrinsicate” of Cleopatra’s demise to the conspiracy of rumours that entraps Othello, early modern drama is obsessed with the architecture of entanglement.
