The Collecting and Collectibles Area invites proposals exploring how “collecting” has become an embodiment of the economic, political, environmental, and digital precarities that shape contemporary popular culture. Collecting now operates as a dynamic source for epistemic production, constantly redefining how popular culture is constructed, construed, mediated, valorized, historicized, and even contested.

We are very excited to share a CFP for a roundtable we are chairing at NeMLA 2027: “Creating Community in the AI Age: Empowerment in English Classrooms"! The more we talk about AI in education, the more I find myself thinking about what we don’t want to lose. What's happening to connection and a sense of belonging in our classrooms? How can literature and writing still bring people together, encourage empathy where students feel that their voices matter?

Online symposium: February 19, 2027.
In light of challenges posed by the rapidly changing world, including the environmental crisis, accelerated digitalization, and the implementation of AI technologies, media researchers and intermedial scholars have increasingly turned their attention to questions of ecology, material processes, and nonhuman agency. This shift reflects a growing recognition of the need to reconsider and expand media-centred approaches and to engage critically with broader questions that extend beyond mediation itself.

The Graduate Journal of Food Studies invites submissions for a special issue exploring the theme Food as Joy.
Food is and will always be a source of pleasure, celebration, creativity, and connection. This issue seeks contributions that examine the intersections, tensions, and possibilities of food as a source of joy. We welcome interdisciplinary perspectives and encourage submissions that engage with food's social, cultural, political, environmental, and emotional dimensions.
In Asian context, the Cold War has not ended but became an ongoing structural condition that determines the social, political, and economic dimensions of everyday lives. The unresolved nature of the war has also left traces on a personal level, expressing through one's body, psyche, and their intimate relations. The Korean War (1950-present) as a proxy war between the two global superpowers, for example, has been continuing as manifested on multiple levels, and it keeps bringing back the traumatic past into the present while challenging the authoritarian interpretation of the war as "The Forgotten War". This session will discuss Cold War narratives that are written from the vantage point of those who have been living through the imperialist war violence.
From Unit Chairs:
The religious experience is of significant and acute concern among our varied African diasporic communities and is worthy of close academic exploration and study. The Black Religion & Theology Unit’s mission is to further the development of scholarly research and discussion about the black religious experience; encourage the broadening of Black religion as an academic endeavor; and engage in discourse, from the African diasporic perspective, about religious and theological expression.
I want to be accepted by society…live in a world I don’t have to hide in…make choices without being in constant fear of them destroying me or the ones I care about.” (Ada, liberated TanakX5 robot, on her hopes and dreams. Alex + Ada, Book 11)

The Black Sitcom: A Comprehensive Survey with Critical Essays
1950 – 2000
The figure of the woman traveler has long occupied a distinctive place in the cultural imagination. At once celebrated and contested, she has been represented as explorer, observer, adventurer, ethnographer, journalist, tourist, and pilgrim—but nearly always an antidote to feminine domesticity.
We are currently seeking contributors from across the disciplines for a proposed collection of essays on “the woman traveler.” This volume will explore the enduring and evolving cultural figure across genres and media—from travel writing and photography to film, blogs, Instagram, and TikTok.
