Now We Are Six at One Hundred: Affect, Atmosphere, and Ordinary Feeling in A. A. Milne's Hundred Acre Wood
Edited Collection for the Children's Literature Association Series: Centennial Studies
Call for Abstracts
In 2027, A. A. Milne's Now We Are Six reaches its centenary. This is the second collection of children's verse and the third book in the Pooh sequence, following When We Were Very Young (1924) and Winnie-the-Pooh (1926). It contains 35 poems, all illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. Unlike the prose Pooh books, it is a collection of self-contained poems. The poems move between several interconnected worlds:
Gothic Nature is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that engages with the Gothic conceptions of, and relationship to, the natural world. For the TV and film review section of its sixth issue, the journal seeks reviews for ecoGothic television series and films released in the last couple of years (2023–2026). Issue VI of the journal is unthemed, so there is no restriction on the types of film and TV we’d like reviews for. As a general guideline, we’d be interested to see reviews of the following (please note that this is not an exhaustive list, reviews of other relevant films and programmes are more than welcome):

Re-imagining Language, Writing, and Literature in English in a Fast-Changing World
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)
“Did I request thee, Maker?”: Contemporary Cyborgs and Androids and Their Pre-Modern Antecedents
“It is worse, much worse, than you think” states David Wallace-Wells at the opening of his The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming (2019). “When do we start physically attacking the things that consume our planet and destroy them with our own hands?” asks Andreas Malm in How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2021). “I don’t think about hope much anymore. But I do think about imagination,” writes Terry Tempest Williams in an interview contained in A voice in the Wilderness: Conversations with Terry Tempest Williams (2006). In the spaces between these statements we encounter a range of reactions to our warming condition, from blunt pessimism, to righteous anger, to nuanced reframing.
This in-person roundtable will take place at NEMLA 2027 (March 6-9) at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI.

Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan has expressed interest in this book project.
Women's writing emerged as a critical category in response to the historical exclusion of women from literary canons and archives. The recovery of neglected texts, authors, and traditions has transformed literary studies, creating new genealogies of reading and interpretation. Yet the category itself raises important questions. Does the designation "women's writing" continue to serve as a productive framework, or does it risk reinforcing the very marginalization it seeks to address by positioning women outside the literary mainstream?
On June 8th of this year, FEMSPEC, an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal dedicated to challenging gender through speculative means in any genre, lost our founder and Editor-in-Chief Dr. Batya Weinbaum. Dr. Weinbaum founded the journal in 1997 to fill a scholarly niche at the intersections of feminist theory and scholarship and literary scholarship in the realm of speculative fiction. Since publishing the journal's first issue in 1999, Dr. Weinbaum has served as Editor-in-Chief and as the head of the volunteer collective that manages the journal. The journal was the fruit of her creative effort, and it is thanks to her vision and leadership that the journal has published academic scholarship and creative writing for over 25 years.
