India is poised to press home its civilisational charisma and unique advantages in the quest to realise its goals under the mission Viksit Bharat 2047. Fuelled by conceptual, imaginative and practical inputs derived from the continuously preserved Indian Knowledge Systems (Bharatiya Jñāna Paramparā), India’s developmental mission is not for its own exclusive benefit; rather, it is to guide the world in its anxious search for an alternative holistic paradigm of growth that preserves the universal core of human life and values, restores our vital spiritual connections with natural environments and rejuvenates an organic sense of community even as global enterprise prospers and enables a sense of economic well-being and security in people.

CFP: Psychoanalysis in An Indian Key

deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, June 30, 2026

Indian psychoanalysis consistently finds itself in a space of translation—concepts and praxis generated through Euro-American epistemes are translated on the page and in the clinician’s office. Concepts forged in specific Euro-American contexts encounter Indian affective, political and cultural worlds that resist and reshape them. In India, these juxtapositions between lived worlds and psychoanalytic theory have often been navigated through recourse to Hindu mythology, or rarely, through strict adherence to European epistemes.

Humans have long believed we are distinct from other animals in our rationality, self-consciousness, and use of language. Why, then, do writers, artists, and even scientists so often use anthropomorphism to interpret the behaviors of animals, plants, and even nonliving things such as trains, teapots, and toys? What are the repercussions of this tendency to understand the world in terms of human social and cultural identities?

Call for Papers: Visual Propaganda in an Era of Instability

Nottingham Trent University
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, September 1, 2026

This is a call for papers for an international edited volume tentatively titled ‘Visual Propaganda in an Era of Instability’. Based on distinct case studies explored in a wide range of book chapters, the main objective of the volume is to analyse the role of the image in driving public opinion and perception. The main historical period under investigation is from 2020 onwards: a time that is marked by significant social, cultural, political and ideological tensions. Whilst visual propaganda is not a new phenomenon, and contributors are very welcome to reference historical precedents, the main focus of the volume will be on the growing impact of visual propaganda since 2020.

In April 2026, I attended Shauna M. Morgan, Angel Dye, and Madison (Mocha) Hunter's College Language Association panel discussion: “Scripting Soul Work: The Infusive Praxis of Poet-Scholars.” In their talk, each panelist discussed—in prose like fashion—her relationship with her creative and scholarly self, and, in the spirit of Barbara Christian's 1987 “The Race for Theory,” they argued the significance of creative writing to Black and brown folk scholarship and being, which they supported with a reading of their selected poetic works.
