Public scholarship is rapidly becoming both an essential part of an academic CV and a powerful tool for making the case for the importance of the humanities to our society. Adding public scholarship to one’s academic skills, however, is not as straightforward as it may seem. We are seeking scholars to join the roundtable discussion on what public scholarship is, what forms it may take, how to write for a public audience, how and where to pitch ideas, and how public scholarship can benefit one’s other work, among any other questions our colleagues may have about adding public scholarship to their humanities repertoire. We invite proposals from members with a range of public scholarly experience to share their perspectives and expertise.

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes cultural, educational, and creative institutions, the field of Black theatre confronts a familiar set of questions in a newly technological register: Who creates knowledge, who benefits from it, who gets remembered, and whose labor remains obscured? Public conversations about AI often proceed as though these technologies have arrived without history, entering an empty landscape awaiting innovation. Yet Black theatre has long grappled with questions of representation, embodiment, archives, intellectual inheritance, collective memory, labor, and futurity.

NeMLA's 58th Annual Convention

March 6-9, 2027, Salve Regina University, Newport, RI

This panel invites proposals exploring how rhetoric and composition scholars and teachers can develop what bell hooks, Paulo Freire, and other educators in the field call critical consciousness, or our ability to recognize and analyze oppressive political, economic, and social forces shaping society and to take action. Critical consciousness provides a foundation for cultivating students’ civic reasoning and civic literacy skills across diverse institutional and disciplinary contexts.

The Classroom as Counter-Archive: Place-Based Pedagogies of Community Empowerment

Education is an ideal means of empowerment, for it enables students to take ownership of the historical and personal archives that stand for their communities. This panel regards the classroom as a privileged site of such empowerment—particularly for students from immigrant families—and seeks proposals on how to equip them to become active agents in producing their own interpretations of the cultural and spatial memory they share with their forebears.

Thirty-Fourth International Conference on Learning, Aristotle University of Thessalonki, Thessaloniki, Greece, 7-9 July 2027

Founded in 1989, The Learner Research Network is brought together around a common concern for learning in all its sites, formal and informal, and at all levels, from early childhood, to schools, colleges and universities, and adult, community and workplace education. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.
