The Beyond Trauma Conference (June 9, 10, & 11, 2025; Nice, France) aims to gather an international and interdisciplinary group of scholars to share their research (ethnographies, theories, and clinical practice) on post-traumatic states from resistance and resilience to retribution and growth. More specifically, we propose to focus less on trauma and PTSD and more on modes of healing that so often involve the arts for trauma survivors.
Conference: 23-24 January 2025 (online)

The recent development in Digital Humanities marks a transformative era in academia, where the humanities are increasingly integrating with digital technologies, computational methods, and AI, enhancing research, teaching, and creative outputs. This conference explores how DH sees such development and the evolving relationship between humanities and digital technologies. It focuses on topics that reshape humanities scholarship, from data analysis and pedagogy to creative production. This fosters interdisciplinary dialogues and examines innovations and implications in fields traditionally centered around humanistic inquiry.
Papers (20 minutes) and round-tables are invited for a 1-day conference on Friday 11 July 2025 at Wilton's Music Hall, London.

The “Collecting and Collectibles Area” of the Popular Culture Association invites papers on “AI in Collecting” for the National PCA/ACA Conference to be held April 16-19, 2025 in New Orleans, USA. We would especially like to encourage submissions that contribute new directions and calls to the existing scholarship on “AI in Collecting” and particularly address how collections/collectibles and their galleries/museums respond to the recent digital shifts and the tectonic evolution of AI technologies.
Possible topics for presentations include but are not limited to:
Edgar Allan Poe worked for a double audience (the popular and the critical), in double tones and manners (grim and mocking, metaphysical and pseudo-scientific). Whether he strove for alternance or interdependence between the terms “grotesque” and “arabesque” which he used to categorize his own narratives, critics such as G. R. Thompson and Dennis Eddings have argued that the former – more visible in tales such as “King Pest,” “Some Words with a Mummy,” “Lionizing,” and “Loss of Breath” - underscored the carnivalesque, the satirical, and the hoaxical.
After years of financial crisis and politics of austerity, as well as a pandemic that brought ordinary life to a halt, culture today is laden with excess. This excess can take many different shapes and foster diverse readings, some of them positive, focusing on excess as an opportunity, while others reflect on its pernicious effects.
Conference Overview
The International Center for Ethno-Religious Mediation (ICERMediation) is pleased to announce the 10th Annual International Conference on Ethnic and Religious Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding. The 10th conference will explore the crucial role of identity in contemporary conflicts, emphasizing the importance of historical context, collective memory, and transformative learning in understanding and addressing these issues.
Food transcends its role as sustenance, serving as a powerful lens through which to examine identity, memory, and power dynamics. From hunger-driven narratives to the celebratory and symbolic depictions of meals in contemporary cinema and television, food occupies a central place in Hispanic cultural productions. It can represent tradition and identity, critique societal norms, or even subvert power structures.

The Mechademia conference began in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2001, as a new forum for people hoping to establish the English-language academic study of anime and manga while still keeping ties with the creative energy of the fan cultures that these vibrant media were creating. Since then, Mechademia has taken on many forms, including two academic journal series, conferences in various locales and venues around the world, and a widening network of collaboration between academics, fans, and creators, while pursuing the study of anime, manga, and related media as an interconnected trans-local nexus of cultural practice.
