Latinx Marxisms: Revolutionary Nationalism, Socialism and Communism in Latina/o/x History, Politics & Culture Editors Jaime Acosta Gonzalez, Ben Valdez Olguín, Jennifer Ponce de León This anthology seeks proposals for original scholarly essays, as well as testimonials, oral histories, and interviews, in addition to historical photos and images, that explore the long and complex legacies of Marxism and revolutionary praxis in U.S. Latinx history, politics, and culture.

The University of Southern Mississippi’s English Graduate Organization (EGO) invites abstracts and proposals from Mississippi and Gulf States graduate students for its annual spring conference, a two-day, in-person event on April 4th and 5th at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, MS. 

The body functions as an active agent in generating knowledge, memory, and stories. This year's conference places the relationship between memory and the body at its core, emphasizing how the latter serves as a site of cultural, political, and historical negotiation. The body exerts significant influence on the creation and retrieval of memory, compelling us to critically examine the individual and collective memories produced and transmitted through the embodied experiences of culture, politics, trauma, and (post)nation.

The Jonathan Bayliss Society invites proposals for a roundtable on American experimental fiction. Beginning at least as early as Moby-Dick, American experimental fiction flourishes in the work of Stein, Burroughs, Pynchon, Gass, and Bayliss, and continues today with such writers as Giannina Braschi, Karen Russell, Colson Whitehead, Lance Olsen, and Mark Danielewski. Such writers disrupt conventions of genre, style, syntax, diction, propriety, narrative form, page layout, and much more. We are interested in papers devoted to particular works or authors as well as more wide-ranging or theoretical approaches to the topic.

Call for Articles: Volume 14, Issue 2 (2025)

The editors of Impact: The Journal of the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching & Learning are pleased to announce an open call for articles for a forthcoming issue.

Impact is a peer-reviewed biannual online journal devoted to interdisciplinary teaching, learning, and scholarship.

The editors especially value pieces that demonstrate the need for interdisciplinary solutions to twenty-first-century problems. Articles of interest will engage the advantages, challenges, and modes of interdisciplinary work.
