This is a call for chapter proposals on the late Morgan Spurlock's 30 Days reality TV series (2005-08) on the FX Channel for the FX Reader, an anthology of FX's best original TV series, which is under a two-volume book contract with Syracuse University Press.  In each 30 Days episode, Spurlock, or some other person or group of people, would spend 30 days immersing themselves in a particular lifestyle or environment with which they are not familiar, which include such topics as working for minimum wage, being in prison, a Christian living as a Muslim, and others.

The Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (indexed by Web of Science) invites submissions for its 60th issue on "Transforming Humanities Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Human-Computer Interaction". As we approach the completion of the first quarter of the current century, the intervention of digital technologies in the Humanities is all set to transform how we study and understand human culture, history, and society. This technological convergence offers new methodologies and insights that can impact the humanities immensely.

Call for Papers: Hopkins as Classicist 

A Special Issue of The Hopkins Quarterly 

The ‘difficulties’ of the old Greek philosophers, Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote, ‘cannot be pooh-poohed: some perhaps are really resolved, but generally they exist still’.

This special issue of the Hopkins Quarterly seeks to understand the invigorating influence of classical thought on Hopkins’ intellectual life. 

To mark the conclusion of a biennial research carried out by four Italian Universities (Siena, Turin, Florence, and Naples “L’Orientale”), the scientific committee of the PRIN 2022 Project Monsters, Sorcerers, and Witches of Northwestern Europe: The Medieval and Early Modern Construction of Otherness in Literature for Popular Audiences invites abstract submissions for a three-day international conference, to be hosted at the University of Siena on 9-11 July 2025.

In the context of wider postcolonial and decolonial shifts that have occurred in both critical and popular thought over the past decades, we have seen growing interests in recovering and recentering histories of Islamic civilizations and their shaping influence on knowledge, systems,and technologies that we now associate with the modern world. Whether recognized as the powerful authorities that transformed trade, belief, politics, science, and art in the premodernworld, or as the ‘other’ necessary for Western colonial self-fashioning, as per Edward Said’s formative theorization of them in Orientalism, there is no denying that Muslims and Islamicate societies hold a fundamental place in our (global) past.
