NEMLA 2025------PHILADELPHIA, PA------MARCH 6-9, 2025

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

Continuing last year’s conversation, this panel proposes to focus on representations of food in Italian and Italian American Cinema, Literature and Media. Taking this year’s theme, (R)evolution, into consideration it seems only fitting to discuss food. The idea of food or food-ways as the subject of evolution or revolution leads us to consider the transformation of culinary history, identity, production, and consumption within or between the Italian and Italian-American (or Italo-Australian, Italo-Canadian, Italo-British, Italo-Hispanic) contexts.

Deadline: September 13, 2024

Conference Date: October 5, 2024

Format: Online (via Zoom, PST)

Abstract: 200 words + short biographical statement + timezone

This panel seeks papers for the Association for the Study of the Worldwide African Diaspora’s (ASWAD) 12th Biennial and 25th Anniversary Conference that will be held in Saint Louis, Missouri at the Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel from October 29th thru November 2, 2025. This year’s conference “I’ve known rivers”: The Ecologies of Black Life and Resistance” centers “the river, and waterways, as an analytical framework for Black lives past and present.” Water “serves as a prompt for urgent questions about landscapes and ecologies as well as diasporic ruptures, spiritual practices, labors of many kinds, fugitivity and resistance” (ASWAD CFP). 

Note: Springer has shown interest in publishing this book.  We are short of just 1 Chapter in each Category

What do ‘caring’ and ‘taking care of’ mean? To what extent are ‘caring’ and ‘taking care of’ similar or different from a theoretical and practical point of view? In which contexts are they situated and to what extent do they depend on other contexts? In this conference, we will consider questions about ‘caring’ and ‘taking caring of’ – possibly connecting or differentiating them – in a broad sense, by opening a dialogue about their definitions in different disciplines and subjects, on their roles in various contexts with both humans and non-human actors, and on the way in which ‘caring’ and ‘taking caring of’ establish relationships with other features that define existence, the ordinary and the extraordinary facts of living.

“Whose global village?” asks Ramesh Srinivasan of the inequalities characteristic of “ubiquitous” computing in his eponymous 2017 book. The scholar reconstitutes Marshall McLuhan’s famed notion of a global village forged by telecommunications media in the shadow of the digital divide. Srinivasan’s question of how peoples othered by an infrastructure built for wealthy Western consumers might otherwise forge techno-community is only more urgent in the wake of a global pandemic; communications blackouts; and heavy reliance on conflict minerals. Yet, it is a question that artists have sought to answer since at least the mid-20th century.

The first International Conference on Globalisation in Languages, Education, Culture and Communication (GLECC2025) is going to be held 30-31 July, 2025, Manchester, UK. (https://glecc.org/2025/)

The past two decades have witnessed remarkable advancements in the studies into Education, Second and Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Cultural Studies, and Communication. This growth, evident in both the number of active researchers and the volume of scholarly throughput and outcomes, can be largely attributed to the forces of globalisation. Consequently, adopting the globalisation perspective is timely and provides a natural framework for connecting these diverse yet interlinked disciplines.

CALLING ALL POP-CULTURE SCHOLARS!!!! 

I'm one half of the pop-culture podcast The Nostalgia Test Podcast. We are a comedy podcast that revists pop-culture from our childhood to see if it's still good, just nostalgic, or terrible! 

We have a series we do called Nostalgia 101 where we have professionals, industry people, directors, innovators, and scholars come on to teach us about a specific pop-culture topic. 

We recently decided we would LOVE to have on one or more (a small panel of scholars, like up to 3 would be cool) scholars to come on and teach us/talk about the 90s revival of swing dance and swing music. 

We usually record for about an hour, though we love to let the conversation build if it's going well. 

This panel, organized by Chisu Teresa Ko (Ursinus College) and Danielle Roper (University of Chicago), invites papers that further the study and theorization of blackface and racial impersonation in Latin America and the Caribbean across various historical periods, genres and forms. As both a racial archive and racial project, blackface performance is the instrument through which people make sense of changes around them— advancements and reversals in racial equality, demographic and political shifts, and (re-) imaginations of national identity.
