The Board of Board Game Academics (BGA) is pleased to announce our call for papers for the 2025 journal. BGA is dedicated to the exploration of critical issues within the distinct yet overlapping communities of tabletop board and role-playing games.
While these communities are expanding, players, creators, and scholars of tabletop board and role-playing games have traditionally been late to addressing and including diverse representations and perspectives.
For instance, production companies such as Wizards of the Coast (best known for Dungeons & Dragons) have been criticized for their continued celebration of oppressive ideological perspectives, systems, and governments.

The Victorian era (1837–1901) was a period marked by industrial revolution, scattered religious beliefs and technological advancements. In the midst of everything, the ocean played a central role in shaping the cultural, economic, and ecological landscapes of the time. The British Empire’s reliance on maritime trade routes and naval power made the ocean a key site of economic and political activity. The expansion of global trade, driven by steamships and colonial ventures, brought the ocean into the everyday lives of Victorians.

Decolonizing the Mind: A Journey through
Scholars and students are invited to engage in a series of thought-provoking dialogues that examine the process of decolonizing the mind. This series aims to critically explore and challenge the pervasive influences of colonialism on knowledge, culture, and society. Through interactive discussions, we will delve into the complexities of colonial and postcolonial studies, the significance of decolonial theories, and engage directly with a remarkable author in the field.
Since the release of Jordan Peele’s landmark 2017 film Get Out, Black horror has been catapulted to the fore of the American cultural imagination. From Lovecraft Country to Antebellum to adaptations of Candyman and Interview With the Vampire, contemporary depictions of the Black horrific continue to revise and reorient the horror genre. Black horror distinguishes itself by turning the horror genre away from white anxieties about an ominous and ephemeral Other and towards an examination of the horrifying qualities of everyday Black Life.
Truth in Crisis: Literary and Linguistic Representations of Post-Truth Phenomena
26th-27th June 2025, Rzeszów, Poland
This call for papers seeks contributions examining the relationship between narratives and ecological issues, focusing on the ways storytelling addresses ecological challenges. Narratives – whether literary, cinematic, or multimodal – have the potential to critique environmental exploitation, envision sustainable futures, and explore human and non-human interconnections. The intersection of ecocriticism and storytelling offers fertile ground for discussions about the role of culture in shaping ecological consciousness and practices.

Victorian Studies: Who Cares?
Martineau Society Conference 2025 in Tynemouth, England 06/22/2025-06/25/2025; deadline 04/30/2025
Dear colleagues,
Thanks to the generous support of Wallace Johnson and the Medieval Institute at Western Michigan University, I am delighted to announce the Call for Proposals for the sixth year of the Wallace Johnson First Book Mentoring Program. The program provides support and mentorship to early career scholars working towards the publication of their first book on the law and legal culture of the early Middle Ages. In conversation with peers and with the advice of senior scholars, participants will develop and revise book proposals and sample chapters, and they will meet with guest editors to learn about approaching and working with publishers.
Politics and Leadership, Leadership Studies and Politics
Politics and leadership: two subjects that are commonly known, yet also deeply misunderstood. Politics is not merely the activities of official decision-makers and the ideas (and people) that give rise to them, but also, more broadly, how human groups determine who gets what (and under what circumstances—by consent or coercion). What if leadership is not entirely a person or position? Perhaps, leadership is a negotiation— a complex moral relationship between people that is predicated on role agreement. We might say, then, that leadership is a dynamic process that cannot be separated from the politics of human groups. Leadership, in this way, is very fundamentally political.
Returning to Form: Genre, Style, and Structure in Literary Studies
The Annual Undergraduate English Literature Conference at Seton Hall University

Keynote Address by Anna Kornbluh (University of Illinois Chicago)
Calling all authors: The Texas Woman's University book series is an interdisciplinary book series that explores innovative knowledge, creativity, and discoveries shaped by women and women's experiences in fields such as the arts, sciences, spirituality, religion, politics, business, education, the military, health sciences, and community services.
In 2019, Ghana hosted the Year of Return, emphasizing roots tourism, diaspora resettlement and reunification, as well as development. Similarly, there is a growing message of diasporic return in Benin, as in other West African countries, articulated through various initiatives, policies, and cultural movements. We are interested in a feminist analyses of returns and encounters between the Black diaspora and those on the continent.
The Modernist Long Poem: Looking Back from the 21st Century
Saturday 25 October 2025
Northeastern University, London
Just over a century after the publication of T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land (1922), the modernist long poem continues to be the focus of critical response and varied definitions. Recent work on the genre in its historical context by Oliver Tearle (2019), Sean Pryor (2021) and others, as well as a recent conference (Paris, 2024) on the topic, indicates fresh attention to the modernist long poem, on which we aim to build at this event.
