We are pleased to announce the following Call for Papers for the International Conference “Translating Latin in the Contemporary World”, to be held in June, 11-12, 2026, at the University of Bologna (Italy).

The second International Conference on Globalisation in Languages, Education, Culture and Communication (GLECC2026) is going to be held 28-30 July 2026, Manchester, UK. (https://glecc.org/2026/)

 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.

This issue aims to publish essays on climate fiction and its related topics that are approached through the lens of Christian theological and literary interpretation.

Minor Threads

“There are threads shorter and less tense, and I am far from implying that the minor, the coarser and less fruitful forms and degrees of moral reaction, as we may conveniently call it, may not yield lively results.”

Henry James. The Prefaces 

The International T. S. Eliot Society’s hosting a two-day, virtual symposium open to all members free of charge (registration is required, please see information below). Rather than a traditional conference featuring several panels of 20-minute scholarly presentations, this symposium will consist of two ninety-minute sessions (one each day) that will emphasize discovery and conversation while promoting work in progress and community. The first session, on Thursday, March 5 (at 10 a.m. EST), will feature 5-minute presentations and discussion about newly published primary materials; the second session, on Friday, March 6 (at 10 a.m. EST), will provide an opportunity for participants to get feedback on works in progress.

Williams and Little Magazines

In his Autobiography William Carlos Williams describes little magazines as having “saved [his] life as a writer” (135). Poetry and other small magazines (including The Dial, Others, and The Little Review) were vital in growing Williams’s audience and in hosting and shaping the conversation around his modernist poetics. In 1920, Williams even joined artists Marsden Hartley, Lola Ridge, and Robert McAlmon in founding their own, Contact.

We invite papers on Williams, print culture, and the little magazines. Possible subjects include:

God Rest Ye Scary Gentlemen: The Jolly Misanthrope and Victorian Christmas.  Learn about the happiest time of the year, and the old men who love nothing better than to shit all over it. From Scrooge to Sherlock Holmes, what’s with confirmed bachelors and Christmas? An irreverent and illuminating romp through 19th Century Victorian Christmas, its origins in older traditions, Oliver Cromwell, how it became an institution worldwide, and how one cantankerous old man really ties the whole thing together!  This lecture will be a rollicking and intellectual hour and thirty minutes WITH a ten minute bathroom break.  Bring your humbugs, we’ll be breaking out the turkey dinners and coals! Ninety minutes of holiday cheer. 

Copyright and Intellectual Property Area

As our day-to-day lives depend increasingly on creating “content,” the often misunderstood rules of copyright and intellectual property have an important effect on us. The Copyright and Intellectual Property area seeks to foster an interdisciplinary discussion about the tumultuous cultural battle raging over how we understand the production and distribution of knowledge.

We are pleased to invite proposals for new themed issues of Film Journal, the open-access, peer-reviewed academic journal founded by SERCIA (Société d’études et de recherches sur le cinéma anglophone / Society for Study and Research in Anglophone Cinema). Established in France in 1993, SERCIA promotes the study and teaching of English-speaking cinema worldwide.
Each issue of Film Journal is devoted to a particular theme, and we welcome proposals that explore diverse aspects of film and screen studies. The journal encourages contributions that offer fresh perspectives on film history, theory, narrative, and aesthetics, and that engage critically with a wide variety of cinematic forms, genres, and traditions.
