The notion of “wellness” as it pertains to university contexts has taken on a problematic valence over the years. Owing to the increasing neoliberalization of academia, wellness has been increasingly tied to pop psychology, self-care spending, pizza parties, and other “self-actualizing” capitalistic practices. By virtue of the precarious nature of their status and labour, graduate students in the university are especially susceptible to experiences of overwork, exploitation, burnout, poor well-being, and existential harm, with studies showing that nearly 40% of graduate students globally experienced symptoms of anxiety, depression, or suicide ideation.

Dear colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit your creative work and scholarly reflections and papers to participate in the panel Media and Aesthetics of Environmental Decay in the “Global South"  to be held at NEMLA's Conference in Pittsburgh, PA. 

This roundtable hopes to bring together faculty and administrators with a vision to invigorate humanities programs. Its goal is twofold: (1) to provide a platform for sharing innovative strategies to enhance collaboration across traditional academic units; and (2) to critically discuss efforts that have led to new successes in (re)generating full-time faculty satisfaction in teaching, research, and service. Such efforts may include valued practices in co-teaching, faculty residency programs, Interdisciplinary Studies programs, joint appointments, and visiting professorships.

This session is organized withing the 2025 NeMLA Annual Conference in Pittsburg. Virtual participation is accepted. The panel investigates literature and the Medical Humanities, focusing on the potential of storytelling and narrative medicine to navigate trauma and improve empathy and communication between patients and health care providers. We seek contributions from scholars pertaining to various disciplines who works at the intersection of literature and medicine. Papers will explore how literature and life writing can successfully address traumatic events and improve medical practice.

Call for Chapters: Edited Volume on Enacting Curtailment: Practices of Censorship in Colonial India. 

We are excited to announce the forthcoming publication of an edited volume titled Enacting Curtailment: Practices of Censorship in Colonial India. This interdisciplinary volume will explore themes of censorship, resistance in the literature, art, performance, film, sound, history, and related fields within the humanities and social sciences.

This panel explores the volatile and seductive intersections of queerness, horror, and psychosexual cinema. Taking inspiration from the defiant slogan “Not gay as in happy, but queer as in fuck you,” we frame queerness not as static identity, but as a generative force of disruption, resistance, and cinematic disobedience.

This seminar seeks to reimagine Trans Studies through the lens of a prefixial turn, where trans signifies a movement across, as well as a digression away from an unchosen starting point. Presenters are urged to negotiate the limits such given points of departure pose to our horizons of thought and emotion.
