Many faculty and programs across a wide array of university and scholastic settings offer events that center, celebrate, or showcase student writing. These are truly diverse and have a real impact on student growth, learning, and knowledge transfer at all educational levels. Whether a showcase or a celebration, whether for first year writing students or built into grad student professionalization, whether modeled on an art expo or in the style of an academic conference, these opportunities for students to share their work are worth reflecting on and situating amid other pedagogical or writing goals. We ourselves hope to showcase a variety of perspectives on the pitfalls and opportunities such celebrations offer for students, faculty, and programs.

The PAMLA 2025 Conference (its 122th one) will be held at the InterContinental San Francisco in San Francisco, California. The conference runs from Thursday, November 20 until November 23, 2025. 

As part of PAMLA's 2025 theme “Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion,” our special session entitled "Diaspora, Transnationalism, Transculturalism, and the Layered Self" invites scholars from diverse disciplines to consider the palimpsest as a symbolic metaphor for diasporic, transnational, and/or transcultural subjects. In light of troubling nationalisms, what might it mean to be a diasporic, transnational, and/or transcultural subject? What might it also mean to study texts and subjects that defy borders and neat categorizations?

When Emily Dickinson writes that “Hope is the thing with feathers – / That perches in the Soul –” she links the emotion to lyric indomitability. For Czeslaw Milosz hope is “with you when you believe / The earth is not a dream but living flesh,” that is, when dreams surprisingly come true.  

Entanglements: Place-Based Literatures for Ecological Liberation

Monday, March 31, 2025 - 2:26pm
Dr Gayathri Goel
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, May 16, 2025

The constellation of essays in this collection will focus on place-based literary works and address issues around resource extraction and ecological devastation. As the foremost cause of underdevelopment and ecological destruction in the Global South and many parts of North America, resource extraction, its resulting land loss and labor exploitation, is the occasion for this project. One of the aims of this collection is to expand “resource extraction” beyond the primary focus on extraction of fossil fuels, natural gas, and minerals and includes the commodification of any part of nature that results in impoverishment and harm without any consideration for sustainability, renewability, and justice for humans and nonhumans.
