This area focuses on reproductive justice issues as they appear in popular culture (film, television, social media, music, literature, etc.). Reproductive justice is a term that goes beyond the term reproductive rights, something that typically focuses on contraception and abortion.   According to the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, “it’s ‘the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities” (Abrams).

We invite papers and panels from all disciplines and across all frameworks that engage with the historical, contemporary, and future of networking Asia. This includes papers and panels that reflect on relational complexity and plurality and how the global Asias and trans-Asia approaches to Asian studies are bridging area studies and ethnic studies, and those that explore how best to foster science-informed and diversity-enhancing collective action that equitably addresses issues of global concern like data governance and climate change.

    In the Anthropocene, the pace of human development outpaces that of natural evolution, disrupting ecological balance

and transforming humans from a biological existence into a potent geological force. The superiority of humans often leads to

simplifying and exploiting other forms of natural entities as mere resources, neglecting long-term impacts on our planet. This

mindset further creates a divide between humans and non-humans. However, the advancements in science and technology have

blurred the line between nature and culture. Nature is no longer an external backdrop but deeply intertwined with human

While we received a high volume of truly exciting submissions for the conference Irresistible Decay: Discourses of Death in Life from the 18th Century to Today, we are extending the deadline to further the interdisciplinarity of the event!

Edgar Allan Poe worked for a double audience (the popular and the critical), in double tones and manners (grim and mocking, metaphysical and pseudo-scientific). Whether he strove for alternance or interdependence between the terms “grotesque” and “arabesque” which he used to categorize his own narratives, critics such as G. R. Thompson and Dennis Eddings have argued that the former – more visible in tales such as “King Pest,” “Some Words with a Mummy,” “Lionizing,” and “Loss of Breath” -  underscored the carnivalesque, the satirical, and the hoaxical.
