The MS Sound Forum invites papers for a guaranteed session at the Modern Language Association’s annual conference in Toronto in January 2026. The session responds in part to the MLA Executive Council’s refusal to allow debate or a vote on Resolution 2025-1, which supported the international “Boycott, Divest, and Sanction” (BDS) Movement for Palestinian rights against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. In light of the Council’s suppression of debate, at MLA 2026, the Sound Forum seeks to provide a space for dialogue and meditation on silencing, censorship, and the role of organizations like the MLA in the face of systemic violence and threats to academic freedom.

We particularly welcome articles focusing on e.g.

Literary Infrastructure and the Precarity of Modernist Writers 

For the 2025 edition of Multiplatform, the Manchester Game Centre teams up with the MMU research group DVRK – Dark Arts Research Kollective – to host a conference exploring the intersections between games and occulture, investigating the transformative potential of games as forms of rituals to explore alternative histories and speculate on radical futures.

This conference titled Gender Mainstreaming – ‘Feminist Foreign Policy’ Approaches in the Context of South Asia is an attempt to explore burgeoning conversations around Feminist Foreign Policy in South Asia with tangential focus on India. The ‘Global North’ has been focusing its attention on foreign policy agendas that are transformative and unique beginning with Sweden taking the initiative in 2014 focusing on rights, representation and resources that impact women. This responsive approach was followed by Canada, France, Luxemburg and Mexico drawing out the ‘Feminist International Assistance’ policy in intersection with focusing on areas namely inclusive governance, security, cross border trade and human rights.

Deadline EXTENDED: Submissions due by March 15, 2025 to invisible.culture@ur.rochester.edu. 

Conference online (via Zoom): 27-28 March 2025

ABOUT CONFERENCE:

CFP: In 2050, according to scientists’ expectations, 17% of world population will be people aged 65 and over. There will be twice as many elderly people as today. In the light of these predictions, it is obvious that we have to change radically our viewpoint on many aspects of life. We have to re-think our attitudes toward cultural, social, political, economic, medical, and many other dimensions of the world’s near future.
