Mind the Gap 2022: An Interdisciplinary PG-focused Virtual Conference on LGBTQIA+ Research and Community is a free two-day postgraduate conference hosted online by a group of PG students at King’s College London to take place on the 30th and 31st of July 2022. Our aim is to address and explore ways to access the gaps between academic research and everyday LGBTQIA+ realities. With this interdisciplinary conference we want to provide a space to enable the building of bridges between what is written in theory and what is experienced in practice. To facilitate this endeavour, we will invite LGBTQIA+ speakers, community experts, creatives, and activists to complement the PG talks. We will explore a number of questions relevant to LGBTQIA+ lives.

Matters of Life: Human Scapes and Scopes

Whatever is my right as a man is also the right of another; and it becomes my duty to guarantee as well as to possess.

-Thomas Paine, Rights of Man

Multiple environmental crises are increasingly inescapable at both transnational and local levels and the role of the humanities in addition to technology and politics is more and more recognized as central for exploring and finding solutions. Representations of nature’s agency have become central to many studies conducted in literature, culture studies, philosophy, history, sociology or political science. This conference aims to explore the relationship between the physical environment and text in its broader meaning as well as analyse the social concerns raised by environmental crises.

Conference panels will be related, but not limited, to:

Poetry is a constant, being produced by all known civilisations from ancient to modern times. Throughout its extensive history, the individual art of high emotions sublimated into perfect language has approached a vast array of subject matters, including love, war, social issues, the beauty of nature, etc. A particular exercise of the mind and soul, and a unique way of apprehending reality, poetry is a self-sufficient universe that intensifies and enlarges life experience. Pointing to inner knowledge rather than real circumstance, it activates different layers of perception, sweeps away human thoughts, feeds emotions and soothes suffering.

• Deadline for proposals: 30 June 2022

Audiovisual content has expanded into new ways of production, distribution, and screening enabled by the evolution of technology and the advent of new media. Apart from giving new life to older audiovisual works by making them accessible to the wide public through an alternative way of consumption, streaming platforms are producing original content that is meant to be consumed exclusively via online means.

Call for Papers: Beyond Borders : Youth, Politics and New Solidarities in Post-Covid South Asia

Editor: Prateek Srivastava, University of Cincinnati

This traditional session welcomes submission on any aspect of African American Literature that attends to how black writers use literature to bring out discussion on climate injustice. With the conference theme of "change," readers of African American Literature often miss the criticism of climatic injustice that is present in much literary work, especially of 20th Century Black writers. From Zora Hurston, to Richard Wright, to Jean Toomer, etc., there are many instances of a critique of climatic injustices that are often either misread or simply glossed over. This panel aims to reconsider black writers as the leading figures in both ecocriticism and ecofeminism.

PRESENTATION OF THE JOURNAL

Culture and Theory in Reactionary Times

Since the emergence of Asian American Studies as an intellectual field of studies almost 60 years ago, the field of Asian / Asian American Studies has not only evolved as a whole but has also had to endure ongoing changes and readaptations. Now, perhaps more than ever, the field of Asian / Asian American Studies calls for new changes or perhaps even a new vision, to help us cope with the many living realities and meanings—whether racially, culturally, historically, or politically, just to name a few—on which we stand.
