What is Climate Adaptation and the Oxford Intersections?

Climate Adaptation is one of several recently announced Oxford Intersections from Oxford University Press. Each Oxford Intersection is an edited resource that deals with an urgent, cross-disciplinary theme (others include AI in Society, Borders, and Gender Justice). Each Intersection contains several sections.

I encourage you to invite friends/colleagues outside of the Appalachian region, too.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Making Futures Flash. Hacer refulgir el futuro.
Artes, medios y tecnologías de las digitopías a las contranarrativas.
Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Departamento de Historia del Arte, 17 de junio 2026

[English version below]

"Se está creando una sutil oscilación entre la predicción y el control, en la que las descripciones acertadas o poderosas del futuro tienen una capacidad cada vez mayor para atraernos hacia ellas, para forzarnos a hacerlas refulgir"
-Kodwo Eshun, “Further Considerations on Afrofuturism” 2003

98 Annual South Atlantic Modern Language Association Conference ~ Atlanta, Georgia ~ November 5-7, 2026 

This panel invites papers that examine how literary and cultural texts represent and imagine the dynamics of hospitality, with particular attention to questions of inclusion, belonging, and access for LGBT individuals, as well as in real-world institutions and spaces. Acts of welcome in homes, nations, classrooms, or communities often involve negotiating boundaries: who is invited in, how that welcome is extended, and what it means to belong. How do literary and cultural works depict LGBT figures moving within, across, or outside these spaces?

Die Erstausstrahlung von Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1997 auf The WB Television Network jährt sich im kommenden Jahr zum dreißigsten Mal. Die Serie hat die Populär- und Medienkultur der Jahrtausend-wende maßgeblich mitgeprägt und ist zugleich als Referenztext weit über diesen historischen Moment hinaus wirksam geblieben. Ihre anhaltende Relevanz beruht nicht zuletzt auf der ästhetischen und narrativen Verfasstheit: Genre-Hybridität, Intertextualität, ironisch-selbstreflexive Erzählverfahren sowie eine ausgeprägte figurale und narrative Komplexität machen sie noch heute zu einem beliebten Gegenstand kultur- und medienwissenschaftlicher Auseinandersetzung.
