To do so, it will feature theoretically rich work from decolonial, queer, trans, and crip-futurism(s) and their intersections.

We now seek proposals for papers, panels, roundtables, and creative sessions that will run across the event’s four days.
Rethinking Race, Nation and Empire: Charles Dickens, Slavery, and the American Civil War considers how the writings of Charles Dickens are shaped by—and contribute to—Victorian discourses of race, nation, and empire in the middle of the nineteenth century. The “discursive roots of modern racism lie in British, European, and colonial writings,” writes Patrick Brantlinger. But often unacknowledged is the “extent to which racism informed virtually all aspects of Romantic and Victorian culture” (Taming Cannibals 6-7).
The Curran Fellowships are travel and research grants intended to aid scholars studying British magazines and newspapers from the long nineteenth century in making use of primary print and archival sources. Made possible through the generosity of the late Eileen Curran, Professor Emerita of English, Colby College, and inspired by her pioneering research on Victorian periodicals, the Fellowships are awarded annually.
This conference aims to examine the question of figurative art at the beginning of the 21st century. Nowadays, figurative artistic models are challenged by increasingly sophisticated technologies that reshape our definition of “the real,” and more particularly, of reality. AI-generated images tend to normalize manipulated and distorted representations of the world we live in and can sometimes become indistinguishable from real images (“deepfakes”).

The South Central Society for Eighteenth Century Studies invites you to present papers and organize conference panels on being lost and found in the long eighteenth century. Whether one is lost at sea or lost in thought, finding one's bearings can bring about new insights and inspirations. Discovering the answers to the mysteries of existence has led to whole new understandings of the world around and within us -- and whole new speculations about the unseen and unknown. We look forward to hearing your guiding perspectives.

Critical hegemony tracing the start of the Second Golden Age of Television to the release of HBO’s The Sopranos in 1999 means that several properties released before that time have flown under the academic radar. Oz (1997-2003), the first serial drama ever produced by HBO, contains all the tightly plotted storytelling and enhanced aesthetics Alexis Pichard defines as key features of Golden Age television, and achieved the required level of popular success with both audiences and critics.
