Scope
If You Rebuild It, They Will Come: Reimagining Higher Ed with Pedagogies of Hope
“Hope is a discipline.” Mariame Kaba We Do This 'Til We Free Us: Abolitionist Organizing and Transforming Justice. (2021)
“We must dare to imagine and to dream. It is precisely in hopeless times that the act of teaching becomes a radical gesture of hope.” Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Hope (1994)
Panel: Technoscience in Literature and Culture (special session)
The 123rd Annual Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA) Conference will be held in person from Nov 12-15 in Seattle, Washington. This interdisciplinary special session invites papers that explore science and technology from social and cultural perspectives. We welcome papers that involve the natural or material sciences (such as biology, ecology, chemistry, physics, medicine, and engineering), engage with time (whether through a particular period or a long arc of development), and/or consider place (at the local or global scales). Such works can include, but are not limited to:
"Let Us Tell An Old Story Anew": Revising / Reinventing / Reimagining Disney
Disney’s Maleficent (2014), a live-action retelling of their animated classic, Sleeping Beauty (1957), begins with a narrator challenging us to re-see the stories we’ve been told before. The entire movie, in fact, revolves around correcting past perceptions, ones that Disney originally shaped and is now choosing to reshape. Maleficent is just one example of a spate of live-action remakes and other ways Disney has reimagined itself in the twenty-first century. Such reimaginings invite research into how and why Disney feels the need to make us see them anew.

Body and Mind:Contemporary Studies on Language and Literature — Volume 10, Maurer Press, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
We invite chapter proposals for Body and Mind, the tenth volume of the Contemporary Studies on Language and Literature series. This peer reviewed academic volume investigates the evolving relationships between corporeality, cognition, identity, and culture—relationships that have become increasingly central to contemporary scholarship in the humanities and social sciences.
This year is the 550th anniversary of William Caxton’s establishment of the first printing press in England in 1476. We invite papers for a two-day conference on Caxton’s career, texts, and contexts. Abstracts of up to 300 words to be sent to shaw.worth@all-souls.ox.ac.uk and jacob.ridley@ell.ox.ac.uk by 10 June 2026.
The World Congress on Logic and Religion (WoCoLoR) series aims to provide a forum where scholars from a wide range of disciplines — including, but not limited to, logic, philosophy, mathematics, computer science, the humanities, psychology, linguistics, and the cognitive sciences — together with theologians from diverse religious traditions, can come together to exchange ideas on the latest developments concerning the relationship between logic and religion, reason and faith, and rational inquiry and divine revelation.
This is a call for papers for an international edited volume tentatively titled ‘Visual Propaganda in an Era of Instability’. Based on distinct case studies explored in a wide range of book chapters, the main objective of the volume is to analyse the role of the image in driving public opinion and perception. The main historical period under investigation is from 2020 onwards: a time that is marked by significant social, cultural, political and ideological tensions. Whilst visual propaganda is not a new phenomenon, and contributors are very welcome to reference historical precedents, the main focus of the volume will be on the growing impact of visual propaganda since 2020.

In March 1827, just over fifty years after the United States Declaration of Independence, Freedom’s Journal, the first Black newspaper in North America, declared: “We wish to plead our own cause. Too long have others spoken for us.”
In March 2027, we mark the bicentennial of the Black Press, celebrating 200 years of Black journalism as one of the most vital and enduring institutions in American public life.

The Cultures of Philosophy team at the University of Exeter invites proposals for the online workshop Teaching Early Modern Women’s Writing Between Literature and Philosophy: Pedagogy and Practice. The aim of this workshop is to share case studies and best practice regarding the teaching of early modern women’s philosophical writing in HE, across languages, disciplines and national settings. We intend to bring together teachers and researchers in HE with members of subject organisations to reflect on what’s working and what could be changed to improve the visibility of and engagement with early modern women’s philosophical writing, broadly conceived.
The Intimacies of Kith seeks to bring together scholars who are also practitioners of poetry from Asian North American and Southeast Asian communities. Our goal is to create a shared space for poet-scholars to engage one another directly, creating opportunities for sustained dialogue across geographic and disciplinary boundaries.

The "White World," as defined by Walter Rodney, determines who is white and who is black. To this, we add that the White World also dictates which women are enslaved and which may be free. It is difficult to envision the possibility of women’s liberation in the Global South without the complete dismantling of colonialism and Western imperialism. While women in many post-colonial patriarchal nations are exploited in myriad ways, it is a mistake to imagine that this exploitation—and the patriarchal mentality of the post-colonial world—is not profoundly shaped by Western influence. Many African and South American nations continue to funnel their resources to the West while their own populations suffer from hunger.
We are pleased to announce an open call for bids to host the 2027 Post45 Graduate Symposium. The Post45 Graduate Symposium is a two-day event, typically held in Spring, which brings together graduate students and faculty members working on post-1945 arts, literature, media, and culture. Around fifteen graduate students each submit a work-in-progress and convene in a workshop-style setting along with faculty respondents to discuss each participant's work.
In the past two decades, scholars of environmental literature have begun expanding the Euro-American canons and contexts that have long dominated ecocriticism and publication, teaching, and reading practices in the West. The perspectives on humans’ relationship with the nonhuman world that emerge from alternate global sites often complicate and even challenge the values and priorities of Western environmental scholarship and activism.
The Politics of Light in Neo-Victorian Fictions - Call for Contributions
The Victorian period saw the introduction of a multiplicity of overlapping technologies and cultural practices of lighting, which radically transformed labour and the medical sciences, reinvented the night and connected ideas of leisure and security, refashioned the domestic interior as well as the perception of public appearance, and greatly impacted architecture and urban planning, policing, warfare and, not least, philosophy and the arts.
This interdisciplinary seminar/workshop will bring researchers, academicians, professionals, and students to explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence in sustainable agriculture, environmental resilience, ecological humanities, and contemporary education.

PAMLA Panel Proposal, November 2026: Mourning as Social Protest, Andrea Fishman, Presiding Officer
Abstracts are invited for a traditional panel session to be held at the annual meeting of the South Atlantic Modern Language Association, scheduled for 5-7 November 2026 at the Wyndham Atlanta Buckhead Hotel and Conference Center, Atlanta, GA, USA.
This session intends to explore the theme of “hospitality” in the works of Joseph Conrad in order to highlight how Conrad’s relationships both reflected and influenced his literary output throughout his career. Some relationships were more enduring than others, but all had an impact, often a profound impact, on his life and writing.
The Comparative Literature session, like its namesake discipline, strives to be broad, inclusive, and interdisciplinary. We therefore welcome proposals that touch on multiple works of literature and strive to make use of more than traditional comparative studies, borrowing analytic or interpretive practices from other disciplines such as philosophy, film and media studies, digital humanities, cultural or art history.
Proposals that engage with the conference theme, “Our Ruling Classes: Culture, Power, Conflict,” are welcome but not required. The panel welcomes clear, thoughtful, and well-researched proposals in Comparative Literature that demonstrate engagement with relevant scholarship.
Background & Rationale:
The GPA is accepting submissions for its 2026-2027 volume of The Journal of the Georgia Philological Association. Papers focused on literature, language, composition, history, philosophy, translation, the general humanities, interdisciplinary studies, and pedagogy will be considered.
Please send submissions to Editor-in-Chief, at jgpasubmissions@gmail.com by Sept. 30, 2026.

Displaced Dialogues: Performance and Identity in Dalit and Tribal South Asian Diaspora
Introduction
Concept Note:
Storytelling, from the metamorphic narratives of the Indian epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana and Ovid’s ancient transmutations to the evolving interfaces of the present, has been an act of survival through transformation. Metamorphosis is the underlying imperative of the twenty-first century; it is not just a biological inevitability but a relentless ontological pulse beating beneath the surface of our global narratives. We inhabit a world amid a grand moulting, where the traditional mediums of storytelling, like the printed page, the physical body, and the ancestral soil, are being reshaped under the pressures of a planetary crisis.
