Call for Papers for Edited Volume on Periodization
Periodization, the act of chunking up time to make units of study, is a fraught practice undertaken by scholars, educators, media professionals, and everyday people. Although largely arbitrary, the ending and beginning dates of a period do much to influence how people outside of the historical profession think about topics such as progression, regression, and the present’s current location in a larger human narrative.

Untangling Bioethical Dilemmas: Narrative Ethics and Bodily Rights
In the recent past, the study of ethics has diversified into emerging branches with interdisciplinary areas of studies. While such studies require specialization in different disciplines, they also demand application of theoretical and empirical knowledge. In a quest to broaden the understanding of ethics to its sub- field of bioethics, this book proposal seeks to collate works that center on narrative ethics within the discourse of bioethics.
Eco-environmental criticism has now become a staple presence in the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary landscape, calling for ongoing reflections on the human impact on the environment. A distinct aspect of these conversations has been the growing focus on the concern of ecological destruction for the planet, with all the inevitable consequences that this entails. Within changing contexts that feel increasingly more precarious, conceptualisations of the ‘eco-futures’ have become central to our cultural discourses, from film to television series, from literature to comics, from animation and video games to digital narratives and design, from socio-ecology to animal studies.

Louisville Conference on Literature and Culture after 1900

Frontier Mythology and Poverty, 1885 to 1923: Reading the Dark Side of the Progressive Era explores the complex relationship between the rise of frontier mythology and the acceptance of social inequality in America. This interdisciplinary collection under considertion by Vernon Press explores how western mythology, spread through popular media, may have eclipsed late 19th-century movements for equity, such as the Knights of Labor's efforts to promote racial and gender equality, alongside workers' rights.
