Rachel L. Carazo
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, June 15, 2025

This call for papers seeks one specific chapter on Medusa for a volume intended for the series, Villains and Creatures.

Each chapter of the volume is intended to be an overview of depictions of Medusa in specific kinds of media; nevertheless, the arguments/theses of each chapter should still be original, using past works and research to develop a current (new) perspective on Medusa.

The chapter needed involves Modern Drama.

Chapters will be due in October 2025. Chapters should be approximately 5,000 to 6,500 words, with Chicago-style endnotes and a bibliography page.

(CFP: PAMLA 2025) Haunted Belonging: Memory, Erasure, and Identity in Diasporic Literatures

Friday, May 23, 2025

This session explores how postcolonial and diasporic literatures grapple with memory, trauma, and cultural haunting. Rather than thinking of identity as fixed or linear, selfhood is complex and palimpsestic due to colonial violence, migration, and historical erasure. This session invites papers that analyze how characters or narratives navigate misremembering, inherited trauma, or overwritten histories to reclaim belonging and agency. Topics may include narrative voice, transgenerational memory, silence, storytelling, and archival gaps in multiethnic and immigrant literatures. This session welcomes interdisciplinary approaches and encourages work on Asian American, Black, Indigenous, and other diasporic communities.

Politics and Leadership, Leadership Studies and Politics

Politics and leadership: two subjects that are commonly known, yet also deeply misunderstood. Politics is not merely the activities of official decision-makers and the ideas (and people) that give rise to them, but also, more broadly, how human groups determine who gets what (and under what circumstances—by consent or coercion). What if leadership is not entirely a person or position? Perhaps, leadership is a negotiation— a complex moral relationship between people that is predicated on role agreement. We might say, then, that leadership is a dynamic process that cannot be separated from the politics of human groups. Leadership, in this way, is very fundamentally political.
