CFP: Law, Culture, and Humanities 26th Annual Conference, University of British Columbia, May 17-18, 2024

Senses of Law

Law is heard, seen, experienced, felt, and understood in many ways. This year’s theme invites submissions on legal senses, sensibilities, and sensations. What satisfies “the sense of justice”? What makes for a legal sensation? How does law depend on, appeal to, or defy common sense(s)? What are the different sensibilities that law creates, cultivates, challenges, and ignores? How do the meanings that law takes for granted, or brings into being, fall differently on different ears?

Sex, Scandal, and Sensation

In 2014 Falmouth University hosted the hugely successful Haunted Landscapes conference, which was followed in 2023 by Haunted Landscapes: Nature, Super-Nature, and Global Environments. Sex, Scandal, and Sensation is the third conference in this series. It will, like its predecessors, be held in beautiful Cornwall on the Falmouth Campus amidst lush tropical gardens, only a short walk from the picturesque town and its beaches.

Open Section

 At the end of autumn 2024, the e-journal CLOSURE once again offers a forum for all facets of comic research. From cultural, visual and media studies to social or natural sciences and beyond: issue eleven of CLOSURE will publish essays and reviews that deal with the ›state of the comic‹. Whether detailed analysis, comic theory or innovative new approaches – our open section welcomes a diverse range of interdisciplinary studies of all things ›comics‹.

The University of Maryland’s Graduate English Organization invites proposals relating to the theme of “Displacement” for our 17th annual conference, to be held hybrid/in-person on March 8th, 2024.

Displacement can refer to the forced migration and movements of peoples across the globe over centuries. From slavery to the internal displacement of peoples and the contemporary refugee crisis, the term allows us to connect the literary with the cultural and the political in myriad ways.
