On the 100th anniversary of Alain Locke's New Negro anthology, this panel seeks presenters eager to discuss what they see as new trends in New Negro research.  Possibilities include the New Negro in international, regional, or local contexts; the New Negro in newspapers, magazines, college yearbooks and other digitized sources; the New Negro on the move, re-envisioned to meet the needs of different socio-political groups; the New Negro in literature (especially in literature relatively new to the canon); the New Negro is conjunction with other "New" movements:  the New Woman, New Psychology, New Thought, and the New American.

LANGUAGE, LITERATURE, AND EMPATHY

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.
