Call for Papers – IEEE AI Standard 2025

"Advancing AI Standardization & Quality Assurance"

Exciting News! Submissions are now open for IEEE AI-Standard 2025 - The IEEE Conference on AI Standardization and Quality Assurance. The conference serves as a global platform for AI researchers, industry leaders, policymakers, and technology developers to discuss and shape the future of AI standardization, governance, and quality assurance.

This is a call for a Special Topics Panel to be held at the Modern Language Association Conference in Toronto, January 8-11, 2026.

Agnotology, the study of culturally induced ignorance or doubt, has emerged as a critical lens through which to examine the production, dissemination, and contestation of knowledge within various spheres of human expression. This interdisciplinary panel seeks to investigate the intersections of agnotology with literature, culture, and the arts, and to explore how these fields both reflect and contribute to the construction of ignorance and uncertainty.

We welcome proposals for papers that engage with the following topics (but are not limited to):

“Whatever his personal beliefs, Shakespeare is in the most important sense of the word a religious writer: not a proponent of any particular religion, but a writer who is aware, and makes his spectators aware, of the mystery of things.”

-Stanley Wells, Shakespeare: For All Time 

This is a call for chapter proposals on the late Morgan Spurlock's 30 Days reality TV series (2005-08) on the FX Channel for the FX Reader, an anthology of FX's best original TV series, which is under a two-volume book contract with Syracuse University Press.  In each 30 Days episode, Spurlock, or some other person or group of people, would spend 30 days immersing themselves in a particular lifestyle or environment with which they are not familiar, which include such topics as working for minimum wage, being in prison, a Christian living as a Muslim, and others.

Contemporary African literature is an effective medium through which the continent’s dynamic realities are articulated. From postcolonial identity crises and political disillusionment to gender dynamics, migration, and the impact of globalization, African writers and creatives continue to provide nuanced explorations of the African condition. These narratives do not merely reflect societal issues but also challenge stereotypes, redefine cultural identities, and contribute to global literary discourse. The diversity of voices in African literature—ranging from established authors to emerging voices—offers rich analytical opportunities to understand how literature and arts engage with evolving African realities.

Kente: Cape Coast Journal of Literature and the Arts invites scholars, researchers, and literary critics to contribute to a Special Issue focusing on the representation of climate and environmental issues in African literature. As climate change poses significant challenges worldwide, African communities face unique environmental impacts, including desertification, flooding, and resource conflicts. These experiences are increasingly reflected in African literary works, offering nuanced perspectives on ecological crises, cultural adaptations, and social resilience.
