The history of work and labour has long occupied a central place within European social history, offering a key lens through which to examine social relations, hierarchies, forms of power, and economic formations across the longue durée. Rather than approaching work solely as an economic function, historical scholarship has increasingly foregrounded work as a lived social experience –one that has shaped identities, values, and modes of belonging.

Personhood is having a cultural moment. The ambiguous status of agency and rights animates compelling and diverse critical responses: from studies of animals, AI, and fetal protection laws (Kurki and Pietrzykowski, 2017), to Frankenstein as a model for corporate personhood (Atkinson, 2022), to anthropocentric ideas of personhood versus the environment (Rochford, 2024), to studies of  “potential people” including chatbots and embryos (Kalantry 2025).

For the 150th anniversary of Harriet Martineau’s death, the Martineau Society will be hosting its annual conference in conjunction with the University of Cumbria, Ambleside Campus, in Ambleside, England. The Martineau Society conference is an interdisciplinary conference that focuses on the lives, work, and contributions of the Martineau family, including its two most famous and influential members, Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) and James Martineau (1805-1900). Harriet Martineau resided in the Lake District for much of her later years, from 1845 until her death in 1876.

For much of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Italian Americans have occupied an uneasy position within U.S. racial, cultural, and national narratives—simultaneously marked as insiders and outsiders, assimilated and othered, white and not-quite-white. This call for papers invites scholars to revisit and re-theorize Italian American identity through the lens of Otherness, drawing on and expanding the concept of Italianità as articulated by Fred Gardaphé and Anthony Julian Tamburri.

Call For Chapter Proposals – The Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Modernisms

This year’s MCLLM theme invites exploration of how literature, language, and performance illuminate intersecting dimensions of justice. How are inherited forms, genres, and rhetorical strategies reactivated in contemporary struggles for equity?

MCLLM welcomes proposals from a wide range of disciplines and expression forms. The list below provides a sense of the topics the organizers are interested in seeing, but it is not an all-inclusive list. Please submit a proposal that represents your interpretation of our theme!

What roles do ‘hierarchy’ and ‘egality’, as values and practices, play in the everyday lives of South Asian traditions? Hierarchy as a value in the social life of Hinduism has been much discussed. Scholarship has tended to contrast a transhistorical Hindu hierarchy with egalitarian elements of Muslim, Christian, Buddhist and Sikh thought in South Asia, framing ubiquitous caste-like social forms among the latter traditions as anomalous. Yet careful studies of everyday life in the religious traditions of South Asia suggest that a far more heterogeneous set of social imaginaries and a far more complex entanglement of hierarchy and egality are, in fact, shaping the trajectory of both inter-caste and inter-religious relations and practices.

Frank Lloyd Wright began wintering in the Sonoran Desert in the late 1920s, where the region’s extreme climate and tectonic landscape shaped by sun, erosion, and wind profoundly influenced his thinking about architecture. How did Wright respond to the beautiful yet hostile desert environment?
