The term ‘Global South’ has become a new agency in the changing world today as it has been an evolving space for resistance, innovation and transformation. Although the very emergence of Global South has been often quoted as a reaction to the cultural and political imposition by ‘the dominant force’ that determines and regulates world politics and media discourses in many ways, Global South still seeks to assert its right of self-determination, economic cooperation and continual resistance to neo-colonialism. The countries, communities and societies which are located within the broader spectrum of ‘Global South’ continue to contribute and attempt to shape and alter the public discourse on equity, sustainability and justice.

We are seeking proposals for papers that explore Octavia E. Butler’s oeuvre for a special session at the PAMLA 2025 Conference in San Francisco.
The session format is a seminar: Four to seven participants will share their paper ahead of time and then present a brief (five to seven minute) summary of their paper during the seminar, allowing time for an extended question and discussion period.
All submissions are welcome, but because Butler’s literature evidently lives in the past, present, and future—within the fictional worlds she builds and in our world as her readers—we are particularly interested in papers that engage with her work in relation to the 2025 PAMLA conference theme, “Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion.”

In this special issue of the BFS (British Fantasy Society) Journal we take a hard look at War in Fantasy. Conflict, from skirmishes to mass battles, tavern brawls to planet-wide apocalypses, is a staple of Fantasy: The Battle of the Five Armies in The Hobbit, The Last Battle in Narnia, The War in Heaven by Charles Williams, and Lyra Belacqua’s fight against death and the consciousness-stifling strictures of the Magisterium, are a few examples.

This literature, which has always served as a means of expression and protest in the face of social challenges, has since served as a tool for learning and education.

This panel explores the movement and circulation of texts within multilingual contact zones, spaces that, through cultural exchange, commerce, and conflict, are defined by the presence of multiple languages. Multilingualism is often heralded as a feature of cosmopolitanism, defined against nationalist monolingualism, yet it can also be the product of forces including incipient capitalist mercantilism, imperialist conquest and colonization, and exile.

Tentative title of the book-
“Critical Pedagogy in ELT: Empowering Learners”
Editors- Dr. Asim Kumar Betal
Dr. Kishwar Badakhshan
It is a great pleasure to announce that an edited volume tentatively titled “Critical Pedagogy in ELT: Empowering Learners” by a national publisher of repute is going to be published soon. Critical Pedagogy in ELT has gained significant attention in recent years, emphasizing the need to challenge dominant power structures, promote social justice, and empower learners. This special issue seeks to explore the intersections of critical pedagogy and ELT, highlighting innovative approaches, research, and practices that foster learner empowerment.
In all medical practices, two goals stand out: to cure and to care. In a vernacular context, care is discursive, relational, and mutual, while cure is linear, utilitarian, and quantifiable. In his book Care and Cure: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Medicine, Jacob Stegenga iterates on two sides of the care-cure conundrum: “[...] when an intervention mitigates harm then it provides some care, and when an intervention mitigates abnormal biological functioning
then it goes some way toward cure.”
