PAMLA 2025: Anger and Frustration in Contemporary American Women's Fiction [Deadline Extended]

updated: 
Thursday, May 1, 2025 - 4:51pm
Pacific Modern Language Association
deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, May 15, 2025

Many mainstream media outlets have observed an uptick in the mainstream popularity of American women's fiction that center on rage-filled female characters or that express anger at contemporary society. The complicated aftermath of second-wave feminism has in some ways enabled women to speak more frankly about their bodies, desires, and experiences, but these forms of sexual and social liberation of the past several decades have led to a strong backlash against reproductive freedom and a resurgent public-sphere misogyny; many feminist critics have also noticed that media discussions of progress for women—how many female CEO’s run Fortune 500 companies, for instance—have silenced structural critique of a patriarchal society.

Now What? What Now?: The 'Writing' Classroom after 2025

updated: 
Thursday, May 1, 2025 - 7:22am
SUNY Council on Writing
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, June 1, 2025

Seismic developments in technology, politics, and cognition are radically transforming the traditional writing classroom, which has been a site of contradiction (and at times controversy) since its formation after the GI Bill and the “democratization” of the university. Whether one starts with Raymond Williams or the New Critics through the Sputnik era, the cultural interventions of the late ’60s and the process movement, or the cultural turn of the ’80s, the “field” on which “the writing classroom” is founded has been a contested zone all along.

AFFECTIVE PASSAGE IN TOXIC TIMES. FASHION AND JOY AS RESISTANCE- Fashion Highlight Journal

Wednesday, April 30, 2025 - 10:54am
Università degli Studi di Firenze
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, June 15, 2025

The amplification of right-wing, fascist rhetoric in 2025 is manifesting material effects on the lives of women, trans and queer communities, disabled persons, and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC). It is a system being visibly re-organised to undo the work of feminists and other activists and exacerbate structural and systemic racism so as to dictate who will serve and whose interests will be served. In their treatise, Camilla Hawthorne and Jovan Scott Lewis (2023, p. 2)  write that in spaces of continued “colonialism, fascism, and violent nationalisms”, developing the “theoretical tools necessary to engage with the ongoing production of race and racisms” is a necessary and urgent task.
