Scholarship of the works of Robert E. Howard often focuses on the author’s original stories printed in pulp magazines. These works helped to form the foundation of the sword and sorcery genre, and established Howard as a masterful fantasist. However, the Hyborian Age continues to thrive through Howardian works which are only beginning to find a purchase in academia. I am excited to announce a project to bring together scholars to discuss contemporary media that adapts or was inspired by the works of Robert E. Howard. 

The Victorians Institute Journal is still accepting submissions for Volume 52, which will be published later this year. We accept manuscripts between 7k-9k words on any aspect of Victorian and Edwardian literature, art, and culture.

The International Gender and Sexuality Studies Conference is presented by the Women’s Research Center and the BGLTQ+ Student Center at the University of Central Oklahoma with assistance from the UCO chapter of the National Organization for Women. In tandem, these organizations promote engagement with Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies issues.

The Journal of Languages, Texts and Society welcomes, on an ongoing basis, proposals for:

Philosophy and its Form

Throughout its history, philosophy has appeared in myriad forms: Plato’s dialogues; Montaigne’s Essais; Nietzsche’s aphorisms; Rosa Luxemburg’s Public Lectures; Simone de Beauvoir’s journalism, travelogs, and novels; Aimé Césaire’s dramas; and Fred Moten’s poetry collections. This is before we recognize the variety of styles employed by philosophers within more traditional essay forms: Benjamin’s critical biographies of Baudelaire, Deleuze’s Plateaus, and W. E. B. DuBois’ interpolation of musical passages in The Souls of Black Folk.

Book proposals are invited for a series called Gender and Culture in the Romantic Era, published by Anthem Press (http://www.anthempress.com/). Gender and Culture in the Romantic Era is a series of scholarly monographs and edited collections devoted to the topics of gender and culture in British poetry, fiction, and drama from roughly 1780 to 1830. In terms of gender, the series encompasses scholarship related to the lives and works of women writers but also includes studies that address broader constructions of gender identity and sexuality.

Romance, Revolution and Reform, Issue 8Play in the Long Nineteenth Century Call for Submissions

The scholarly research on Comfort Women studies has grown significantly over the past three decades, focusing on the experiences of women who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. Early works primarily centered on the historical and legal aspects, analyzing the testimonies of survivors and the geopolitical ramifications of Japan's wartime actions. Studies such as Yoshimi Yoshiaki's Comfort Women (1995) and the testimonies collected by organizations like the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery highlighted the widespread nature of the system and the ongoing struggles for justice.

As the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence drives increased interest in the founding of the United States, this conference, co-hosted by the American Philosophical Society’s Library & Museum and the Science History Institute aims to widen the scope of such conversations. Inspired in part by the APS’s 2025 exhibition, Philadelphia: The Revolutionary City and “America’s Scientific Revolutionaries,” a multiyear project funded by the Lounsbery Foundation we invite proposals from scholars from all disciplines whose research illuminates the intersections of science and society in the Atlantic World between 1764 and 1804. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):

The Sixteenth IASEMS Conference

Tuscia University (Viterbo), 29-30 September 2025 Convenors: Alba Graziano and the IASEMS Executive Board

The issue’s topic revolves around Education and will challenge our anthropogenic philosophies.

It will be an exploration into what education actually means and what alternative philosophies could replace the current, education is for getting a good job and becoming a productive worker, expanding the economy, to something more holistic, more socially beneficial and more forward thinking.

All of this can be answered with fictional stories, philosophical papers, poems or personal essays.

The Anthropocene has a deficit of philosophy that looks at the world from a different point of view, instead of the one prescribed, centralised, accepted narrative.
