“The poetry of witness reclaims the social from the political and in so doing defends the individual against illegitimate forms of coercion.”- Carolyn Forché

“But is it enough that a poem “remembers” when we are now entrenched in an era of total recall?”– Cathy Park Hong, “Against Witness“

Unearthed invites submissions for an upcoming issue devoted to witnessing in a time of social and ecological rupture. We welcome work that refuses to look away from injustice and chronicles radical resilience.

We invite chapter proposals for an edited volume titled Intergenerational Trauma, Memory, Truth, and Resilience Within Indigenous Communities. Across global contexts, Indigenous communities continue to confront the layered consequences of land dispossession, forced assimilation, cultural suppression, environmental destruction, and systemic inequities. Yet alongside trauma exists profound resilience—expressed through story, ceremony, language revitalization, artistic expression, community mobilization, and intergenerational renewal.

Speaking of the agency of nature is now common practice. The biosphere is recognised as being life sustaining and its vitality essential to human existence. Following thinkers such as Felix Guattari, nature has also been recognised has having subjective qualities, inseparable from the meaning and values humans attribute to life and the visions we conjure of what constitutes a just and habitable future. The philosophical legacy of Immanuel Kant looms large over this aesthetic terrain, notably his work on the beautiful and the sublime, which still compels us to consider the complex relationship between humans and life-world systems.

“A population does not renew itself only through the cycle of births and deaths, but also through the interplay of inward and outward migration.” – François Héran

Since the release of the Canadian-produced streaming TV show Heated Rivalry, the show and its actors have exploded across traditional and social media, prompting wide discussions about sexuality in sports and the female consumption of MM (male/male) romance. Based on the Game Changers novel series by Rachel Reid, Heated Rivalry follows the illicit romance between two male hockey players. In the months since, both NHL ticket and queer romance novel sales have skyrocketed; parodies of Heated Rivalry have popped up on SNL and off-Broadway stages.

CALL FOR PAPERS2026 Technology for Second Language Learning ConferenceOctober 15-16, 2026Hybrid (Online & Iowa State University)

The Constructed Agents theme provides a forum for exploring how humans develop their understanding of AI agents from their exposure to representations of agents in literature and film. The conference explores how and to what extent representations of non-human sentient agents such as Frankenstein’s creature in Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel and Hal in 2001 Space Odyssey may shape views of today’s language-using AI agents including those for language learning.
