Routledge Handbook of AI and World Language Learning – call for chapters
Editors: Weixiao Wei
The Routledge Handbook of AI and World Language Learning will explore the transformative role of artificial intelligence in language education, offering a critical and comprehensive analysis of how AI is expected to reshape the ways languages are taught, learned, and assessed.
Preliminarily divided into six thematic sections, the handbook will bridge theory, research, and practice to establish AI-driven language learning as a rigorous academic field. It is intended to serve as a vital resource for researchers, educators, ed-tech developers, policymakers, and postgraduate students.
Call for Chapters: The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Translation (Revised Edition, 2027)
Editors: Weixiao Wei and Zhaoming Gao
We are pleased to announce the call for chapters for the revised edition of The Routledge Handbook of Chinese Translation, scheduled for publication in 2027. Building on the foundation of the 2017 edition, the revised volume aims to reflect the latest developments, research trends, and innovations in Chinese translation studies. We particularly welcome contributions that explore how advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping the theory and practice of Chinese translation across various domains.
We are looking for additional chapters for the upcoming edited volume, to be published in the Anglophone Postcolonial Studies series by HeiUP (2026), on the theme of haunting in postcolonial literatures and cultures as well as the endurance of Eurocentrism in academic practices and spaces. We are particularly interested in further contributions on the latter.

Location - San Francisco, California - The InterContinental San Francisco Hotel - U.S.A.

Overview -
This edited collection, Killing It In The Classroom: Teaching the Young Adult Detective Genre aims to address the changes in young adult detective/mystery literature, television shows, movies, and video games from 2015 to the present. The time, we maintain, is ripe for a re-investigation: adolescent engagement with social media and technology, along with the psychological after-effects of the Covid years, have significantly impacted what it means to be a teen in 2025. How does the YA detective fiction genre offer ways to explore contemporary issues and anxieties relevant to teens today?

CFP: Small Forms in Nineteenth-Century America
This edited collection expands critical approaches to scale in nineteenth-century America by shifting focus from immensity (Baker 2006; Roberts 2014) to “small forms,” or forms disposed toward brevity or reduction. Building on scholarship that examines the operation of individual forms such as epigraphs (Stokes 2021), extracts (Wisecup 2021), footnotes (Cohen 2022), recipes (Tompkins 2013), and the serial sketch (Spires 2021), this collection aims to synthesize analysis of diverse small forms evident in nineteenth-century American literature and culture.
