The Sixth Annual Ann Radcliffe Academic Conference at StokerCon 2023

Conference Date: Friday, June 16, 2023

Conference Location: Station Square Hotel, 300 W Station Square Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15219

Conference Website: https://www.stokercon.com

The 2023 StokerCon ® convention in Pittsburgh promises to be a banner event. In addition to
celebrating the birthplace of many aspects of modern horror, this year also represents the
bicentenary of Ann Radcliffe’s death, and the publication of the 2nd edition of Frankenstein, the
first to bear Mary Shelley’s name.

Going against tenacious perceptions of the south as firmly rooted to the past, we argue for a vision of multicultural, diverse souths oriented towards the future. At times, southern futurism has been a force of oppression, including the technological innovations of the plantation; the rebranding of Atlanta as a place where commerce could ignore racism or complicate it as a model of true global exchange; or the militaristic and privatized response to Hurricane Katrina that foreshadows a disaster-capitalist approach to climate change. However, the south’s overlapping histories of decolonial and anti-racist activism have always imagined progressive futures.

MLA 2024: Philadelphia (4-7 January)

T. S. Eliot Unsealed

With more of Eliot’s work and life available to view than ever before—nine volumes of letters as well as the letters to Emily Hale; new biographies of Hale, Vivien Haigh-Wood Eliot, and T. S. Eliot himself; all eight volumes of the Prose; and a documentary film—a new era of Eliot studies is underway. What can we expect?

Please send 200-word abstracts and a brief CV to Dr. Megan Quigley at megan.m.quigley@villanova.edu by 20 March.

"This workshop highlights pedagogical practices that seek to transform Feminist and Queer Studies classrooms into radical and liberatory spaces for decolonial thought and practice. Even as we emphasize intersectionality in our classes, women of color or queer of color critiques are largely offered after—and as correctives to—a canon where whiteness is default and invisible. As a result, these institutionalized canons, which naturalize whiteness alongside colonial conceptions of gender, retain their primacy of thought. How can we instead design our courses to center the coloniality of knowledge and the coloniality of gender? How do we put to practice a pedagogy that takes to heart the work of Lugones, Mohanty, Munoz, and hooks, among others?"
