From its origins in South African debates about the direction of the anti-apartheid movement, to its reinvention by Cedric Robinson as a theory of race and capital’s world-historical enmeshment, to its contemporary status as a master signifier for left-antiracist critique, racial capitalism is here to stay. Across fields and theories, archives and methods, it circulates as the authorizing ballast for any number of arguments: that capitalism differentiates rather than homogenizes; that anticapitalist politics must proceed from the existential grounding wire of alternative cosmologies; that race names the persistence of feudal social relations in the conceptual, libidinal, and political infrastructures of global modernity.

Half a century later, the seeds Alice Walker planted with her seminal essay “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens” (1974) continue to blossom today in aesthetic conversations. In Search of a Beautiful Freedom: New and Selected Essays (2023), whose title is inspired in part by Alice Walker’s In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens: Womanist Prose (1983), Farah Jasmine Griffin asserts, “That book helped to shape many of us formed as intellectuals and writers in its wake.
The ongoing interdependence between the United Kingdom and the United States dates back further than the "Special Relationship" popularized by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1946.

CFP for proposed panel, “Modernist Mind Sciences”
Inviting proposals for papers to be included on a panel on the “modernist mind sciences” that consider the cognitive, neuroscientific, and psychological contexts for modernist creative practice: fiction and nonfiction, manifestoes, poetry, material culture, and experimental media. Papers might address the “infrastructures” of mind contemporaneous with the “modernist” literary and artistic historical period; papers may also consider contemporary cognitive and neuroscientific frameworks for understanding modernist aesthetics, modernist institutions, and broader cultural systems.
The formation of the United Nations in 1945 was intended to forestall global wars and inaugurate global peace. Despite its efforts and those of other international and regional organizations, wars have persisted in the 21st century. For instance, in Africa, countries are engulfed in the vortex of armed conflicts from the struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to the farmers-herders conflict in Nigeria and the Somali government/Al-Shabab Islamist militant group conflict. This violence is echoed in the post-election tensions between the military and insurgents (Allied Democratic Forces) in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, just like the post-Tigray War conflicts in Ethiopia.
Contesting Place: Practices of (Un)Doing
26th - 27th June 2025
In the context of new political confrontations, ecological challenges, and heightened social polarizations, conflicts in practices of place are intensifying. Encounters with place across the humanities and social sciences often focus on matters of identification and delineation: that is, on making and doing place. Yet, every emplacement entails displacement. Understanding places as configurations of conflict raises questions on the entanglements of (un)doing that this conference seeks to centre, by exploring de-stabilisation, dis-location, and de-identification as practicing place.
