“Whatever his personal beliefs, Shakespeare is in the most important sense of the word a religious writer: not a proponent of any particular religion, but a writer who is aware, and makes his spectators aware, of the mystery of things.”

This is a call for chapter proposals on the late Morgan Spurlock's 30 Days reality TV series (2005-08) on the FX Channel for the FX Reader, an anthology of FX's best original TV series, which is under a two-volume book contract with Syracuse University Press.

How do we continue to teach in unending crisis? How do we move from neoliberal and ableist expectations of “excellence” and “resilience” to center community and care? How can classrooms make space for what hurts? This roundtable intends to generate a conversation around teaching approaches and strategies faculty are using that attend to their own needs and the needs of their students given ongoing institutional and political turmoil.
Submit a 250-word abstract and short bio by March 15th, 2025.
EXTENDED DEADLINE
CFP SPECIAL ISSUE OF ANGLES - NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE ANGLOPHONE WORLD
PUBLICATION DATE: APRIL 2027
THE LIVES AND AFTERLIVES OF COOKIE MUELLER: TALES, KINSHIPS, PERSISTENCE
Russell Crowe’s talents were globally recognized in the early 2000s after he appeared in a slate of well-received films – L.A. Confidential, Gladiator, and A Beautiful Mind, among others – that earned him critical acclaim. Nevertheless, in the years following these productions, he has continued to be a part of numerous projects with international and creative appeal. Alongside his films are his associations with Roman soccer teams – established in Spera’s (2023) chapter in my recent volume on Gladiator (https://vernonpress.com/book/1213) – his social media presence, and his musical performances.
This call for papers seeks one specific chapter on Medusa for a volume intended for the series, Villains and Creatures.
Each chapter of the volume is intended to be an overview of depictions of Medusa in specific kinds of media; nevertheless, the arguments/theses of each chapter should still be original, using past works and research to develop a current (new) perspective on Medusa.
The chapter needed involves Modern Drama.
Chapters will be due in August 2025. Chapters should be approximately 5,000 to 6,500 words, with Chicago-style endnotes and a bibliography page.
The twentieth anniversary of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator (2000) was an important moment in film history, for it not only marked a great film and work of art, but it also reminded audiences how peplum and historical epics still mattered. The edited collection “A Hero Will Endure”: Essays at the Twentieth Anniversary of ‘Gladiator’ (2023) provided insights on the film two decades after its release.
Yet now there is a sequel. This CFP therefore serves to build on the work done in the 2023 essays and provide a further avenue of exploration for connections between the two films as well as innovative readings of Gladiator 2 on its own.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Narratives of health resilience: Prescribed confinement, forced displacement, and the stakes of global climate change
