We seek submissions for chapters for inclusion in an interdisciplinary book that seeks to examine the

Transatlantic Slave Trade and its re-telling through cinematic representation and pedagogical instruction.

Chattel slavery (enslavement through conquest, birth, gender, race, ethnicity, kinship, and exploitation of

indebtedness) has long been endemic to varied societies. Its Transatlantic iteration saw at least 10 million

Africans brought to the Americas. Now, two centuries after its legal abolition, how do we conceptualize,

represent, and teach about that period, its legacy, and its relationship to both media and education without

ABOUT CONFERENCE:

CFP: In 2050, according to scientists’ expectations, 17% of world population will be people aged 65 and over. There will be twice as many elderly people as today. In the light of these predictions, it is obvious that we have to change radically our viewpoint on many aspects of life. We have to re-think our attitudes toward cultural, social, political, economic, medical, and many other dimensions of the world’s near future.

Diasporic literature is often deeply engaged with the tensions between displacement and belonging, rupture and continuity, loss and recovery. In narratives of migration, exile, and forced displacement, family becomes both a site of longing and a contested space where histories of trauma and survival play out. Diasporic texts frequently challenge normative understandings of kinship, moving beyond biological ties to reimagine family through memory, affect, and political solidarities.

This is a non-guaranteed panel co-sponsored by the GS Children’s and Young Adult Literature Forum and the TS Age Studies Forum for the Modern Language Association (MLA) Annual Convention, January 8-11 in Toronto, ON. In the spirit of the conference theme “Family Resemblances”, we are interested in opening conversations on the interdisciplinary intersections of Health Humanities, Children’s Literature, and Age Studies. These offer a rich space for exploring how contemporary narratives shape our understanding of mental health across generations.

Journal:                      Intersections: Gender and Sexuality in Asia and the Pacific

By 2026, all nine volumes of The Collected Works of Gerard Manley Hopkins will be published, including the much-anticipated final volume in the series, Poetry. The 2026 international Hopkins conference will focus on the new research possibilities and provocations afforded by the texts. Hopkins 2026 will be held in historic Salem, Massachusetts (USA), at Salem State University, and will feature a Hopkins display and reception at the Burns Library, Boston College.
Topics could include:
• How to reassess Hopkins’ texts because of newly available materials.
• Hopkins the collector (of inscapes; of sensations; the writings of others).
• How to rethink Hopkins’s position in the “collectivity” of Victorian writers.
