The Post-Secular Turn in Victorian Studies

updated: 
Thursday, July 3, 2025 - 3:07pm
Anna Peak, Temple University
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, September 30, 2025

The so-called “post-secular turn” in Victorian studies has helped produce a more accurate view of the Victorian period by acknowledging the religiosity of the time rather than privileging doubt and skepticism. However, so far the post-secular turn, understandably, has focused on religious movements and the role of the Bible in the literature of the time. This panel seeks to broaden that focus by examining ways in which a consideration of Victorian religiosity sheds new light on a range of scholarly debates – including but not limited to such topics as disability studies, eugenics, “scientific” racism, or animal rights, among many other possibilities. Interdisciplinary papers are welcome.

Baldwin After BLM

If James Baldwin maintained a “ubiquity in the imagination of Black Lives Matter,” as William J. Maxwell and others have observed, then what are we to make of his words and image in a moment that Cedric Johnson and others have argued must be understood as “After Black Lives Matter”?

(Neo)Colonial Images and Literature: The Construction of the Other

Dança guerreira e religiosa dos Tupinambá, Jean-Baptiste Debret (1834)


We invite scholars to submit proposals for our upcoming conference, which will examine how colonial and neocolonial powers have influenced representations of non-Western countries and their peoples in literature, the arts, and the media. This event seeks to investigate how these representations have been instrumental in constructing negative stereotypes, enforcing cultural hierarchies, and sustaining hegemonic narratives that marginalise indigenous, local, and non-Western communities.

Inheritance and Rupture: Writing Genealogies across French and Francophone Contexts (NeMLA 2026)

updated: 
Thursday, July 3, 2025 - 3:05pm
Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, September 30, 2025

This panel explores how cultural genealogies—artistic, intellectual, political, and linguistic—are constructed, resisted, and reimagined across French and Francophone spaces. Far from being fixed or linear, inheritance often manifests through discontinuities, silences, and contested claims. Artists and thinkers engage with prior figures, movements, and traditions in ways that may reaffirm legacies, subvert them, or create entirely new configurations of belonging and dissent. Whether through homage, revision, irony, or deliberate omission, these acts of (dis)inheritance speak to larger dynamics of memory, power, and transformation.

Our work is informed by our commitment to countering oppression in all of its intersecting forms in the belief that such study will critically challenge our sense of who we have been as a religious movement, and deepen our aspiration to be a just, inclusive, and beloved community as Unitarian Universalists today.

The Power of Naming: The Use of Surnames in Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God

Gudrun M. McCollum / Texas Woman's University

In her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, Zora Neale Hurston artistically chooses distinctive forenames and nicknames for her characters, reflecting the uniqueness and diversity of African American culture. Names like Tea Cake, Bootsie, Alphabet, or Sop-de-Bottom are informal name choices that also highlight the difference between the proper white naming conventions and the relaxed naming choices of African Americans in the South.

deadline for submissions: 
Friday, August 15, 2025

Hello all!

We are delighted to share with you the Call for Papers for the upcoming GRACLS conference this November. Our conference, entitled “Configurations of Place and Death,” draws from the writings of Achille Mbembe to ask participants to consider the ways in which necropolitics shape how places and spaces are conceptualized and administered. The ubiquity of necropower as a determining force in the various ways in which humans inhabit the planet calls on us to engage with necropolitics as they relate to a vast array of fields and disciplines. Please see the attached CFP for a more in-depth description of the conference theme and suggested topics.

Erasure in the Medieval Archive (Virtual Panel)

updated: 
Thursday, July 3, 2025 - 2:54pm
International Congress on Medieval Studies (May 14 - 16, 2026)
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 15, 2025

Recent manuscript studies increasingly examine physical damage to medieval documents as intentional acts. Erasure often functioned as censorship, silencing content deemed transgressive. Conversely, damage has also been interpreted as ritualistic worship, where marks on texts or artefacts express devotion rather than destruction. This session explores erasure both as censorship and as devotional practice, investigating how such traces can be read as deliberate, symbolic interventions. By considering these forms, the session sheds light on the complex interactions between materiality, authority, and spirituality within the medieval archive.

Please note that this is a virtual session.
