Scope

The 2026 Modern Language Association (MLA) Convention will be held from January 8 to January 11 in Toronto. The past few years have highlighted death and the value of health, but there still remains a lack of knowledge and studies concerning the reality of these experiences for some people, especially marginalized groups. This panel session is open to all perspectives and seeks to explore death, health, and/or their intersections in the humanities and beyond. It also draws attention to health humanities. Some questions the panel addresses include: what are some ways literary and cultural texts broaden our understanding of health, mortality, grief, and wellness or living life well?

We are pleased to announce that students from the Institute of Arts and Humanities at the University of Worcester (UK) are hosting a conference on Dismantling Structures on the 7th May 2025. We seek submissions from early career and postgraduate researchers, ambitious undergraduate students, as well as established academics.This conference will critically examine and deconstruct established frameworks of knowledge within the arts and humanities, with the aim of rebuilding and potentially transforming them. The purpose of this deconstruction is to give further insight, offer new perspectives, peel back layers, and facilitate much-needed change in an ever-evolving contemporary context.
