The body functions as an active agent in generating knowledge, memory, and stories. This year's conference places the relationship between memory and the body at its core, emphasizing how the latter serves as a site of cultural, political, and historical negotiation. The body exerts significant influence on the creation and retrieval of memory, compelling us to critically examine the individual and collective memories produced and transmitted through the embodied experiences of culture, politics, trauma, and (post)nation.

The Jonathan Bayliss Society invites proposals for a roundtable on American experimental fiction. Beginning at least as early as Moby-Dick, American experimental fiction flourishes in the work of Stein, Burroughs, Pynchon, Gass, and Bayliss, and continues today with such writers as Giannina Braschi, Karen Russell, Colson Whitehead, Lance Olsen, and Mark Danielewski. Such writers disrupt conventions of genre, style, syntax, diction, propriety, narrative form, page layout, and much more. We are interested in papers devoted to particular works or authors as well as more wide-ranging or theoretical approaches to the topic.

Call for Articles: Volume 14, Issue 2 (2025)

The editors of Impact: The Journal of the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching & Learning are pleased to announce an open call for articles for a forthcoming issue.

Impact is a peer-reviewed biannual online journal devoted to interdisciplinary teaching, learning, and scholarship.

The editors especially value pieces that demonstrate the need for interdisciplinary solutions to twenty-first-century problems. Articles of interest will engage the advantages, challenges, and modes of interdisciplinary work.

A black box is an abstraction. In systems theory, it names a model for complex exchanges in which mysterious, secret, or unknowable processes alter input stimuli and produce output reactions. The black box’s inner workings cannot be observed directly, only inferred through hypotheses about causes and effects.
