Keynote Address by Dr. Evelyn Tribble
In a book chapter published in 2015, Professor Emma Smith reflected that while “only the writing partnership with John Fletcher at the end of Shakespeare’s career is known to have lasted beyond a single play ... [Thomas] Middleton may yet emerge as a more significant collaborator. In addition, Middleton’s own plays show him to be a creative and responsive early reader and reviser of the older playwright’s work” (297).
Scholarship of the works of Robert E. Howard often focuses on the author’s original stories printed in pulp magazines. These works helped to form the foundation of the sword and sorcery genre, and established Howard as a masterful fantasist. However, the Hyborian Age continues to thrive through Howardian works which are only beginning to find a purchase in academia. I am excited to announce a project to bring together scholars to discuss contemporary media that adapts or was inspired by the works of Robert E. Howard.

Women in German ConferenceNovember 6-9, 2025University of Massachusetts Amherst – Amherst, MA As part of the 50th anniversary of Women in German, this panel is interested in how the material of the past can be transformed into an unexpected, whimsical, and radical future(s) by feminist intervention. It is about past things created anew with revolutionary consequences. We are interested in papers discussing literary adaptations from, between, and into film, television, theater, and other ‘modern’ media which provide a feminist or queer lens to the source text. Feminist and queer adaptations can both enrich an existing text while rejecting to utilize heteronormative, patriarchal, colonial languages that uphold oppressive institutions.
The Contemporary Women’s Writing Association’s 2025 conference will be an interdisciplinary and global exploration of the role and impact of women’s writing. This conference is dedicated to the discussion of a broad range of women’s writing, includingthe popular and the literary;bestsellers and genres; poetry and prose; screen and script; writing for gamesand digital spaces;creative non-fiction;life-writing, biography, and memoir;and journalism and other forms of cultural production.
Fifty years ago Hélène Cixous inspired women to be courageous, expressive, and vocal. Since the publication of her groundbreaking article, ‘The Laugh of Medusa,’ we have undoubtedly made great strides in encouraging women from around the globe to tell their stories in literature, art, academia, film, television, and via a great many of new media. Women’s writing has blossomed, challenged, rebelled, and gained much more visibility as a form of expression, a creative force, and a field of research, giving us many reasons to celebrate this moment in history, even if the current political climate sometimes limits our feelings of hope.
The International Gender and Sexuality Studies Conference is presented by the Women’s Research Center and the BGLTQ+ Student Center at the University of Central Oklahoma with assistance from the UCO chapter of the National Organization for Women. In tandem, these organizations promote engagement with Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies issues.

Philosophy and its Form
Throughout its history, philosophy has appeared in myriad forms: Plato’s dialogues; Montaigne’s Essais; Nietzsche’s aphorisms; Rosa Luxemburg’s Public Lectures; Simone de Beauvoir’s journalism, travelogs, and novels; Aimé Césaire’s dramas; and Fred Moten’s poetry collections. This is before we recognize the variety of styles employed by philosophers within more traditional essay forms: Benjamin’s critical biographies of Baudelaire, Deleuze’s Plateaus, and W. E. B. DuBois’ interpolation of musical passages in The Souls of Black Folk.
We are pleased to invite scholars, practitioners, and interdisciplinary researchers from across the globe to submit papers for The Israeli International Conference on Digital Humanities and Social Sciences 2025.

The scholarly research on Comfort Women studies has grown significantly over the past three decades, focusing on the experiences of women who were forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during World War II. Early works primarily centered on the historical and legal aspects, analyzing the testimonies of survivors and the geopolitical ramifications of Japan's wartime actions. Studies such as Yoshimi Yoshiaki's Comfort Women (1995) and the testimonies collected by organizations like the Korean Council for the Women Drafted for Military Sexual Slavery highlighted the widespread nature of the system and the ongoing struggles for justice.
