Call for Presentations – The Solarpunk Conference 2024: Rays of Resilience
Solarpunk is a growing subculture, existing across various veins of human endeavors, such as fiction, media, politics, technology, agriculture and urban planning and development. Solarpunk imagines an accessible, equitable world either without systemic barriers, or with those barriers in the process of disassembly, while championing intersectional social and climate justice. Drawing on ideas from permaculture, post- and trans-humanism, social ecology, and anarcho-socialism, while reacting against late stage capitalism, Solarpunk declares that our world is worth saving, and that saving it is possible.

Call for Abstracts: Doğuş University 2nd International Conference on English Language and Literature on 21st Century English Literature
We are pleased to announce the International Conference on 21st Century English Literature, an engaging platform for scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts to explore and discuss the dynamic landscape of literature in the contemporary era. As we navigate the complexities of the 21st century, English literature continues to evolve, reflecting the multifaceted nature of our global society.
Conference Theme: "Digital Narratives: Shaping the Future of 21st Century English Literature"
Fantasy and the supernatural, broadly defined, shape many popular narratives and universes—from Lord of the Rings to Game of Thrones, from World of Warcraft to The Witcher, from classical and medieval tales of monsters and dragons to the worlds of N.K. Jemisin, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Nnedi Okorafor, and Ursula K. Le Guin. As a genre, fantasy engages with questions of rhetoric, identity, and power in multiple ways, across media, subgenres, and cultural traditions; the enchantment of fantastic and supernatural narratives casts a persistent and global spell.
Call for Chapters
This panel considers a range of topics related to popular music defined and considered broadly. Though not limited to such inquiries, papers might address questions such as
· How do we see cultural forces at work in the inspiration of popular musical songs, albums, tours, artists, texts, and memes?
· How has popular music influenced, supported, challenged, and otherwise complicated cultural practices, beliefs, and norms?
· Where and how do we see the gravity of popular music extended to the domain of other arts and media?
· How does popular music manifest the intertextual and intersectional realities of (post)modern life?
