This call for papers seeks one specific chapter on Medusa for a volume intended for the series, Villains and Creatures.

Each chapter of the volume is intended to be an overview of depictions of Medusa in specific kinds of media; nevertheless, the arguments/theses of each chapter should still be original, using past works and research to develop a current (new) perspective on Medusa.

The chapter needed involves Modern Drama.

Chapters will be due in October 2025. Chapters should be approximately 5,000 to 6,500 words, with Chicago-style endnotes and a bibliography page.

Panel 16: Towards a Sustainable Translation Curriculum: Integrating the SDGs into Translation Education

Politics and Leadership, Leadership Studies and Politics

Politics and leadership: two subjects that are commonly known, yet also deeply misunderstood. Politics is not merely the activities of official decision-makers and the ideas (and people) that give rise to them, but also, more broadly, how human groups determine who gets what (and under what circumstances—by consent or coercion). What if leadership is not entirely a person or position? Perhaps, leadership is a negotiation— a complex moral relationship between people that is predicated on role agreement. We might say, then, that leadership is a dynamic process that cannot be separated from the politics of human groups. Leadership, in this way, is very fundamentally political.

Original, unpublished research papers are invited for an edited volume titled Vulnerable Lives, Precarious Existence: Contemporary Narratives of Vulnerability from the Global South, scheduled to be published in 2025.

“Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words.” — Roland Barthes, A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments 

This edited collection, Killing It In The Classroom: Teaching the Young Adult Detective Genre aims to address the changes in young adult detective/mystery literature, television shows, movies, and video games from 2015 to the present. The time, we maintain, is ripe for a re-investigation: adolescent engagement with social media and technology, along with the psychological after-effects of the Covid years, have significantly impacted what it means to be a teen in 2025. How does the YA detective fiction genre offer ways to explore contemporary issues and anxieties relevant to teens today?
