The 17th Annual Louisiana Studies Conference will be held September 13, 2025, at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. The conference committee is now accepting presentation proposals for the upcoming conference. Presentation proposals on any aspect of the 2025 conference theme “Louisiana Dramas,” as well as creative texts by, about, and/or for Louisiana and Louisianans, are sought for this year’s conference.

This panel aims to showcase current work on "queer romance," a subject that describes the enfolding of queer sexualities and genders within the popular romance genre. While we welcome careful close readings of specific texts, we are most interested in papers that help to theorize and historicize what it means that a genre once defined in terms of its heteronormative imaginary now openly features queer and trans-identified characters and holds considerable appeal for similarly identified publics of readers and viewers. We are also particularly interested in work that helps us to think queer romance across forms of media, in relation to deep histories of the romance genre, and in transnational and global contexts.

The Department of Communication at Saint Louis University’s Madrid, Spain campus announces an upcoming international, interdisciplinary conference that examines change from a wide panorama of angles.

The conference will take place across Thursday and Friday, 2-3 October 2025 on the SLU-Madrid Campus, close to central Madrid (seven metro stops from Puerta del Sol).

We invite abstracts of 250 words, plus up to six key words, by 15 June 2025. Decisions to invite candidates will happen shortly after the due date to assure adequate time for participants to make travel plans as needed.

Call for Papers

The family is often conceived in terms of exclusivity, closeness and intimacy. The word ‘intimate’ – intimus, or ‘most interior’, in the Latin – suggests that this relationship touches our innermost part, that which is deepest and hidden from view. Familial ties are further corporealized in terms of blood, or the physical proximity of shared space, resources, and memories, and acts of care. Broader ethnic, linguistic, cultural and national communities may be framed as extensions of this familial ‘inner circle’, as the concept of the body politic suggests; the family, for Rousseau, is ‘the first model of political societies’ (The Social Contract).

The Journal of the European Association for Studies of Australia (JEASA) was founded and has been maintained by the European Association for Studies of Australia (EASA) since 2009. It is a double blind peer-reviewed, open-access online journal published twice a year, intended to showcase both European and Australian scholarhip in the field of Australian studies.

We are inviting abstracts of papers on “Culinary Crossovers: Authenticity and Ambiguity in Reimagining Food Heritage in South Asia”, to be published in a special issue for the Journal of Food, Culture & Society (Taylor and Francis, Scopus Q1). In this special issue, we aim to probe into culinary histories and practices as appended to cultural/collective memory, where the idealised and marketable concept of “authenticity” emerges as a “palimpsest” conditioned by competing ideologies of nostalgia and privilege afforded by the ability to relocate.
