The Hospital for the Maintenance and Education of Exposed and Deserted Young Children was established in 1739.  It was the ‘darling project’ of Thomas Coram who saw the need to care for infants when their parents were unable to.  The Hospital underwent great changes between 1739 when its opening was a watershed event in British child welfare and 1954 when it ended its practice of institutional care.  This conference aims to bring together the global community of Foundling Hospital researchers for the first time to discuss all aspects of the charity’s history, and stimulate new avenues of investigation in the institution’s archives.

PAMLA 2023 Los Angeles: “Shifting Perspectives”

October 26–29, 2023

Panel: "Emersonian Perspectives"

Sponsored by the Ralph Waldo Emerson Society

The Ralph Waldo Emerson Society invites papers that explore the conference theme “Shifting Perspectives” in the context of Emerson’s work and reception. Contributions may address how perspective informs Emerson’s philosophy, aesthetics, poetics and politics. They may also explore in what ways Emerson’s work teaches us to shift our approaches to reading, thinking, feeling, writing and teaching. Finally, they may also show how other philosophers, poets and artists shift our perspective on Emerson.

Must We? The Discourse of Student Need

Writing studies, in its aims to meet “student need,” has always been teleological in its orientation. But should we continue to assume that we know what future we are preparing our students for and maintain confidence in what best serves them? This special issue asks for a critical reappraisal of our reliance on those discourses of goals, needs, and assessments and how they have shaped and continue to shape our fields, especially given emerging transnationalism and globalism in teaching and scholarship.

ANGLES: Call for Guest Editors

Angles (https://journals.openedition.org/angles/) is seeking guest editors for the thematic sections of its upcoming issues, due to be published in 2025 and 2026.

Angles is an international online peer-reviewed journal published bi-annually by the SAES (Société des Anglicistes de l’Enseignement Supérieur).

It is indexed by MLA, EBSCO, ERIH Plus, etc.

Each thematic issue contains 8–12 articles selected by a guest editor after a double-blind peer-review process.

The Polish open-access journal Didaskalia (https://didaskalia.pl/en) invites submissions that reflect on the actual and potential power of disability to transform performing arts, and theatre and performance studies. We wish to approach this issue from the perspective that sees disability as a generative artistic force and a critical lens. As a creative, academic, and cognitive category, disability has been changing the face of theatre, dance, music, and performance art.

I am delighted to invite submissions for an edited volume by Dr Serena Clark titled Reclaiming Humanitarianism, Development, and Peace After Crises: Responding Through Disruption and Adapting to the New Normal, with the Helsinki University Press series, The Impact of Pandemics. The proposal has tentatively been approved, and I am now seeking chapter abstracts for a final proposal review.

I welcome submissions from all disciplines and/or theoretical perspectives; I am particularly seeking research by early career and first-generation contributors, and historically underrepresented scholars, such as women of color (e.g., Black and African-American, Asian and Asian-American, Indigenous, and other minority communities), and LGBTQ+.
