This panel calls for papers that examine theories and histories of the body alongside histories of fashion and modeling. In what ways do contemporary fashion studies or modeling studies build on or depart from foundational texts that interrogate the body? How do fashion and modeling embody or resist ableism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other forms of oppression that are mediated through the body? This panel is particularly interested in the role of the model, expansively defined as fashion modeling, artist's modeling, instagram modeling or other forms of model-like roles and embodied performances.

MMLA 2025 Milwaukee, WI

Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies permanent section

Deadline for submission: April 10th

The Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies Permanent Section of the Midwest Modern Language Association (MMLA) seeks abstracts in line with this year’s conference’s theme: "The Humanities is Where Hope Lives." This will be an in-person panel.

We are looking for papers that respond to the conference's theme from the perspective of postcolonial and/or decolonial studies. 

From the conference’s website,

This panel invites papers addressing the formative roles played by the queer print infrastructures that established, defined, and perpetuated literary modernism. Via the material production systems of independent magazines, small-run presses, special edition printings, and specialist bookstores (including Shakespeare & Co., The Little Review, The Egoist, Hogarth Press, Fire!!, etc, etc) queer/non-normative people had a remarkable shaping effect on the material productions and aesthetic coherences/incoherences of commercial and ‘high’ modernism.

The 2026 Modern Language Association (MLA) Convention will be held from January 8 to January 11 in Toronto. The past few years have highlighted death and the value of health, but there still remains a lack of knowledge and studies concerning the reality of these experiences for some people, especially marginalized groups. This panel session is open to all perspectives and seeks to explore death, health, and/or their intersections in the humanities and beyond. It also draws attention to health humanities. Some questions the panel addresses include: what are some ways literary and cultural texts broaden our understanding of health, mortality, grief, and wellness or living life well?

Deadline extended: March 15, 2025.
