Fermentation and Literature
Saint Louis University, Madrid Campus
April 24th-25th with optional visit to winery or brewery on Saturday the 26th
The 1516 German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot) limited the ingredients of beer to barley, hops, and water. Yet, this restriction overlooks the invisible and essential agent behind fermentation: yeast. Only centuries later was yeast recognized as the microorganism that drives fermentation. Prior to its discovery, fermentation was often attributed to divine or spontaneous forces, with no understanding of the microbiological agents at play.

All the generations have become indulged in the pleasure and escapism of games. Nowadays, most of us relax by playing on tabletop systems, devices, or by using cards or miniatures.

For this panel, the phrase "family ghosts" is to be understood broadly. What does it mean to have family ghosts? What does it mean to be haunted by them? And who or what is haunted? Is family itself the ghost that haunts all of us? In what sense are we all haunted by family? These are just a few opening questions to consider this idea of family ghosts.
A brief bio and a short abstract (200-300 words) is requested by 3/20.
The MS Sound Forum invites papers for a guaranteed session at the Modern Language Association’s annual conference in Toronto in January 2026. The session responds in part to the MLA Executive Council’s refusal to allow debate or a vote on Resolution 2025-1, which supported the international “Boycott, Divest, and Sanction” (BDS) Movement for Palestinian rights against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. In light of the Council’s suppression of debate, at MLA 2026, the Sound Forum seeks to provide a space for dialogue and meditation on silencing, censorship, and the role of organizations like the MLA in the face of systemic violence and threats to academic freedom.

"Goethe as World Literature"
Panel sponsored by the Goethe Society of North America
The Journal for Literary and Intermedial Crossings (ISSN 2506-8709) offers an online publication platform to researchers who wish to explore various aesthetic ‘crossings’ concerning media, genres and/or spaces. Targeted squarely at investigating the ‘in-between,’ the journal seeks contributions from scholars broadly covering medial, literary, generic, spatial and cultural crossings that bridge a plurality of potential discourses, modalities, and methodologies. We particularly welcome articles focusing on e.g.
Technology is advancing rapidly, reshaping language resources and access, and the translation and interpretation (TI) fields across industry sectors, from the legal to the educational. How is this evolution impacting literature and creative contents? Is technology hindering or advancing creativity, and will multilingual expressions become more (in)visible, (ir)relevant, and (in)accessible? These critical questions suggest a new frontier for the language professions, especially in the arena of literary and multimedia production.

‘Laws try to rationalise the border regime which fundamentally ignores the humanity of those who move. Knowing this, let’s take as our root and starting position the reality that no human is illegal.’ —Leah Cowan, Border Nation: A Story of Migration
This conference titled Gender Mainstreaming – ‘Feminist Foreign Policy’ Approaches in the Context of South Asia is an attempt to explore burgeoning conversations around Feminist Foreign Policy in South Asia with tangential focus on India. The ‘Global North’ has been focusing its attention on foreign policy agendas that are transformative and unique beginning with Sweden taking the initiative in 2014 focusing on rights, representation and resources that impact women. This responsive approach was followed by Canada, France, Luxemburg and Mexico drawing out the ‘Feminist International Assistance’ policy in intersection with focusing on areas namely inclusive governance, security, cross border trade and human rights.
We seek submissions for chapters for inclusion in an interdisciplinary book that seeks to examine the
Transatlantic Slave Trade and its re-telling through cinematic representation and pedagogical instruction.
Chattel slavery (enslavement through conquest, birth, gender, race, ethnicity, kinship, and exploitation of
indebtedness) has long been endemic to varied societies. Its Transatlantic iteration saw at least 10 million
Africans brought to the Americas. Now, two centuries after its legal abolition, how do we conceptualize,
