NJCEA 47th Annual Conference

 "TEACHING LITERATURE AND WRITING STUDIES IN A POLARIZED SOCIETY" 

March 22, 2025 Seton Hall University

The challenges of teaching humanities in today’s increasingly polarized political climate are profound. Educators find themselves at the intersection of diverse ideologies, cultural tensions, and barriers students may face in their access to education. How do we teach literature and writing in ways that foster civility, empathy, and meaningful dialogue amid stark political divides? For the 2025 NJCEA annual conference, we ask you to consider ideas and pedagogical strategies that help navigate these tensions without losing the richness and relevance of literature and writing.

Call for Papers: Edited Volume on “Writing under Duress in Anglophone Arab Literature in the Diaspora: The Articulation of a Coerced Imagination”

Editors: Dr. Hamida Riahi, Prof. Mounir Triki, and Dr. Saud Enazi
Publisher: This volume is being prepared for submission to Palgrave Macmillan for consideration.

Overview

Marina Warner’s latest work, Sanctuary: The Shelter of Stories (working title), the publication of which will coincide with our conference, opens with a scene from a film, where a man being chased finds refuge in a cathedral. Marina Warner describes how, as he lifts the giant door knocker, it becomes a hinge between danger and safety, enveloping the suppliant in a protective halo and becoming a portal to the Church’s ancient rite of, and right to, sanctuary. Enchanting Wor(l)ds will examine the myriad ways in which Marina Warner has dedicated her career to analysing how objects, spaces, temporalities, people, worlds and words can become enchanted: how they might be imbued with power, aura, mystery or dread.

Migrant Sensoria–special issue of The Senses and Society

What are the sensory experiences of migration? How do migrants negotiate their movement not only between spaces and cultures, but between different configurations of sensory environments, habits, and values? How do traumatic contexts of migration register—or fail to register—in sensory experience, and in sensorially entangled memories? How do different sensory arrangements and pedagogies contribute to the erosion, maintenance, or resurgence of collective memories across individual and trans-generational time? How might sensory experiences and interventions contribute to migrant performance, stories, and media—and to articulating “migrant futures” (Bahng)?

Forum: Issues about Part-Time and Contingent Faculty is a peer-reviewed journal published by NCTE and CCCC to address working conditions, professional life, activism, and perspectives of non-tenure-track faculty.

This special issue—“AI Labor and Contingency: Issues Surrounding the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Student Work and Considerations for Part-Time and Contingent Faculty”—will be published in the fall of 2025. The submission deadline is March 15.

Key Research Questions

Democracy has a strange quality, that it is systematically ambiguous. Recently, the ambiguity has led to contestations that has questioned the very foundations of democratic values and principles. The erosion of faith and conflicts around the globe is evidenced through collapse of democratic regimes or call to reform democratic practices to be replaced by more rigid or powerful structures. Many believe the rise in inequality, drastic climate changes, migration, religious fundamentalism and lack of basic facilities and growing social, political and economic insecurities has been some of the factors, that led many to question the legitimacy of democratic institutions and practices.
