Call for Proposals (CFP): College Professors Who Homeschool: Expertise, Theory, and Practice
Deadline for Submission: DEADLINE EXTENDED: Feb. 21, 2025
As the homeschooling movement continues to grow, with close to 4 million documented homeschoolers in America (NHERI), college professors who choose to educate their own children at home bring a unique and valuable perspective to this educational approach. We invite college professors from various disciplines to contribute chapters to an upcoming collection on "College Professors and Homeschooling: Bridging Academic Scholarship and Home Education."
This roundtable responds to and anticipates the tactics of banning, censure, prohibition, and redaction deployed by conservative institutions of late. From the erasure of gender neutral pronouns by Argentine fascists to the elimination of "Latinx" by state officials in Arkansas, from the outlaw of DEI offices by the incoming Trump regime to Rodrigo Duterte’s genocidal “war on drugs” in the Philippines, it is clear that the right-wing believes deleting a signifier also deletes its referent.
We are looking for papers for the panel Infrastructure as the Boundary Media/Medium at the coming 4S (Society of Science and Society Studies) conference at Seattle, WA, United States, September 3-7, 2025. We hope to encourage submissions from different disciplines including media studies, critical infrastructure studies, urban planning, and history of STS. Submission (~250 words abstract) processes should be completed via official website of 4S below.

A popular t-shirt claims the first Pride was a riot.
During a police raid on the Stonewall Inn on 28 June 1969, some customers fought back. Resistance continued for several nights. Whilst this may have inspired the first Pride march, it was not the first LGBT+ protest.

The body functions as an active agent in generating knowledge, memory, and stories. This year's conference places the relationship between memory and the body at its core, emphasizing how the latter serves as a site of cultural, political, and historical negotiation. The body exerts significant influence on the creation and retrieval of memory, compelling us to critically examine the individual and collective memories produced and transmitted through the embodied experiences of culture, politics, trauma, and (post)nation.

The Jonathan Bayliss Society invites proposals for a roundtable on American experimental fiction. Beginning at least as early as Moby-Dick, American experimental fiction flourishes in the work of Stein, Burroughs, Pynchon, Gass, and Bayliss, and continues today with such writers as Giannina Braschi, Karen Russell, Colson Whitehead, Lance Olsen, and Mark Danielewski. Such writers disrupt conventions of genre, style, syntax, diction, propriety, narrative form, page layout, and much more. We are interested in papers devoted to particular works or authors as well as more wide-ranging or theoretical approaches to the topic.
Call for Articles: Volume 14, Issue 2 (2025)
The editors of Impact: The Journal of the Center for Interdisciplinary Teaching & Learning are pleased to announce an open call for articles for a forthcoming issue.

A black box is an abstraction. In systems theory, it names a model for complex exchanges in which mysterious, secret, or unknowable processes alter input stimuli and produce output reactions. The black box’s inner workings cannot be observed directly, only inferred through hypotheses about causes and effects.
Fan Studies Network North America (FSNNA) is excited to announce that we are seeking new members of our organizing committee.
FSNNA held its first conference in October 2018 to gather fan studies scholars in one place to meet, share new research, and promote the study of fanworks and fan cultures. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we ran successful online conferences with a focus on accessibility and community. Since then, we have continued implementing new online conference formats that allow us to bring together fan studies scholars from North America and around the world every year.
