ENGLISH

The Nineteenth-Century section of Jagiellonian University’s Comparative Literature Student Society cordially invites students and PhD researchers to the international conference entitled ‘Nineteenth-Century Minor Literatures’. We seek to create a space to explore texts existing outside the mainstream of the long nineteenth century.

We welcome papers related to the following research areas:

Panel at Collective Atmospheres, ASLE 2025 Biennial Conference July 8-11, 2025 University of Maryland, College Park

The Willa Cather Foundation seeks proposals for 1-2 panels at the 36th annual conference of the American Literature Association, held at the Westin Copley in Boston from May 21-24, 2025.

Topics could include (but are by no means limited to) race and ethnicity, indigeneity, settler colonialism, Queer histories, labor and leisure, Cather and other writers, teaching Cather, urban/rural spaces, philosophy and religion, approaches to Cather’s letters, ecological issues, and material culture.

While proposals on any topic pertaining to Cather’s life and writing are welcome, 2025 marks the centennial of the publication of The Professor’s House, so papers on that novel would be of particular interest.

This area focuses on reproductive justice issues as they appear in popular culture (film, television, social media, music, literature, etc.). Reproductive justice is a term that goes beyond the term reproductive rights, something that typically focuses on contraception and abortion.   According to the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective, “it’s ‘the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities” (Abrams).

Network Asia: Past, Present, and Future, March 6-8, 2025 at The Westin Georgetown Hotel in Washington, DC

We invite papers and panels from all disciplines and across all frameworks that engage with the historical, contemporary, and future of networking Asia. This includes papers and panels that reflect on relational complexity and plurality and how the global Asias and trans-Asia approaches to Asian studies are bridging area studies and ethnic studies, and those that explore how best to foster science-informed and diversity-enhancing collective action that equitably addresses issues of global concern like data governance and climate change.

    In the Anthropocene, the pace of human development outpaces that of natural evolution, disrupting ecological balance

and transforming humans from a biological existence into a potent geological force. The superiority of humans often leads to

simplifying and exploiting other forms of natural entities as mere resources, neglecting long-term impacts on our planet. This

mindset further creates a divide between humans and non-humans. However, the advancements in science and technology have

blurred the line between nature and culture. Nature is no longer an external backdrop but deeply intertwined with human
