Hey everybody, The 19th annual Tolkien @ UVM conference will be held on April 1st 2023.   Abstracts are due by January 15th 2023. Please keep them to about 200 words. And send them to Chris Vaccaro at cvaccaro@uvm.edu We are accepting papers on all things concerning the Second Age of Middle-earth. Topics will vary and some papers not on this theme will also be accepted. Priority will be given to enquiries into history, historiography, and the historicity of race, gender, sexuality. This is a hybrid conference, so presenters can attend in person (preferred) or virtually. Our keynote will be the amazing Gergely Nagy!

Since its emergence, medieval disability studies has asked questions about the meanings of disability in the Middle Ages, the lived experiences of people with disabilities, and how scholars can apply the frameworks of disability studies to medieval texts. Although these questions have led to insightful and field-changing scholarship, much of this work centers the Western tradition. In order to explore a broader and more accurate view of disability in the global Middle Ages, we ask these same questions but with a focus on non-Western texts. This panel seeks presentations on any aspect of disability in the global Middle Ages, and we welcome submissions from across disciplines, including literature, art, history, religion, and philosophy.

The Journal for Cinema and Media Studies publishes translations of outstanding scholarly and creative work on cinema. The originals may be in any language and come from any period or geographic region. We welcome two types of proposals: (1) a single text such as a journal article, book chapter, or self-contained section of a book that focuses on a particular topic in a unified, coherent way; and (2) a group of smaller texts that are linked thematically, geographically, or otherwise.

The GCWS conference “Liberating Temporality and Spatiality ” welcomes graduate students in all areas of study to submit their abstracts or synopses of in-progress scholarly papers, dissertation or thesis chapters, article drafts, or in-progress film/mixed media works. Proposals may come in the form of papers, films, art, performance, visual art, or alternate forms not listed above.

I am editing the Companion to Sexuality of the Medieval West with Jenny Bledsoe for Arc Humanities. The projected publication date is early 2024. This volume is intended to be an update of the classical Bullough and Brundage volume, with a more inclusive approach.

We are looking someone to write on North Africa. The deadline for submission can be somewhat negotiable, but May 2023 would be ideal. The essay should 6,000-6,500 words, and use a broad approach rather than a specific argument (e.g., handbook style). Chicago style citations as appropriate. Use of images possible as well. All essays peer reviewed.

Please contact me for further details and/or with questions.

“Requiem for Netflix? Reflections on Two Decades of Streaming”  

Keynote Speaker: Juan Llamas-Rodriguez (Assistant Professor, Annenberg School of Communication, University of Pennsylvania) 

The ability to engage with moving images without leaving the home on an increasingly dizzying number of devices and with more and more physically disparate audiences has forced a reckoning with the very nature of these images.  

This panel will discuss the significance of women telling their own stories, and how testimonial narratives are integral to recovering marginalized and forgotten histories. We are interested in papers specifically exploring women’s transnational identity concerning injustices of race, gender, class, and nationality. 

You are invited to contribute to a new SpokenWeb digital publication project: an anthology of annotated audiotexts, that you will select, frame and annotate.
