The South Central Society for Eighteenth Century Studies invites you to present papers and organize conference panels on being lost and found in the long eighteenth century. Whether one is lost at sea or lost in thought, finding one's bearings can bring about new insights and inspirations. Discovering the answers to the mysteries of existence has led to whole new understandings of the world around and within us -- and whole new speculations about the unseen and unknown. We look forward to hearing your guiding perspectives.

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.

Panel at ALA 2025 in Boston
“To be neurodivergent is to reclaim the pathologizing aspects of a long-term cognitive diagnosis and to reclaim one’s neuro-status as a possible position from which to claim resources, representation and recognition” (Stenning and Bertisldottir Rosqvist 1535).

The American Humor Studies Association (AHSA) plans to offer three panels.
One panel, “New Directions,” will provide an opportunity for innovative thinking on new and old topics.
This first panel will give priority to early career scholars—untenured faculty, newly-minted PhDs, and graduate students writing dissertations.
The second panel will be open-ended, but we will be especially interested in papers focusing on comic artifacts in digital formats, e. g. texts and images produced by generative AI, memes, viral videos, comment threads in social media platforms or websites.
The American Humor Studies Association (AHSA) is putting together a pre-constituted panel for submission to the 2025 Console-ing Passions conference, held at Georgia State University in Atlanta from June 27-29, 2025.
hosted online on 15–16 January 2025, at 11 am (+2 GMT)

Critical hegemony tracing the start of the Second Golden Age of Television to the release of HBO’s The Sopranos in 1999 means that several properties released before that time have flown under the academic radar. Oz (1997-2003), the first serial drama ever produced by HBO, contains all the tightly plotted storytelling and enhanced aesthetics Alexis Pichard defines as key features of Golden Age television, and achieved the required level of popular success with both audiences and critics.

Interest in the philosophical ideas of the Greek and Roman Stoics has burgeoned over the
past three decades, and Stoicism is experiencing a fascinating resurgence into various
facets of U.S. literature and culture. Although this popularity across diverse groups of
readers seems new, Stoicism has had a long if changeable history in the U.S.—from the
