This year’s topic, crime fiction, conflict, and representation, attempts to appeal to researchers of crime fiction in all its variety and presented on various media, ranging from the “classical” detective novel via filmic representations of crime to podcasts and social media. As a genre of fundamentally human expression, much of crime fiction from all places and times is concerned with discussions of both conflict and representation.

Akker’s theory of metamodernism to contemporary religious/spiritual phenomena. We
welcome submissions that include, but are not limited to, theories and case studies of:

This interdisciplinary conference invites scholars to explore the rich and evolving relationship between Textual Studies and Memory Studies, two fields that while historically distinct offer vital and complementary insights into the construction, transmission, and contestation of cultural memory. In an era marked by the disruption and reconfiguration of once-stable social, cultural, and political structures, the questions raised by both disciplines feel increasingly urgent: How is the past preserved, edited, and transmitted through texts (where “text” is broadly conceived)? What role do textual forms, variants, and materialities play in shaping collective memory?

Special Issue, Fall 2026: “Bad Moms”

Edited by Maik Stanitzke, Bentley University

Abstracts Due: Dec 1, 2025

Full Papers Due: January 18, 2026

This is a call for contributions to a special issue of the Journal of Feminist Scholarship organized around the figure of the “bad mom,” labor, and gender.

Despite the outsized influence of technology on everyday cultural practices and classrooms, its role has never been more contested. Indeed, even in the case that such practices are not digitized, our societal roles are increasingly governed by systemic expectations, rules, and algorithms. These expectations create hierarchies, enforce boundaries, and classify individuals and their work.

The CUNY Graduate Center Theatre and Performance department is holding in-person and virtual Ph.D. in Theatre and Performance open houses. Our in-person open house is on Thursday, November 13th at 5:30, and our Zoom open house will be on Tuesday, November 18th at 10am.

CFP: The Imposter
The Velvet Light Trap, Issue 99 (to be published Spring 2027)
Imposter is a loaded term that has invaded and fascinated media including accusations of
illegitimacy, fraud, and fakery. The imposter unsettles understandings of our media’s
truth, authority, and belonging. More than ever, the imposter feels unavoidable in our
lives: generative AI challenges the very idea of creativity, algorithms create debates
around curation and manipulation, and the evolving labor landscapes make us question
who is recognized as a legitimate media worker. Beyond technology, this figure is
political, social, and juridical. The imposter makes us think about precarity; precarity for

Translating Modernities: Language, Selfhood, and Literary Futures in Asia

This proposed panel explores how modernities across Asia have been shaped not only through contact with the West but through acts of translation-linguistic, cultural, and epistemic-within and across Asian languages. It asks how writers and thinkers, negotiating between vernaculars and global idioms, forged new vocabularies of selfhood and community that redefined what it meant to be "modern."
