National Video Games: Cultures, Industries, Communities
international conference

10–12 September 2026
University of Warsaw, Poland

The end of history was cancelled years ago, and national ideas have been on the rise ever since. Game scholars, too, have been studying the relationships between national cultures, video games and game industries for about a decade. We now have a wealth of material about the game cultures of numerous different countries across the world; there are also publications that examine the national categorization of games itself.

The 2026 International Postgraduate Comparative Literature Conference (IPCLC 2026), hosted by the Master of Arts in Literary and Cultural Studies (MALCS) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), brings together postgraduate students and emerging scholars from Hong Kong and beyond for a day of cross-cultural conversation. Taking place in person at HKU on May 26, 2026, the conference offers a supportive forum for sharing work in progress, building scholarly networks, and testing new comparative methods across literary, cultural, and media studies. Featuring themed panels, a keynote lecture, and Best Paper Award(s), IPCLC 2026 invites participants to consider how comparison can sharpen our understanding of urgent questions in the humanities.

Call for Papers

In the Introduction to In Other Worlds: SF and the Human Imagination, Margaret Atwood makes a clear distinction between science fiction and speculative fiction: the former concerns events that could not happen; the latter draws on developments that could happen or that have already occurred in some historical form. The distinction was publicly contested, including in an exchange with Ursula K. Le Guin, and Atwood insists her terminology was descriptive rather than hierarchical. She places The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) within the speculative category on the grounds that nothing in the novel exceeds documented historical precedent (Atwood 5–6). This conference takes Atwood at her word.

Title: Witness, Voice, and Agency: Chinese Poetry as Emancipatory Narrative

This panel explores how Chinese poetry, from classical to contemporary, functions as emancipatory narrative across historical periods, aesthetic forms, and sociopolitical contexts.

The D H Lawrence Society of North America and the Joseph Conrad Society of America are seeking panel papers on the themes of exile and emancipation in the works of both Lawrence and Conrad.  Proposals specialized on either author will be considered for inclusion, but we are especially interested in papers that address both of these important writers in a comparative or interdisciplinary manner.  In either case, early for Conrad and later for Lawrence, the author left his home country in the interests of a less constrained existence elsewhere, thereby raising the possibilities of exilic nostalgia and regret.  At the same time, both equally sought spaces of freedom and movement in expatriat

This panel will foreground how Muslim minorities acculturate cooperative networks of solidarity, acceptance, creativity and affect beyond rigid notions of nation, region and sovereignties. In this context we will look at ruptures which persist due to the rigid and restrictive processes of neocolonial and neoliberal regimes and how it continues to shape the lived and material realities of South Asian Muslims across national and diasporic contexts. In particular we will discuss the historical contexts and enduring consequences of the rigid and restrictive processes of colonisation, partition, migration, trade, caste, legalities, and majoritarianism as it intersects with the inter-nation and cross-border movements of Muslims within and beyond South Asia.

Title: Algorithm or Ally? AI, Global English, and the Future of Language Learning
Sponsoring Entity: MLA LSL Global English Forum
Convention: MLA 2027 (Los Angeles, Jan 7–10)

Description: The future of Global English is now inextricably linked to the rise of Artificial Intelligence. This session investigates a fundamental tension: Is AI democratizing language access, or is it a new, automated iteration of "Linguistic Imperialism"?

Present-day cultural and political shifts are producing seismic impacts upon Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies programs and curricula across geopolitical contexts. This session explores new currents, approaches and strategies for teaching WGS in the classroom. (In-Person Session)

Deadline: Sunday, March 15, 2026

The nature of free speech has been a flashpoint in the past decade of contemporary Anglo-American and Western politics. Depending on who you ask, free speech is imperiled by politically correct language and the silencing of right-leaning voices among the elite, or by political administrations, corporations, and other institutions that remove books from libraries and syllabi from classrooms. As these principles collide, the dialectic between freedom of expression and institutional censorship reaches a crucible—a volatile tension that distills our understanding of these core principles.
