Psychoanalysis in Transition: New Queer Approaches in 21st-Century France2026 NeMLA ConventionMarch 5-8, 2026, Pittsburgh, PA Since the 1970s, LGBTQ+ Francophone authors and scholars have produced an expansive critique of psychoanalytic practices and thought. Despite their differing views, Guy Hocquenghem, Michel Foucault, Monique Wittig, Didier Eribon, Sam Bourcier, and Paul B.

In light of this year’s conference theme of regeneration—with its emphasis on engagement, collaboration, and the creation of powerful new entities—this roundtable explores how the humanities might regenerate through human–AI collaboration. As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into writing studies and classroom practices, human–AI teaming models (Gupta & Shivers-McNair; McKee & Porter; Knowles & Pedersen; Beddington et al.) have shown potential for positive outcomes in writing pedagogy. At the same time, they raise critical questions about voice (Tan et al.; Grey), the complexity of teacher labor (Ghafouri et al.), and agency issue (Yang), prompting us to reflect on what it truly means to co-generate/create with a machine.

In recent years, publishers and children’s book professionals have registered a new enthusiasm for comic and graphic narrative forms. Graphic narratives as children’s literature offer an exciting new type of text for children and youth, providing important insights into the interests and capabilities of these youngsters as readers and as potential agents of change. Curiously, children’s literature criticism has tended to ignore or, at best, marginalize comics and graphic narratives for young people. This “blind spot” in children’s literature and comics criticism, as Charles Hatfield has called it on a number of occasions, is now being addressed.

A few days before the Independence Day of India in 2023, the Special Police Unit for North-Eastern Region (SPUNER) under the Delhi police circulated a Google form to collect information on “North-Eastern People, Ladakhis & Gorkhas of Darjeeling residing in Delhi” for “better policing Safety & Security.” This incident raises serious concerns due to its discriminatory nature against these marginalized communities and poses security risks involved with the storage and ethical use of such data. This aspect of collecting information becomes even more pertinent during critical moments such as elections or the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan in Kashmir.

Environment and Society, a book series published by Bloomsbury Academic, is seeking proposals covering a broad range of topics in environmental studies from the perspectives of the social sciences and humanities. More than 40 books have already appeared in the series.
