Conference dates: March 5-8, 2026 in Pittsburgh, PA
Deadline for abstracts: September 30, 2025
Contact panel chair for inquiries: Noah Gallego @noahrgallego@gmail.com
This panel invites papers that examine how early modern women were imagined and represented across genres and cultural contexts. From historical figures to literary characters, how were women positioned in relation to authority, virtue, sexuality, or empire? How were women written, circulated, obscured, or celebrated in early modern texts? What roles did women play in shaping narratives of gender, race, and power? This panel welcomes work that attends to both the forms of representation and the structures that produced or obscured women’s presence in the early modern world. What kinds of authority or ambivalence did gendered figures carry, and how did race, class, and empire shape their depiction or erasure?

Zines and STS: The Remix
British cultural production has a long history of foreclosure. Understood as a premature abandonment, or an abortive failure, of radical political projects, foreclosure has an imaginative and material register in working-class writing, which has been read since the 1930s as failing to experiment, relying on realism without meaningful engagement with questions of literary form. This view has been challenged by literary scholars, who have demonstrated that formal experimentation did exist, though not in ways that comfortably align with the usual reading of middle-class modernism (Clarke Working Class Writing, 2018).
Perhaps the most relevant question we are facing today, both in and out of the university, is how to deal with AI. In academia, different disciplines handle this question in a myriad of ways, some insisting that to not embrace AI in the classroom is harmful to the students, while others believe the utilization of AI must weaken critical thinking skills. Regardless of the differing opinions on how to use it appropriately, no one disagrees that it is here to stay.

Great Britain has a rich and varied history when it comes to true crime. This statement applies as much to the crimes themselves as it does to media producers’ coverage of them. While a global canon of true crime is forming, there has to date still been an emphasis placed on Western narratives according to American culture, with crimes from this region dominating media attention. However, Britain itself has a long history of true crime that warrants further critical attention, to include some of the most prolific serial killers within the genre: Fred and Rose West; Harold Shipman; John Christie; Dennis Nilsen; and, more recently, and controversially, Lucy Letby.
The Old English Literature session is open to any and all papers that explore some aspect of Old English poetry, prose, and/or Beowulf studies. We welcome proposals both related to the conference theme, "Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion," and those not related.
