This panel explores how Latin American and Latine writers, filmmakers, and artists engage environmental elements as dynamic forces shaping human experience, identity, and social life. Grounded in the environmental humanities, the panel examines how cultural production renders visible the entanglements between ecological conditions and forms of movement, including migration, displacement, circulation, and transformation across human and more-than-human worlds.

In April 2026, I attended Shauna M. Morgan, Angel Dye, and Madison (Mocha) Hunter's College Language Association panel discussion: “Scripting Soul Work: The Infusive Praxis of Poet-Scholars.” In their talk, each panelist discussed—in prose like fashion—her relationship with her creative and scholarly self, and, in the spirit of Barbara Christian's 1987 “The Race for Theory,” they argued the significance of creative writing to Black and brown folk scholarship and being, which they supported with a reading of their selected poetic works.

Continuing the interdisciplinary tradition of the International Language, Literature and Culture (LLC) Conference Series, the 12th International Language, Literature and Culture Conference, jointly organized by Çankaya University and Bournemouth University, will be hosted by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Süleyman Demirel University on 21–24 October 2026. Scholars and researchers are cordially invited to contribute to the conference under the theme “Human, Environment and Ecology.”

CFP: Football and Performance

Editors: Eero Laine, Noe Montez, and Shannon Walsh

We are currently seeking chapter abstracts for an edited volume on football and performance. Theatre and performance studies allow us a unique view towards the ways that sports extend into civic space, politics, and daily life. How can the disciplines of theatre, dance, and performance studies serve as an analytic for sport, generally, and American football, in particular?

Published entirely online, LFQ makes all content freely available to readers worldwide. We publish quarterly and manuscripts often progress from initial submission through peer review to publication in less than one year. 2023 marked our 50th year of continuous publication.

«Maligno animo et lingua detractoria»:
the Art of Slander from Antiquity to the Contemporary Age

Poverty in the South is too often discussed at a distance. Flattened into stereotype, policy language, nostalgia, or shame, it is rarely given the complexity, dignity, and literary force it deserves.

Hand to Mouth seeks new work by Southern writers whose lives have been shaped by poverty. We are interested in writing that reflects on poverty as lived experience, inherited condition, social structure, class passage, stigma, kinship, resourcefulness, hunger, desire, labor, and survival.
