Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies was founded in Boulder, Colorado, in 1975 and was housed in the Women's Studies department at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Frontiers began as a volunteer-based organization to bridge academic and community-based feminist knowledge and corresponded with a local movement among students, faculty, and community members to develop a women's studies program at the University of Colorado. Using a range of informal tactics, the Frontiers editorial collective established itself as "an incorporated legal nonentity," a strategic move aimed at circumventing the heteropatriarchal administrative tactics that had hindered the formation of women's studies programs in universities across the U.S.

TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly 11.3:

 Trans* Ecologies

Guest editors: Erin L. Durban and Megan Moore

Eva Hayward (2022) inquires, “Can trans mean anything to ecology? If so, what?” The guest editors of this issue of Transgender Studies Quarterly offer Hayward’s question as an invitation to artists, activists, and scholars to consider the possibilities of combining trans* analytics and undisciplined environmental and ecological thinking. The issue follows the Queer & Trans Ecologies Symposium that took place at the University of Minnesota in spring 2023.

The Illinois Medieval Association invites proposals for individual papers and especially full sessions for the 40th Annual Illinois Medieval Association Symposium, to be held online throughout the academic year. Papers presented at the Symposium are eligible for submission to our peer-reviewed proceedings volume, Essays in Medieval Studies, published annually by the West Virginia University Press and available via Project Muse. The Symposium aims to engage all disciplines and geographical areas of medieval studies.

This session is part of the 36th annual Medieval-Renaissance Conference, sponsored by the Center for Medieval-Renaissance Studies at the University of Virginia's College at Wise, Spetember 14-26, 2023.  It welcomes proposals about all topics related to King Arthur as a figure in literature, history, art, and entertainment.  Interested in interdisciplinary approaches, such as the character of Arthur in romance and history, in art and literature, and in popular media, are especially encouraged.  We also welcome proposals on:

NEASECS 2023 Conference: “Old and New, Beginnings and Endings”
Washington Plaza Hotel, Washington DC, November 17-19, 2023

Panel: Translations, Revisions, and Adaptations in the Eighteenth Century

Panel Chair: Lina Jiang (ljiang28@fordham.edu)

This panel queries the notion of “critical race theory” and how to teach racial issues whether or not one is specifically a “critical race theorist.” This topic is especially urgent during a time of right-wing “anti-‘woke’” agendas that seek to erase the very concept of race from public education and to attack as “divisive” any effort to offer a historically informed and rigorous accounting for ongoing inequality and racism in American society. Race is perversely both denied and invoked as that topic which is too disturbing to teach and yet absolutely necessary for the maintenance of normative political structures.
