JOCPC is now accepting article submissions for the Fall 2023 issue focusing on the broad theme of the mechanized child. We have kept the theme open-ended and invite works across a wide range of disciplines where researchers are exploring representations of the intersection between the child figure, childhood and mechanization. This may include robotics, automatons, cyborgs, AI, VR, and other emerging technologies, both historical and future forward, real and fictional, and how these are used by, to, on and for children. Born alongside new and emerging technologies, children have an innate fluency with new technologies that often leave their adult counterparts behind, reinforcing the notion of children as symbols of futurity.

The monstrous mother: images of unexpected evil (Edited Volume)

Editors: Anna Chiara Corradino; Alessandro Grilli; Sofia Torre

The monstrous mother, a peculiar subset of the ‘monstrous feminine’ (Creed 1993), is a recurring figure in cultural representation – in mythology, literature and the arts. Its multifaceted profile symbolizes the dangers and anxieties associated with motherhood and the maternal. 

Inspired by Nannie Helen Burroughs, this roundtable conversation will center on the precarity of educators working at the intersections of race, class, and gender, more importantly, the lessons faculty can learn from innovative educational praxis.

In addition to our Open Call for Papers, the Interdisciplinary Journal of Leadership Studies, with the University of Richmond’s Jepson School of Leadership Studies, publishes a wide range of high-quality scholarship. We are currently accepting paper proposals that contemplate the relationship between leadership and the digital landscape. More specifically, we invite papers that question the advantages, drawbacks, and ethics of artificial intelligence (e.g., chatbots, algorithms, etc.), social media, the singularity, et al. What, we ask scholars to question, are the relationships between these forces and leadership?

This CFP is for a special journal issue focused on South Asia and aimed for a postcolonial journal.
