The Janovics Center Award for Outstanding Humanities Research in Transnational Film and Theatre Studies 

The Janovics Center for Screen and Performing Arts Studies and the Faculty of Theatre and Film at Babes-Bolyai University invite submissions for their annual award for outstanding humanities research in transnational film and theatre studies. The award will be offered to contributions in the fields of film or theatre studies. The award consists of an invitation to give a talk at the Center and an honorarium.  

The Fantastical Constellations After Magical Realism research  group (formerly known as Post-Magical Realist Worlds) of the Canadian Comparative Literature Association (CCLA) invites submissions to our sessions in the upcoming CCLA 2025 Conference taking place June 7-9, 2025 at Trent University, Peterborough/Nogojiwanong, Ontario and online.  

The conference, entitled “Comparative Literature Off-Kilter,” considers “our often off-kilter positionality in (and out of) academia,” and the precarity of the balancing act of comparison. We are asked to conceive the conference “as a playground on which marginal practices, thoughts, works and formats can form revolutionary friendships.”

We are pleased to invite proposals from UK-based postgraduate and early-career researchers to participate in a twelve-person, interdisciplinary research workshop, ‘Genres of Revolt: Cultural Afterlives of 1848’, to be held on 12-13 June 2025, at Gonville & Caius College, University of Cambridge.

In the history of revolutions, 1848 has often stood as a marker of utopian aspirations—but also a symbol of thwarted hopes. More recently, vibrant scholarly debates on the significance of this crucial year have begun to prompt a new reckoning and to revise a longstanding consensus that the revolutions simply ‘failed’, in part by looking beyond the European scene alone.

The professional journey of children’s and young adult literature scholars, librarians, and educators often involves significant transitions. These transitions present unique opportunities and challenges, often requiring redefinition of identity, reevaluation of goals, and the navigation of new professional landscapes. For this year’s “Building a Career Panel,” the Membership Committee invites proposals for an interactive workshop panel that explores the diverse experiences of career transitions within the field of children’s and young adult literature.
