Overview -
This edited collection, Killing It In The Classroom: Teaching the Young Adult Detective Genre aims to address the changes in young adult detective/mystery literature, television shows, movies, and video games from 2015 to the present. The time, we maintain, is ripe for a re-investigation: adolescent engagement with social media and technology, along with the psychological after-effects of the Covid years, have significantly impacted what it means to be a teen in 2025. How does the YA detective fiction genre offer ways to explore contemporary issues and anxieties relevant to teens today?

CFP: Small Forms in Nineteenth-Century America
This edited collection expands critical approaches to scale in nineteenth-century America by shifting focus from immensity (Baker 2006; Roberts 2014) to “small forms,” or forms disposed toward brevity or reduction. Building on scholarship that examines the operation of individual forms such as epigraphs (Stokes 2021), extracts (Wisecup 2021), footnotes (Cohen 2022), recipes (Tompkins 2013), and the serial sketch (Spires 2021), this collection aims to synthesize analysis of diverse small forms evident in nineteenth-century American literature and culture.

Description
MAPACA 2025 Summer Virtual Symposium Call for Proposals
This session explores how postcolonial and diasporic literatures grapple with memory, trauma, and cultural haunting. Rather than thinking of identity as fixed or linear, selfhood is complex and palimpsestic due to colonial violence, migration, and historical erasure. This session invites papers that analyze how characters or narratives navigate misremembering, inherited trauma, or overwritten histories to reclaim belonging and agency. Topics may include narrative voice, transgenerational memory, silence, storytelling, and archival gaps in multiethnic and immigrant literatures. This session welcomes interdisciplinary approaches and encourages work on Asian American, Black, Indigenous, and other diasporic communities.
The history of "rights" as a concept is mired in complications. Regarded as the moral or legal recognition of interests or entitlements of individuals and communities, rights have been present in history in a variety of ways - both justiciable and not. This history of rights, and the securing of rights, is long and arduous, and has taken various forms along the way - with sudden victories and abrupt revocations all the same - resulting in the present that we find ourselves in now.
