Social justice is the virtue which guides us in creating those organized human interactions we call institutions. In turn, social institutions, when justly organized, provide us with access to what is good for the person, both individually and in our associations with others. Social justice also imposes on each of us a personal responsibility to work with others to design and continually perfect our institutions as tools for personal and social development.

Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies (LLIDS), an open-access peer-reviewed academic e-journal, invites original and unpublished, interdisciplinary, research papers and book reviews from various interrelated disciplines including, but not limited to, literature, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, history, sociology, law, ecology, environmental science, and economics.
Space is not defined objectively, but in relation to bodies, as it is a manifestation of their needs, intentions, and desires. It is not a container in which objects exist but is intertwined with the body’s orientation in the world and its movements within the space. Human body, therefore, is at the centre of all spaces, which are more than a geometrical concept in abstraction. Individual bodies apprehend and appropriate space differently and give meaning to embedded systems and institutions through established and evolving associations. Any assumption of personalised space, whether private or public, is embedded with historical, cultural, and social meanings which help curate embodied experiences.
This is a Call for Papers for a special issue of the online open-access double-blind peer-reviewed journal [Inter]sections, titled Laughing in the Face of Evil: Humorous Perspectives on Perpetrators in Contemporary American Literature and Popular Culture. We invite papers that ask what humor can contribute to our understanding of perpetrators by examining a selection of works from contemporary American literature and popular culture. Does humor help demythologize certain perpetrators whose international fame turned them into quasi-mythical figures? Can the ownership of humorous content about a traumatic situation or process endured by a specific marginalized community be transferred to other communities?

1. Transmedia Explorations of Cannibalism: Dehumanizing Accusations and Empowering Rebuttals (Lexington Books: Monsters and Villains series)
The year 2025 will mark the centennial of one of the most powerful voices in twentieth-century American Literature. Author of a reduced fictional production (two novels and three collections of short stories), Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964) remains among the most widely praised authors of the United States, to the extent that, shortly after her premature death, claims by, among others, Brainard Cheney, Robert Giroux, and Caroline Gordon were made about the country having lost their next Nobel Laureate for Literature. Alternative history aside, what is true is that the last century of American literature would have lost an enormous amount of its meaning without the existence of Flannery O’Connor’s writing.

The Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities (indexed by Web of Science) invites submissions for its 60th issue on "Transforming Humanities Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Human-Computer Interaction". As we approach the completion of the first quarter of the current century, the intervention of digital technologies in the Humanities is all set to transform how we study and understand human culture, history, and society. This technological convergence offers new methodologies and insights that can impact the humanities immensely.
Rupkatha (ISSN 0975-2935 | www.rupkatha.com | Indexed by Web of Science) is an International Open Access Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities, publishing criticism of emerging literature, innovation and art, and intersections across the disciplines of humanities, social sciences, and science. The fundamental idea of interdisciplinarity derives from an evolutionary necessity, namely, the need to confront and interpret complex systems. An entity that is studied can no longer be analyzed in terms of its singular objectivity but as a contending hierarchy of discourses emerging from multiple or variable branches of knowledge.

The Intersection of Literature and Censorship in Modern Society
Call for Papers (Issue 36): Family
The family as an ostensibly biological group has been naturalised as the fundamental unit of collective organisation. Yet, as feminist and queer theorists have endeavoured to show, the family is neither an innocent nor an immutable category. Protecting certain familial structures has long provided justification for the ongoing legal regulation of sex, marriage, and reproduction, making the family a contentious site for feminist, queer, and racially-marked subjects.

This panel will examine the ongoing catastrophe and accelerating devolution of medicine and its attendant practices in contemporary America. How late-stage America undermines health humanities keywords such as empathy, care, healing and the like are appreciated. What ways of "doing otherwise" are becoming evident in terms of medicine and health systems? What does this moment reveal in larger discussions of medicine, national affiliation, individual survival, and neoliberal, anti-democratic empire?
