Vernon Press invites chapters for an edited volume on the spaces within Renaissance anatomy theatre.

The collection asks, how did actions and conversations taking place within a Renaissance/Early Modern anatomy theatre make their way into European society? How did public dissection and anatomical research influence the arts, government, or society? This collection examines the spaces of intersections within the anatomy theatre, the aspects of gender present in anatomical discourse and images, and a shared interest in the physical body and its parts.

The Editors invite submissions for Performance Beyond Drama, a special issue of the Journal of Medieval and Early Modern Studies.  

The Hero is Female Katniss Everdeen’s hand signal is now used at real-world rallies, and Princess Leia is the face of the real-world resistance movement. More than ever fictional female protagonists are symbols of hope and strength during these turbulent times, but power can take many forms and often these characters can take nontraditional paths. This panel will focus on female protagonists in fiction and film, with an emphasis on genre narratives, as we examine the ways in which women of all ages gain revelations and empowerment.

I am still accepting proposals for the 20th Century British panel at the South Central MLA conference on October 8-10, 2020. It is not clear yet whether this will be an online or in-person conference, but if we are in person this year's location is in Houston, Texas.

The theme of this year's conference is "Politics of Protest," but I am running this panel as an open call; while addressing this year's theme would be nice, it is not required.

Due to the ongoing situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, the conference organisers have decided to postpone the event by one year and plan to run it in early September 2021. The specific dates will be confirmed in due time but we hope to run it during the ones equivalent to those currently scheduled. For the next academic year, that would be 2-3 September 2021, TBC.

Our CFP remains active and so is our inbox (neovictorian@brighton.ac.uk) for abstracts or any queries related to the event. We accept abstracts by 27 April 2021.
