We invite proposals for papers dealing with American Literature from 1945 to the present. The category of “literature” includes imaginative works (fiction, poetry, drama) but also essays, memoirs, or creative nonfiction. Texts that are written by American-identifying authors, composed by writers in the US, or address American life are all welcome.
Many mainstream media outlets have observed an uptick in the mainstream popularity of American women's fiction that center on rage-filled female characters or that express anger at contemporary society. The complicated aftermath of second-wave feminism has in some ways enabled women to speak more frankly about their bodies, desires, and experiences, but these forms of sexual and social liberation of the past several decades have led to a strong backlash against reproductive freedom and a resurgent public-sphere misogyny; many feminist critics have also noticed that media discussions of progress for women—how many female CEO’s run Fortune 500 companies, for instance—have silenced structural critique of a patriarchal society.

Seismic developments in technology, politics, and cognition are radically transforming the traditional writing classroom, which has been a site of contradiction (and at times controversy) since its formation after the GI Bill and the “democratization” of the university. Whether one starts with Raymond Williams or the New Critics through the Sputnik era, the cultural interventions of the late ’60s and the process movement, or the cultural turn of the ’80s, the “field” on which “the writing classroom” is founded has been a contested zone all along.
