Edith Wharton and Popular Culture
ALA 2025 May 21-25 Boston
Edith Wharton is regularly the question or answer on Jeopardy! these days. She’s also the heroine of a 2024 murder mystery by Mariah Fredericks. The indie band The Magnetic Fields penned a love-letter to the “masterpiece of catastrophic love” that is Wharton’s 1911 Ethan Frome, and a diverse range of voices cite Wharton as an influence or a favorite: Roxane Gay, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Beth Nguyen, and Francis Ford Coppola—whose adaptation of The Glimpses of the Moon is currently underway. A novel that, in fact, also inspired Tavi Gevinson’s 2024 audio series.
Speakers are invited to share experiences, insights, and expertise on a roundtable exploring how neurodivergence shapes and intersects with professional academic life. This session will examine the nuanced realities of neurodivergence within academia and related spaces, particularly for faculty, researchers, and academic staff. Speakers will give a short presentation (5-10 minutes), followed by a moderated discussion. This format is envisioned as an opportunity to share ideas and experiences in a less formal way than traditional research panels.
We welcome presentations that explore, but are not limited to, the following topics:

Murder Media Symposium
Call For Papers:
Liverpool John Moores University, 11th April 2025.
The recent Dahmer: Monster (Netflix, 2022), The Long Shadow (ITV, 2023), No Man of God (Sealey, 2021), and Beyond Reasonable Doubt (BBC Sounds, 2017), stand as some of the latest examples of the long and rich history of true crime content.

Rajpath: Journal of Creative Arts and English Language
Rajpath: Journal of Creative Arts and English Language invites researchers, scholars, and practitioners to submit their original manuscripts for consideration in our upcoming issues. We welcome contributions that explore the intersection of creative arts and the English language from a diverse range of perspectives and disciplines.
We invite submissions on topics including, but not limited to:
The existence of a sense of contact within a particular culture remains inherently interdisciplinary and intersectional in terms of literature, the performative arts, and the social sciences. Contact essentially entails a continuity, one that consciously evolves from the preceding line of thought to facilitate the production of the interiority of further signification. As human societies evolved, diverse communities established distinct cultural, social, and literary traditions. The resultant intersections foster and foreground the ‘unconforming’, resulting in the emergence of new socio-cultural utterances.
Paper jam: Nonhuman Animal Cultures
To what extent have ecocriticism and the environmental humanities taken up the call to consider nonhuman cultures or reconsider the idea of culture itself in light of their existence? Contributions from many disciplines are welcome, including literary studies, cultural histories, animal studies, history, philosophy, anthropology, and more.
Please submit an abstract, 250 to 300 words on any example or aspect of the following:
Nonhuman avian culture(s)
Nonhuman oceanic culture(s)
Insect culture(s)
transcultural work of Sue SAVAGE-RUMBAUGH
Nonhuman cultures and PAR (participatory action research)
We are seeking chapters to include in an edited book with the provisional title: Storied Citizenship: Reimagining Civic Encounters Among Children and Youth in the Post-Digital Age. This text will be an interdisciplinary, open access volume that will explore existing and emerging ideas about storied citizenship among children and youth in the post-digital age. Rather than defining citizenship or civic engagement in traditional ways, we see it as a process in which young people participate in arts-based, embodied, lived, and spatialized ways across cultural contexts.

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:
With the ‘Comics studies having finally arrived’, the young genre no longer has an obligation to justify its existence and significance. The legitimacy of the medium has been endorsed time and again by decades of scholarly works produced and being produced in the domain. Alongside this ongoing legitimation process, we are now witnessing a multifaceted engagement with a plethora of works – including both fiction and non-fiction – produced in the comics medium, leading to the rise of comics as a global literary phenomenon.

The Summer School The Cultural Heritage and Memory of Totalitarianism explores the legacy of Fascism in Italy blending unique in situ visits to art, architecture and historical monuments led by international experts and classes on literature, film and culture led by Sapienza faculty. The goal is to broaden the scholarly assessment of the period and to suggest innovative curricula for students in the humanities, who are also interested in working in museums and cultural institutes in Italy and abroad. The heritage of Fascism in Rome and Italy will be approached in the context of Nazism and Stalinism, and framed within the broader scenario of European colonialism.
Adaptation is the leading international, peer-reviewed journal of adaptation studies. The journal actively contributes to the development and visibility of adaptation studies as a field of academic enquiry and seeks to advance methodological approaches to the process.
Special Issue Editor: Reto Winckler (City University of Hong Kong)
Deadline for Submissions: 31 August 2025
Scope
This collection of essays seeks to explore the many new and cutting-edge directions surrounding the scholarship of Henry V, especially related to global, transnational, and other approaches that connect the play to wider contexts than those in which it has been traditionally read. Henry V is a play that has long been read in terms of internal self-fashioning: both England’s and Henry’s own. What happens to the play as we look outwards from it towards the wider world, both early modern and contemporary, with which it engages? This collection looks to explore how we read Henry V now, both as an artifact of the past and as a living work still available for adaptation, interpretation, and re-use.
