“Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words.” — Roland Barthes, A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments 

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?

Bible and Literature (Panel / In-Person)Presiding Officer: Kathryn Vulic (Western Washington University)

This session welcomes papers about the Bible and Literature that will ideally but not necessarily connect to the conference theme of “Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion,” and touch on:

— Jewish biblical or post-biblical works

— Canonical or non-canonical Christian scriptures

— Post-biblical literary works that borrow from, adapt, translate, comment on, satirize, or allude to biblical stories, verses, characters, themes, or tropes
