This interdisciplinary panel at the RMMLA 2025 seeks to examine the complex intersections of colonial power, medical practice, and literary representation and welcomes proposals of 250 words on topics that address the following questions. How does literature engage with colonial medical interventions, their successes, failures, and lasting impacts on colonized populations? What does medical fiction and film tell us about the tension between Indigenous healing practices and Western medicine, the role of medical “experimentation” in colonial contexts, and the literary afterlives of colonial medical disasters?

Faust, a Myth of Modernity

Myth is a living entity that develops and grows by embracing interpretations, suggestions, and reinterpretations, in what Hans Blumenberg calls a true epigenesis. The multiple forms of narrative, typical of modernity, feed on myth and continuously regenerate it, rewriting it from various perspectives—religious, social, aesthetic, political, or pop—according to the times, up to the post-modern.

Greetings from the Political Science Department of Rkm Narendrapur! VoxPopuli is back and this time it is better than ever, with newer and more events. This is the official information for the 'Analysis and Augmentation' event (Paper Presentation). Students, Research Scholars and faculty members all over are encouraged to put forward their valuable research and analysis, in order to present it before all of us on the 11th of April. Your contributions matter to us and we hope to publish a few, in order to broadcast your efforts before the world. The above date is regarding the submission of abstracts, after which we would publish a confirmation mail. The abstract is to be of 300 words, with keywords and a short bionote in the third person.

Act fast! Less than one month remains before the editorial deadline for Volume 52 of The Victorians Institute Journal.

We are still accepting manuscripts between 7k-9k words on any aspect of Victorian and Edwardian literature, art, and culture for publication in Volume 52 of the journal, which will be published later this year.

For complete submission instructions and to upload your manuscript for consideration, please visit http://www.editorialmanager.com/vij and follow the steps given by the online system. Any submissions uploaded after the April 1 deadline will be considered for Volume 53.

Which texts should be taught more often? Make the case for bringing a lost classic, under-studied gem, or important new work into the classroom. 250 word abstract, brief bio.

Although initially dismissed as “a holiday from history” (Will), a “frivolous if not decadent decade” (Rich), and a “time of trivial pursuits” (Halberstam) (cf. Chollet and Goldgeier 2008), the 1990s have increasingly been recognized as a pivotal historical moment. Scholars have underscored its defining impact, with Wegner characterizing the decade as “life between two deaths,” framed by the end of the Cold War and the events of 9/11 (2009).

What will (or should) graduate education look like in 2035? What needs will graduate students have? How can programs best support grad students? What should grad students know now as they move from application to career that is different from ten or more years ago? 

For this guaranteed panel, we seek presentations that address the many pathways to the PhD in our current times (and beyond), as well as updated guidance and advice for graduate students from application to career. 

Potential papers might address, but are not limited to, the following: 

• Updated graduate school advice, from application to career;

Our culture is undoubtedly influenced by various forms of games, especially video games. These relatively new forms of expression quickly became a driving force of culture. All the generations have become indulged in the pleasure and escapism of games. Nowadays, most of us relax by playing on tabletop systems, devices, or by using cards or miniatures.
