I would like to (co)organize a panel on trans studies under Trump 2.0 for the 2025 meeting of the American Studies Association, which will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from November 20-22.

28th Southern Writers/Southern Writing Graduate Student Conference
University of Mississippi
July 26th-27th, 2025
Call for Submissions
Intersecting Ecologies: Environmental Studies in the U.S. and Global South
The Southern Writers/Southern Writing Conference (SW/SW) is an interdisciplinary conference, welcoming graduate students, creative writers, activists, and community members with interest in the U.S. or Global South from all departments and fields of study. The 28th edition of SW/SW will be held at the University of Mississippi from July 26th-27th, 2025.
Call for Papers for the inaugural event of CHASE's newly established Refugee Justice Network for a Borderless World: Borders proliferate and refugeehood expands at the present time. Borders follow us everywhere, they are not just physical; they are as much digital, institutional, social, imaginative. Bordering methods that exert their force on human lives and experiences by ordering statehood, stagnation and citizenship regimes have for long been in discussion. However, the nuances and challenges of the problem are yet to be re-evaluated and re-thought. While discussions of certain geographical areas and lives affected by borders have been in the spotlight, many remained unanalysed and, as a result, invisible.
We are currently putting together a plenary roundtable on ‘Understanding Medieval Race-Making’ for the June 9-11 conference in Waterloo, ON.
Cultural Circulations, Global Mobilities, and Knowledge Translations: Turning Points in the Nineteenth Century
The nineteenth century witnessed an unprecedented acceleration and densification of human movements that generated, perhaps for the first time, cultural circulations on a global scale. With the world more interconnected than it had ever been, the need to classify, translate and hierarchise knowledge became more pressing than ever.

All bodies are, in some sense; engines driven by the health or disease of their owners, jackets of flesh
that are the physical sum of their wearers. But to become your disease? To become the consumption
itself? (Kathe Koja, The Cipher)
That's how the madness of the world tries to colonize you: from the outside in, forcing you to live in
its reality. (Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation)
CFP - Forum for Contemporary Issues in Language and Literature , vol. 6/2025
Forum for Contemporary Issues in Language and Literature is an international multidisciplinary periodical that welcomes for review any innovative and challenging research article encroaching upon the fields of literature, linguistics, philosophy and cultural studies.

Writing Human: Post-Chatbot Approaches to College Writing
We are seeking short, first-person narratives (2,000-3,000 words) from college instructors in any discipline who use writing activities and assignments in ways that foster engagement, enhance learning, and stimulate creativity. We are compiling a book of stories that affirm the educational value of human writing at a time when more of our writing is being done for us by generative AI.
The proposed panel dovetails with this year’s conference theme for ASALH "African American labor." While it is true that “Black labor has been central to political, economic, social, cultural, and technological transformations,” the hardships of that labor and the intricacies of Black lived experiences have also led to all types of death. As people of African descent continue to be accosted on multiple fronts, examining both our historical and present-day experiences around the subject of death is an undertaking worth engaging. In recent years, conversations about the uncomfortable subject of death were facilitated by the pandemic, and several studies have documented the disproportionate mortality rate from COVID-19 for Black people in the United States.
The Department of English and Comparative Literature at San José State University welcomes proposals for 15-20 minute paper presentations on any topic related to literary studies or creative writing for a one-day conference just for graduate students.
We will form panels based on the topics/categories of the abstracts that students submit. For one of the panels, we are particularly interested in papers on or related to decolonizing literary studies. The conference will take place on April 25th from 12:30-3pm.
To apply to become a presenter, please send a 250-word abstract of your paper to sjsugradconference@gmail.com by March 25, 2025.

ODIOUS COMPARISONS
... ACROSS & BEYOND THE EARLY GLOBAL WORLD
April 17-April 18 2026 [In Person]
CMRS Center for Early Global Studies, UCLA

and Nancy Alicia Martínez (Assistant Professor, Comparative Literature, UCLA)
In recounting how she introduces prison abolition work to skeptics, Ruth Wilson Gilmore shares the principle, “where life is precious, life is precious.” This life-affirming axiom grounds a praxis that is about changing everything, breaking with oppressive power systems and making worlds that reduce harm by investing in care. At the same time, the ongoing climate crisis reinforces a horizon of extinction that reorients the relationships between more-than-human and human lives, demanding more radical conceptions of our collective world(s). A. Naomi Paik, for instance, develops the idea of “abolitionist sanctuary” out of the movement for immigrant rights.
This call for papers seeks contributions examining the relationship between narratives and ecological issues, focusing on the ways storytelling addresses ecological challenges. Narratives – whether literary, cinematic, or multimodal – have the potential to critique environmental exploitation, envision sustainable futures, and explore human and non-human interconnections. The intersection of ecocriticism and storytelling offers fertile ground for discussions about the role of culture in shaping ecological consciousness and practices.

The 2026 Modern Language Association (MLA) Convention will be held from January 8 to January 11 in Toronto. The past few years have highlighted death and the value of health, but there still remains a lack of knowledge and studies concerning the reality of these experiences for some people, especially marginalized groups. This panel session is open to all perspectives and seeks to explore death, health, and/or their intersections in the humanities and beyond. It also draws attention to health humanities. Some questions the panel addresses include: what are some ways literary and cultural texts broaden our understanding of health, mortality, grief, and wellness or living life well?
