Postcolonial Interventions (ISSN 2455-6564) Call for Papers Vol. X, Issue 2 (June 2025)   

Postcolonial Interventions invites scholarly articles for an OPEN ISSUE to be published in June 2025. As this call is being circulated, older territorial imperial aggression is threatening to bare its fangs across the world, right-wing forces of xenophobia, discrimination and intolerance continue to gather momentum across the world, inequality and ecological crisis continue to escalate and new forms of precarity are being constantly negotiated. The next issue of Postcolonial Interventions seeks to explore such issues and more based on postcolonial experiences across the world.

In these turbulent times of global conflict and wars, and with the world witnessing human rights violations, scholars and individuals alike are grappling with the evolving definitions of fundamental issues such as human rights, international law, justice, and community peaceful coexistence. The crises challenge long-held assumptions on the so- called post-colonialist discourses, neocolonialism, systemic oppression, and cultural conflict, especially in transnational and diasporic encounters. Images of destruction and the continuous lurking waves of international sociopolitical plights inflicting the world raise urgent ethical questions that call upon the humanities to critically engage with these contemporary struggles of the human experience.

Philip Roth Studies Special Issue: Haunted Roth

updated: 
Tuesday, May 13, 2025 - 1:55pm
Philip Roth Studies
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, October 1, 2025

Philip Roth Studies invites submissions for an upcoming Special Issue titled “Haunted Roth.”  A variety of “ghosts” influence and worry Roth and his narrators, manifesting as literary idols and antecedents, lost loved ones, and lingering memories, as well as larger specters of historical trauma and strife. Roth’s protagonists are haunted by emotional and psychological struggles, such as anxiety, fear, and guilt, and physiological illness and pain, and by the prospect of mortality–death itself being one of the central phantoms of Roth’s later works. In The Counterlife, Roth suggests that the idea of haunting is tied to imagination, creativity, and the very act of writing.

CFP: America's 1776: Independence and its Enduring Legacies, June 4-6, 2026

American Philosophical Society
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, June 23, 2025

July 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. This central moment in American history has shaped our national self-perception for 250 years even as writers and scholars have debated the origins and meaning of the events of 1776 from the time they occurred until today. Inspired by these discussions and the national commemoration of independence, the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society is convening a conference in June 2026. What beliefs turned a diffuse movement protesting imperial policy into a radical republican revolution in 1776? How did the events of 1776 play out in the communities that experienced them? How did independence change American society?
