In partnership with UK’s Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies Department, “Leveling Up the Classroom” is continuing with a central focus on the integration of digital technologies and media into classroom settings. The last few years has given education a great insight into its own practices. Between online classrooms during the pandemic and the rapid emergence of more powerful technologies, we educators have seen a growing need to reevaluate our classrooms, as well as work with new tech to enhance these learning environments.

About the project

A "melange" is a term denoting works of art and literature that combine multiple forms, genres, and/or media. 

The new Princeton publication Melange: A Journal of Prose Poetry and the Arts accepts creative melanges, melanges in translation, and critical essays about melanges. Anyone may submit to Melange - professors, students, and independent scholars alike. 

In Spring 2025, we are publishing both a regular issue and a special issue. For the regular issue, we are looking for prose poetry, essays, visual art, translations, and combinations of the above. For the Special Issue Fantasy Dictionary, we are publishing entries from the Fantasy Dictionary Contest. 

In some ways, war does not change. In others, it is constantly in flux. Contemporary warfare is aided, disrupted, and mediated by ever-developing digital technologies, semi-autonomous and autonomous weapons and equipment, deepfake AI propaganda, mediation through social media, and much more. These shifts suggest that contemporary warfare is in some sense a ‘new’ modality of conflict, or at least that it has new and distinctive characteristics that are in urgent need of analysis and critique. What is clear is that we must scrutinize the utility of the central binaries that structure our knowledge of war—wartime and peacetime, battlefield and safe zone, innocence and complicity—in order to understand the state of contemporary armed conflict.
