Indigeneity is a complex and dynamic concept that encapsulates the identities, cultures, and rights of Indigenous peoples worldwide. It (Indigeneity) has historically been defined through rigid legal and anthropological frameworks established by nation-states and colonial powers. These frameworks often rely on lineage, territorial ties, and historical continuity to grant recognition, land rights, and resource access. Such definitions create fixed distinctions between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, reducing indigeneity to static identity markers (Perreault, Bridge, & McCarthy, 2015).

Return to the South: The Complexities of Southern Culture in Ryan Coogler’s film Sinners. 

On April 18, Warner Brothers released Ryan Coogler’s long anticipated film Sinners. Since its release, the film has achieved both critical acclaim and popular resonance, marking a significant entry in contemporary Southern cinema. Critics and audiences praise Sinners for its nuanced treatment of inter/intra-racial dynamics, spirituality, and regional identity. In addition, the film has prompted sustained cultural discourse, and now, academic interest in the South. Its layered narrative and atmospheric rendering of the South position Sinners as a vital text for examining the complexities of Southern culture and history.

CFP (edited volume): 13 Exigencies for Teaching the Essay

As readers of Milton know, Milton’s writings are often humorous, titillating, outrageous – extra in today’s colloquial parlance. Of course, they are also challenging, but this too can be pleasurable. Studying Milton involves, simply put, serious fun. How might we rethink our affective approaches to Milton’s poetry and prose to spotlight not only their difficulty but also their recreation? What is at stake for Milton and for us in the pleasures derived from, for example, an over-the-top invective or a sarcastic God? What are sustaining and enlivening potentials in critical and creative practices, such as speculation, auto-criticism, and parody? And how might we mobilize these potentials in our writing and teaching to engage new audiences?

Main theme: “Listening to Each Other’s Voices”

In his work AI Ethics, Mark Coeckelbergh describes humans as “meaning-making, conscious, embodied, and living beings whose nature, mind, and knowledge cannot be explained away by comparisons to machines” (36). Machine-assistant writing tools and other technologies have become increasingly prevalent as teaching tools in humanities classrooms, which means it is more imperative than ever we find ways to differentiate human and non-human meaning making and knowledge creation. Our panel is interested in exploring and mapping potential futures for the humanities as technology becomes an increasingly significant presence in how we teach and present our work in the classroom. 

Description:

I hope to find other presenters who would like to discuss strategies about formulaic, genre-based, or other types of fiction writing strategies, especially aimed at the literary or sophisticated marketplace. This session is tailored for professors of creative writing who want unique approaches to teaching. The rules are:
