Conference at Al Al-Bayt University, 8-9 April 2025
Languages in the Digital World
As part of this conference, several discussion topics will be open to contributors. The following list is not exhaustive, but its main axes will allow for the identification of assessments, the evaluation of ongoing data, and the outlining of perspectives for the future.
In order to provide the broadest possible picture of the multiple dimensions of the interaction between living languages and the digital world, the debates will focus on these areas, which present as many opportunities as challenges for our societies.
The “Hotels, Inns and Motels” International Conference in Toulouse invites scholars to reflect upon the way places of temporary hospitality have structured space and displacements in English-speaking countries and therefore reveal the stakes and forms of hospitality. From medieval inns to the motel chains dotting the endless US interstate landscapes, these spaces offer a temporary home to their dwellers, and perform commercial, social, political and symbolic functions that so far have not been studied thoroughly.
The aim of the conference is to explore how these places, and the people who designed them, work or live there, can reflect or create conceptions of hospitality that provide insight into a given society or a period.

Journal Overview
Latinx Fandoms
Editor: Frederick Luis Aldama
Despite the recent boom in fan studies scholarship—a field that has traditionally provided space for those deemed academically undisciplined—significant gaps remain in our understanding of the cultural impact of Latinx fan communities and scenes. With Latinx Fandoms I hope to address this by bringing together the work of extraordinary scholars to highlight Latinx practices, knowledges, and cultural innovations as fans, fandoms, and collective shapers of scenes.
“Teaching Women Writers’ Edited Texts:
New Pedagogical Approaches to Feminist, Anti-Racist Recovery Work”
sponsored by the Margaret Fuller Society
American Literature Association Conference | May 21–24, 2025, Boston
The history of the Black Atlantic is rife with narratives of leaving and returns that can prove destabilizing factors, regarding identity and culture. Yet, it is in these stories, that a more complete image of the complexities of the lives of the people who traverse(d) the Black Atlantic becomes clearer. The literature of the men and women whose texts engage the 500-year history of the Black Atlantic narrative work to form a more nuanced image of Black life in the US, Caribbean, and Europe. In doing so, many of these works demonstrate the influence of African culture on members of the Diaspora through the inclusion of African spirituality in the texts.
