MMLA 2025 American Literature II: Lit after 1870 Permanent Section CFP
The first Canadian conference on agri-food and rural advisory, extension, and education (CAREE) will be held at the University of Guelph, 29-31 October 2025. The conference theme is extension 4.0: disruption and transformation in agri-food and rural development. It highlights the growing recognition of the Canadian approach to agri-food development. The conference addresses an overarching scholarly and policy discussion, both globally and regionally, that has long been captivated by a compelling question: Does Canada have an effective agri-food and rural extension and advisory service?

Call for papers
Special thematic dossier 7.1 | The Boundaries of US Identity and the African American Experience
Editor: Beatriz Hermida Ramos (Universidad de Salamanca)
This panel calls for papers that examine theories and histories of the body alongside histories of fashion and modeling. In what ways do contemporary fashion studies or modeling studies build on or depart from foundational texts that interrogate the body? How do fashion and modeling embody or resist ableism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia, and other forms of oppression that are mediated through the body? This panel is particularly interested in the role of the model, expansively defined as fashion modeling, artist's modeling, instagram modeling or other forms of model-like roles and embodied performances.
Call for articles for the peer-reviewed academic blog of the PopMeC Association for US Popular Culture Studies (popmec.hypotheses.org ISSN 2660-8839). We accept, process, and publish articles on a rolling basis and we welcome eassays by postgraduate students and early career scholars.
This panel invites papers addressing the formative roles played by the queer print infrastructures that established, defined, and perpetuated literary modernism. Via the material production systems of independent magazines, small-run presses, special edition printings, and specialist bookstores (including Shakespeare & Co., The Little Review, The Egoist, Hogarth Press, Fire!!, etc, etc) queer/non-normative people had a remarkable shaping effect on the material productions and aesthetic coherences/incoherences of commercial and ‘high’ modernism.
The SAMLA conference is taking place in Atlanta, GA on Thursday, November, 6 – Saturday, November, 8, 2025 at the Wyndham Atlanta Buckhead Hotel & Conference Center. The proposed panel dovetails directly with this year’s conference theme “Knowledge.” Even as the past few years have highlighted death and the value of health, there still remains a lack of knowledge and studies concerning the reality of these experiences for some people, especially marginalized groups. This panel is open to all perspectives and seeks to explore death, health, and/or their intersections in the humanities and beyond.
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?
This panel seeks proposals for papers that reflect on uselessness as a motif in post-1960 Anglophone literature. What sorts of aesthetic, political, and/or ethical stances do contemporary texts frame as useless, and why? Is uselessness conceivable as a literary or political end in itself? Topics that might be specifically addressed include, but are not limited to: modernist vs. postmodernist approaches to uselessness (how do they differ? Where do they overlap?); the affect(s) of contemporary uselessness; uselessness as a product of (or response to) AI technologies; and the pedagogical value of uselessness. Submissions that contest the viability of "uselessness" as a ground for literary and political critique are also very welcome.
Deadline extended: March 15, 2025.

MMLA 2025 Religion and Literature Permanent Section CFP
The Religion and Literature permanent section invites proposals for the 2025 Midwest Modern Language Association convention in Milwaukee. Those aspiring to be on the panel should feel empowered to offer proposals that interpret the concept of religion rather loosely by potentially including “the humanities” and the academy as faith driven institutions. Maintaining a broad interpretation of religion to include all intersections of faith, folklore, belief, and literature; expressions of belief may include creeds, mottos, mission statements, charters, manifestos, doctrines, etc.

Proposals are invited for a session at MLA 2026 in Toronto (session sponsor, The Conference on Christianity and Literature). The contemporary political and cultural scene in the United States is fraught with religion. Religion is fraught with politics, whether thinking about the ascendancy of the forms of Christian Nationalism in the discourses and halls of power, the continued political relevance and concern of the Black Church, the rhetorical and theological interventions of leaders like Bishop Marianne Budde (ECUSA), Pope Francis, or Billy and Franklin Graham, or the difficult political and cultural engagements across national divides in the clashing of cultures influenced by versions of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Modernist literature emerges at the intersection of industrialization and the rapid expansion of fossil fuels—railways, power grids, and oil pipelines—that define the modern city while also exposing its vulnerabilities. This panel explores how modernist works engage with the materiality and aesthetics of infrastructure to critique the systems that sustain modern life and the forms in which modern life is communicated.
This session invites abstracts for papers that engage meaningfully with Toni Morrison’s 2008 novel A Mercy. This session seeks to bring together a wide variety of approaches to and thematic interests in the novel. Papers might explore questions as diverse as possession/haunting, coloniality, race, the archive, gender, or theories of reading.
Please submit a 250-word abstract and a 150-word bio through the Google form below:

Not Without Laughter: Tracing Humour in African American Literature Across the Ages
Many philosophers, from Aristotle to Hobbes, Freud to Schopenhauer, Spencer to Peter McGraw, have given interesting insights on matters concerning humour, comedy, and laughter. While the classical theories of humour, namely the superiority theory, the incongruity theory, and the relief theory, discuss the fundamental nature of humour, its evolved forms, such as the benign violation theory, provide a more compact version of the same. Nevertheless, humour is pervasive and can be witnessed in all aspects of life.
