Singles have been and continue to be regarded as anomalies and threats to the social order in the United States and elsewhere (Moran). Within the humanities, the growing interdisciplinary field of Singles Studies builds on scholarship in queer theory and gender and women’s studies to highlight the evolution of relationships that fall outside the structure of traditional marriage and the nuclear family to include singlehood and other types of intimate relationships that do not revolve around these conventional models. As more people opt toward relationship models and orientations that do not involve marriage, it is important that scholarship in the humanities reflect this revolutionary thinking.
The Hulu adaptation of The Handmaid’s Tale has enjoyed unprecedented academic and popular international success, with the first season winning eight out of thirteen Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Elizabeth Moss. Therefore, there will be a variety of papers presented, from the fields of literature, language, film studies, and fashion, by postgraduate students and academics at various stages in their career. The Symposium is supported by research funding by Northumbria University and represents two research groups, ‘Gendered Subjects’ and ‘Modern and Contemporary Writings’. It is also endorsed by The Margaret Atwood Society.
Call for Papers for Edited Volume on Periodization
Periodization, the act of chunking up time to make units of study, is a fraught practice undertaken by scholars, educators, media professionals, and everyday people. Although largely arbitrary, the ending and beginning dates of a period do much to influence how people outside of the historical profession think about topics such as progression, regression, and the present’s current location in a larger human narrative.
Frontier Mythology and Poverty, 1885 to 1923: Reading the Dark Side of the Progressive Era explores the complex relationship between the rise of frontier mythology and the acceptance of social inequality in America. This interdisciplinary collection under considertion by Vernon Press explores how western mythology, spread through popular media, may have eclipsed late 19th-century movements for equity, such as the Knights of Labor's efforts to promote racial and gender equality, alongside workers' rights.

The Politics of Weird and the Weirdness of Politics
Online Conference
November 2, 2024
The vibe shift among the Democratic base since President Biden announced he would not seek reelection has been remarkable: apathy and anxiety have morphed into enthusiasm and a newfound pugnacious spirit. Stumping for Vice-President Kamala Harris, Minnesota governor Tim Walz, Harris’ vice-presidential pick, launched the verbal missile which has revitalized the campaign’s messaging and sought to define Republicans in succinct, yet devastating terms: they’re weird.

CALLING ALL POP-CULTURE SCHOLARS!!!!
I'm one half of the pop-culture podcast The Nostalgia Test Podcast. We are a comedy podcast that revists pop-culture from our childhood to see if it's still good, just nostalgic, or terrible!
We have a series we do called Nostalgia 101 where we have professionals, industry people, directors, innovators, and scholars come on to teach us about a specific pop-culture topic.
We recently decided we would LOVE to have on one or more (a small panel of scholars, like up to 3 would be cool) scholars to come on and teach us/talk about the 90s revival of swing dance and swing music.
We usually record for about an hour, though we love to let the conversation build if it's going well.
"Suble Modernist Revolutions: 1925 as Annus Mirablis" invites abstract submissions for our panel at NeMLA 2025 (March 6-9, Philadelphia). A centennial has passed since 1925, a watershed year of subtle Modernist revolution. If we look to 1925 as a year of subtle Modernist revolution, where Modernist literature found its footing as a revolutionary art movement, what symbols, patterns, or commentaries emerge through the exercise of Modernist techniques? Moreover, where has this revolutionary movement engendered revolutions–the cycling and recycling of certain formal interventions? What writing practices still echo through contemporary literature today and what are their implications?
This roundtable titled Monster on the Hill: Decentering Whiteness in Contemporary Horror is interested in questions facing the Horror Genre in its new contemporary era. In the wake of “Black Horror” being deemed “America’s Most Powerful Cinematic Genre” by the New York Times, and the success of auteurs such as Jordan Peele, Nia Dacosta, Iris K. Shim, and more, we seek to think through what are the most important questions facing those reinventing the horror genre in ways that de-center a white western lens? How might we conceptualize horror as a genre that demands both solidarity and betrayal from its viewers, while unifying marginalized populations across the global south and north?
