In April 2026, I attended Shauna M. Morgan, Angel Dye, and Madison (Mocha) Hunter's College Language Association panel discussion: “Scripting Soul Work: The Infusive Praxis of Poet-Scholars.” In their talk, each panelist discussed—in prose like fashion—her relationship with her creative and scholarly self, and, in the spirit of Barbara Christian's 1987 “The Race for Theory,” they argued the significance of creative writing to Black and brown folk scholarship and being, which they supported with a reading of their selected poetic works.

Continuing the interdisciplinary tradition of the International Language, Literature and Culture (LLC) Conference Series, the 12th International Language, Literature and Culture Conference, jointly organized by Çankaya University and Bournemouth University, will be hosted by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Süleyman Demirel University on 21–24 October 2026. Scholars and researchers are cordially invited to contribute to the conference under the theme “Human, Environment and Ecology.”

The annual graduate student conference organized by the Division of Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Southern California is now accepting applications. Submission deadline is June 1, 2026.

This year’s conference invites proposals that engage broadly with the theme, Delirium.

2027 marks the 50th anniversary of the film now generally known as Episode IV: A New Hope, the first instalment in the hugely successful Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. As beloved as it is divisive, Star Wars now straddles multiple decades and generations while proliferating across narrative media (novels, comics, games, animation, TV). It provides a series of compelling case studies in the relationship between creativity and commerce, from the foundation of Lucasfilm during the New Hollywood period to the 21st century Disney-era, and it has developed via a complex interplay between cutting-edge technological innovation, nostalgia, and mythmaking.
