Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Call for Book Chapters: “Matrilineal Family Saga Beyond Western Modernity”
We are excited to invite researchers, writers, and practitioners to contribute a chapter to an upcoming book entitled Matrilineal Family Saga Beyond Western Modernity. This interdisciplinary collection aims to explore diverse perspectives on matrilineal family structures across cultures, examining how they challenge and expand beyond the frameworks of secular Western modernity.
Focus and Themes
We invite proposals for short articles to complete a cluster on “Accessibility in Feminist Modernist Studies.” The papers in this cluster will consider how feminist methods and considerations of structural access help us understand and re-examine the concept of “modernist difficulty.”

The series has won four Hugo Awards, two Nebulas, and four Locus Awards, with Wells often turning down subsequent award nominations.
This session is a sepcial session at 122nd PAMLA Conference between Thursday, November 20 - Sunday, November 23, 2025 located at San Francisco, California.
Fluidity is a complex state of being in the world that exists in the realm of the aesthetic. To be fluid means to be continuously shifting and morphing, calling attention to embodiment and its materiality in relation to spaces and each other. As an identitarian characteristic, fluidity challenges the spatio-temporal logics that impose rigid taxonomy through the hetero-patriarchy and, instead, offers resistance. As a spatial condition, fluidity may offer malleable or blurry boundaries to help form alternative ways of being and connecting in the world. As a process, fluidity means to reimagine bodies and spaces as watery.
We invite additional chapters for a K-pop reader for publication with Routledge. We especially welcome scholars who can contribute to Part I from global perspectives situated outside the U.S. (particularly in Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Europe), as well as contributors for Parts II and III from wide ranging fields.
The abstract, table of contents for the reader, and submission details can be found below.

This volume, under contract with Bloomsbury, will focus on the intersection of Bryher’s work as a writer and filmmaker/critic. Although her contemporaries, particularly H.D., are widely known, Bryher’s far-reaching influence is largely overlooked by scholars of Modernism. With that in mind, I'm thrilled to invite essays that explore Bryher's writings, letters, and films, as well as her influence on other creative practitioners. Please send essays by June 30th, 2025 to Kristina Marie Darling, the volume's editor. Essays of any length are welcome for consideration.
