“The poetry of witness reclaims the social from the political and in so doing defends the individual against illegitimate forms of coercion.”- Carolyn Forché
“But is it enough that a poem “remembers” when we are now entrenched in an era of total recall?”– Cathy Park Hong, “Against Witness“
Unearthed invites submissions for an upcoming issue devoted to witnessing in a time of social and ecological rupture. We welcome work that refuses to look away from injustice and chronicles radical resilience.

Speaking of the agency of nature is now common practice. The biosphere is recognised as being life sustaining and its vitality essential to human existence. Following thinkers such as Felix Guattari, nature has also been recognised has having subjective qualities, inseparable from the meaning and values humans attribute to life and the visions we conjure of what constitutes a just and habitable future. The philosophical legacy of Immanuel Kant looms large over this aesthetic terrain, notably his work on the beautiful and the sublime, which still compels us to consider the complex relationship between humans and life-world systems.
MLA 2027 Panel Proposal Emancipatory Narratives through Place-Based PedagogyHow does centering humanities classrooms "in place" allow students to create emancipatory, future-oriented, regional narratives?

The Science and Literature Forum is seeking abstracts for a panel at MLA 2027, “Food, Science, and Literature”:
California alone grows half of the fruits and vegetables in the US. This panel brings together scholars examining literature of food, food science, food justice, and agriculture in California and beyond.

As the flagship journal of Northwestern’s Environment, Culture, and Society cluster, Lime’s second symposium takes its thematic inspiration from a site familiar to all Chicagoans, and so too for our neighbors around the Great Lakes region. We seek to mobilize the productive multivalence of the shore, the collision point between formlessness and form, known and unknown, or the sanctioned and the unruly, as a metaphoric image for the transgressive encounters initiated by work in the environmental humanities.

Non-guaranteed panel at MLA 2027 co-sponsored by the Children’s Literature Association and the MLA forum on Science and Literature. This panel seeks papers on how children’s and young adult literature has engaged the natural sciences across historical and contemporary contexts, including plants, animals, evolution, and the scientific study of the natural world. We invite papers exploring the diverse ways literature for children and young adults mediates knowledge of the natural world, sometimes to instruct, sometimes to inspire wonder, sometimes to question the very authority of empirical observation. How does a text balance the excitement of botanical, zoological, or ecological discovery with the weight of explanation?
This panel explores the promises and provocations of monstrous and ghostly figures in feminist and queer speculative fiction, focusing on gendered human and nonhuman bodies. We are particularly interested in how monsters articulate socially ingrained fears and anxieties about women, queer communities, and the nonhuman world, as well as the desires and apprehensions they evoke toward the impossible, the fantastic, or the supernatural. Contributors might consider how these monstrous imaginings shape, challenge, or expand the category of “us,” offering critical insights into who is included, who is excluded, and on what grounds.
Why is close reading a particularly valuable learning strategy/professional practice at the current moment? This MLA seminar (a guaranteed session) seeks participants interested in thinking and talking through aspects of close reading with an eye towards producing pieces of public writing (e.g. an OpEd, think piece, lyric essay, call to action, etc. published in a newspaper, magazine, or periodical, in print or online). Topics for exploration may include, but are not limited to:

In 1974, Françoise d’Eaubonne coined the term ecofeminism in Le féminisme ou la mort, foregrounding the intertwined domination of women and nature and calling for the liberation of both from systems of exploitation. Since its emergence, ecofeminism has inspired scholars and activists across disciplines and global contexts.

"— and then she makes out with her dog! That's the essay." Speaking of Haraway's Companion Species Manifesto, to which I'm the modest witness, Eileen Myles is too a dog person while the Internet is rather more abuzz with considerations for the feline question... Mammalian largeness is a 'do' to be vegan yet rodents and fish deserve inclusion here.
