Food is a basic foundation of culture and society, it is vital to our health and well-being and it plays a significant role in our everyday creative engagement with nature. The shifts in activities surrounding food acquisition, preparation and consumption are not only essential for learning a culinary tradition but for examining a broader societal change.

Important Deadlines

Literary Veganism - An Online Journal is seeking submissions of literary essays, creative non-fiction, fiction, and poetry. Though this is a new journal, the editors have experience (Bibliotekos site and anthologies) and are looking for high-quality work. Writings would be by, for, or about vegans. You don't need to be a vegan to submit. Please refer to the submissions tab on the website www.litvegan.net We are hopeful that the journal will act as a conduit to another anthology.

deadline for submissions: 

15 February 2020

full name / name of organization: 

Diplomatica  https://brill.com/view/journals/dipl/dipl-overview.xml

contact email:

newdiplo@gmail.com

For this special issue of Diplomatica we invite proposals for essays on aspects of diplomacy’s relationship to the natural environment. Essays may cover any historical period up to the present-day. The central questions that this special issue poses are:

How does the natural environment condition, cause, or complicate diplomatic action?

Chapters are solicited for inclusion in an edited volume titled Activism in the Name of God: Religion and Black Feminist Public Intellectuals from the Nineteenth Century to the Present.

Please send inquiries to Jami.Carlacio@yale.edu to pitch your idea.

What do we want? A better world? A cleaner world? At this point, many of us might merely settle for a world that isn’t barrelling towards inevitable environmental destruction.  So, what do we want? Climate Action! What does climate action look like in the academy? It looks like the expansion of digital resources and the cultivation of better disposal and recycling habits on university campuses. It also looks like the cultivation of eco-critical theory and research. Earth is our home. It is the only habitable planet for us. Unfortunately, while it shows evidence of the brilliance of humanity, the state of the Earth also represents our greed and short-sightedness.

Call for Papers | Climate Fiction, Friction & Fact

Exchanges (ISSN 2053-9665) is a quality-assured, interdisciplinary scholar-led, open access journal dedicated to disseminating research and original thinking from new and early career scholars. Following the Utopia, Dystopia and Climate Change Utopian Studies Society conference (USS, 2019), which focussed on the eutopian and dystopian possible outcomes of anthropogenic global warming, the journal is delighted to announce a call for contributions to a special issue inspired by these topics.
