About the conference
Dear Colleague, We invite you to contribute to a forthcoming edited volume, A Global Companion for Anti-Racist Education and Solidarity Work. This volume brings together educators, researchers, and community practitioners engaged in the everyday work of confronting racism and cultivating more just educational environments. Rather than treating anti-racist education as abstract or purely theoretical, this volume centers practice. We begin from the premise that some of the most generative forms of anti-racist work are already unfolding in classrooms, schools, community organizations, and local movements.
The Indian diaspora is the largest diaspora community in the world, with an approximate population of 35.4 million. From the migration of the indentured labour force during the colonial period to the mass immigration of educated Indians to overseas countries in the late twentieth century, the Indian diaspora has indeed become a global phenomenon. Expanding migration circuits, job and business opportunities, shifting lifestyles, skilled and semi-skilled labour force, among others, have resulted in significant socioeconomic mobility, especially over the last 25 years. Besides making significant contributions to varied fields, the Indian diaspora has also arguably brought changes in how others have traditionally seen India.
This panel title borrows from the article "Granola and Guns: The Rise of Conspirituality" hosted on McGill University's Office for Science and Society that attempts to define and locate in American society a perplexing mindset that blends countercultural mystical thinking and conservative paranoia. "Conspirituality," which PennState defines as "a belief system that blends new age spiritual beliefs and conspiracy theorizing," has also been branded the "crunchy-to-fascism" pipeline, demonstrating how an openness to crystal healing, chakra opening, sonic baths, and celestial alignment has led many—often well-to-do white women—towards "Pastel QAnon," anti-vaxx, and an embrace of alt-right beliefs.

In 2026, the United States marks 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence—a document that promised liberty and justice for all and delivered them to very few.
This anniversary will be loud. It will be choreographed.
And Nonprofit Quarterly, in community with nonprofit and media partners, will contest it.
Chapter proposals are invited for an edited collection that examines how race and ethnicity have been imagined, negotiated, and represented in Irish children’s and young adult literature — and in literature by young people — from 1600 to 2000. This volume builds directly on the 2025 Irish Studies Review special issue on race, ethnicity, and representation in 21st-century Irish youth literature which was the first full-length scholarly publication to map this under-researched field. The special issue demonstrated the richness and urgency of examining how difference, belonging, and alterity are conceptualised in contemporary Irish youth texts, and highlighted the need for deeper historical contextualisation and research.
Travel and Tourism Studies as a discipline continues to gain popularity in academia, in part because of its inter-disciplinary nature. The Travel and Tourism area seeks papers that discuss and explore any aspect of travel and/or tourism. Topics for this area include, but are not limited to, the following:
- travel and gender/race/class
- personal travel narratives
- heritage tourism
- material culture and tourism
- the impacts of the political climate on travel
Poverty in the South is too often discussed at a distance. Flattened into stereotype, policy language, nostalgia, or shame, it is rarely given the complexity, dignity, and literary force it deserves.
Hand to Mouth seeks new work by Southern writers whose lives have been shaped by poverty. We are interested in writing that reflects on poverty as lived experience, inherited condition, social structure, class passage, stigma, kinship, resourcefulness, hunger, desire, labor, and survival.
As Section Editor for The Latinx and Hispanic Experience, I am reaching out to invite you to submit a chapter to this section of the forthcoming volume, The American Research Handbook on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, edited by Dr. James S. Bridgeforth, Dr. Jamie Penven, and Dr. Theodore Ransaw.

In recognition of the 100th anniversary of the publication of O.E. Rolvaag’s Giants in the
Earth, the Norwegian American Historical Association seeks contributions to an edited
volume reconsidering Rolvaag and his life’s works to be published in 2027.
Articles in the volume can address this topic from a variety of analytical and disciplinary
perspectives, and may have a biographical, literary, and/or historical focus. Topics that
extend our understanding of the Norwegian-American experience through analyzing
Rolvaag and his writings in the context of new historical eras, new geographical eras,
cross-cultural encounters, and/or innovative applications of theoretical models are
particularly encouraged.
This is a call for paper for an edited volume “(Re)Imagining Gender in Post-Covid Times: Transformations and Possibilities” which looks into the transformations that have occurred in gender relations in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic, which was a global crisis, had a considerable impact in different aspects and reinforced pre-existing inequalities across gender, sexuality, class, caste, and other spheres of marginality. This edited volume aims to closely examine these transformations through the lens of gender as the primary variable in understanding post-pandemic societies.

Session Abstract: The genre of African American poetry has a long legacy of both preserving tradition and evolving to suit current times and places. This session invites discussion of the defining features that have been maintained over time as well as patterns of bold experimentation. Rather than seeing tradition and innovation as opposing aesthetic directions, this session hopes to examine ways they have co-existed in this genre and been mutually fruitful.
