Call for Proposals
“The Kardashians and Trans Femininity: Appropriation, Artificiality, and Racial Erasure”
Dossier for TSQ*Now
Edited by Dr. Laura Stamm (University of Pittsburgh)
As a preamble to this call for abstracts, we want to specify that we are using the terms “transgender” and “trans identities” as umbrella terms for people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differs from what is typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth. Our use of “transgender” or “trans identities” thus encompasses a variety of experiences within and outside the gender binary, and a range of expressions, as trans individuals pursue many different options (medical changes, clothing, make-up, etc.) to bring their appearances into alignment with their gender identity, or may choose not to.

CALL FOR PAPERS
for a topical issue of Open Theology
"The Bible and Migration”
Edited by: C. L. Crouch (Fuller Theological Seminary)
https://www.degruyter.com/supplemental/journals/opth/opth-overview.xml/C...
DESCRIPTION
Recent political transatlantic events, from the culmination of the Brexit to the attempt of coup in Washington D.C. in January, demand new interpretations of the declining role of populist political formations of the 21st century. On the one hand, Trump's America aspired to the establishment of a totalitarian regime that would counterbalance the emergence of China as a global political leader; on the other, the negotiations leading to the Brexit revealed a kind of British exceptionalism that is not at all new in relation to continental Europe.
