Inner Circles: Kinship, Inclusion, and Inaccessibility

updated: 
Monday, May 19, 2025 - 3:41pm
Postcolonial Narrations
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, June 30, 2025

The family is often conceived in terms of exclusivity, closeness and intimacy. The word ‘intimate’ – intimus, or ‘most interior’, in the Latin – suggests that this relationship touches our innermost part, that which is deepest and hidden from view. Familial ties are further corporealized in terms of blood, or the physical proximity of shared space, resources, and memories, and acts of care. Broader ethnic, linguistic, cultural and national communities may be framed as extensions of this familial ‘inner circle’, as the concept of the body politic suggests; the family, for Rousseau, is ‘the first model of political societies’ (The Social Contract).

PAMLA 2025: Navigating Graduate School: You're ABD, Now What? [DEADLINE EXTENDED]

updated: 
Saturday, May 17, 2025 - 1:52pm
Jan Maramot / PAMLA 2025
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, June 30, 2025

This roundtable serves as a direct continuation of "Navigating Graduate School," from last year's PAMLA conference in Palm Springs. One of the most mystifying parts of graduate school that can seem intimidating to a prospective student is what happens after your qualifying exams. You're done with coursework. You've gone through your qualifying exams. You are now considered 'All-But-Dissertation,' or ABD. What happens? While graduate handbooks will helpfully detail requirements for dissertations, prospectus meetings, etc., the experience of navigating the terrain between qualifying exams and the job market can feel abstract.

Aesthetics of Fluidity

updated: 
Monday, May 5, 2025 - 1:47pm
Department of Spanish and Portuguese University of Toronto
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, June 6, 2025

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.

 

Now What? What Now?: The 'Writing' Classroom after 2025

updated: 
Thursday, May 1, 2025 - 7:22am
SUNY Council on Writing
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, June 1, 2025

Seismic developments in technology, politics, and cognition are radically transforming the traditional writing classroom, which has been a site of contradiction (and at times controversy) since its formation after the GI Bill and the “democratization” of the university. Whether one starts with Raymond Williams or the New Critics through the Sputnik era, the cultural interventions of the late ’60s and the process movement, or the cultural turn of the ’80s, the “field” on which “the writing classroom” is founded has been a contested zone all along.

"Bridging Creativity and Precision": Creative Writing and Technical Writing as inclusive disciplines

deadline for submissions: 
Saturday, April 12, 2025

Creative writing and technical writing are often seen as distinct disciplines , one rooted in imagination and artistic expression, the other in clarity, functionality, and precision. However, in today’s evolving communication landscape, these boundaries are increasingly blurred. From storytelling and spontaneous overflow of emotion to persuasive technical crafting, the fusion of creativity and technical accuracy is more relevant than ever. This conference seeks to explore how these disciplines can inform, inspire, and shape each other.

Sub-Themes: We invite original research papers and creative presentations on the following sub-themes, though not limited to:

● Narrative Techniques in Technical Writing

Octavia E. Butler Seminar at PAMLA 2025 (San Francisco, 11/20-23)

updated: 
Thursday, April 10, 2025 - 12:33pm
Jade Saffery / PAMLA
deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, May 15, 2025

We are seeking proposals for papers that explore Octavia E. Butler’s oeuvre for a special session at the PAMLA 2025 Conference in San Francisco. 

The session format is a seminar: Four to seven participants will share their paper ahead of time and then present a brief (five to seven minute) summary of their paper during the seminar, allowing time for an extended question and discussion period.

All submissions are welcome, but because Butler’s literature evidently lives in the past, present, and future—within the fictional worlds she builds and in our world as her readers—we are particularly interested in papers that engage with her work in relation to the 2025 PAMLA conference theme, “Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion.”
