Durham University Postgraduate English Journal 48th Issue: Artificial Intelligence, Social Media and the Future of Literature

updated: 
Wednesday, June 10, 2026 - 8:20pm
English Department, Durham University
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, July 10, 2026

Postgraduate English, Durham University’s online peer-reviewed literary journal, has been publishing postgraduate research biannually since the year 2000 and is one of the longest-running online postgraduate literary journals in the world. In recent years the journal has received reprint requests from academic publishers.

The journal aims to provide a space for postgraduate students and early-career researchers (including those currently institutionally unaffiliated) to showcase their work and receive feedback from established academics. While the journal is based in the UK, we seek to cultivate an international range of contributors and judge submissions primarily for strength of argument and fresh insight over a fixed writing style.

This edited volume, Emergence of New World Imagination in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Asia: Understanding Asian Colonial Countries through Travelogues, Memoirs, Testimonies and Archival Documents, seeks to examine how autobiographical narratives, letters, memoirs, travelogues, oral narratives, and archival documents written in various Indian languages engage with the colonial and postcolonial histories of East Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia, and South Asia.

EMERGE 2026: Contested Futures

Tuesday, June 9, 2026 - 5:35pm
Intitute for Philosophy and Social Theory
deadline for submissions: 
Saturday, June 20, 2026

Technological futures are not given. They are made, and they can be made differently. EMERGE 2026: Contested Futures takes place at a moment when AI systems have become central to the organization of economic power, political control, and social sorting, while democratic institutions struggle to keep pace and ecological costs mount. Rather than treating technological change as inevitable or neutral, the conference invites critical reflection on how emerging technologies are developed, governed, narrated, and contested.

Monday, June 1, 2026

Perhaps the most relevant question we are facing today, both in and out of the university, is how to deal with AI. In academia, different disciplines handle this question in a myriad of ways, some insisting that to not embrace AI in the classroom is harmful to the students, while others believe the utilization of AI must weaken critical thinking skills. Regardless of the differing opinions on how to use it appropriately, no one disagrees that it is here to stay. Living through the development of this world-changing technology means that we are the ones facing the question of what it means to live well in the age of AI.
