CALL FOR PAPERSTeaching Authentic Thinking in the Age of AI: Theory, Pedagogy, and Practice

THE PROBLEM

Students carry ChatGPT in their pockets. They can generate competent essays in seconds. Traditional assignments become trivial to automate.

How should we teach?

The Collectively Reimagining Global Politics Taft Research Group and the University of Cincinnati School of Public and International Affairs Graduate Student Association are organizing our Annual Symposium titled "Radical Hope: Reimagining Justice in Insecure and Precarious Times," March 26-27, 2026, at University of Cincinnati.

Issue 001 – “CAPTION THIS”

[caption] emerges from the collision of theory and spectacle. Annual, audacious, and gloriously hybrid, the journal stages encounters between scholarship and image-making—where Arbus’s restless gaze meets the ghosts of Benjamin, Mulvey, and Stuart Hall. We publish work that refuses to choose between seeing and thinking, between the archive and the avant-garde.

H2D (Revista de Humanidades Digitais) is an interdisciplinary Diamond Open Access journal dedicated to advancing research and dialogue in Digital Humanities.

The Society for the Study of American Poetry invites proposals for a session to be held at the 37th annual American Literature Association conference in Chicago, IL, May 20-23, 2026. 

Panel: Mediating American Poetry

This panel invites papers that examine American poetry through the lens of media, broadly construed and across historical periods. We seek work that explores how poetic production, circulation, reception, and interpretation have been shaped by media forms—from print technologies and the history of the book to digital platforms, archives, and social media.

Call for Papers: 

I am pleased to share a call for chapter proposals for an edited collection currently in development titled Black Feminist Practices and AI in the Composition Classroom: Memoir, Pedagogy, and Futures. This volume invites scholars, teachers, and practitioners to explore how Black Feminist rhetorical traditions can guide ethical, humanizing, and culturally responsive uses of artificial intelligence in writing instruction.

Dates: Thursday 25 June - Friday 26 June 2026
Venue: Jesus College, University of Cambridge

The Department of English and Cultural Studies, School of Humanities and Performing Arts, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Delhi NCR Campus, is hosting its 3rd International Conference on Global Digital Cultures: Texts, Technologies, and Audiences (Hybrid Mode). 

Date: 23 - 24 February, 2026

In the era of rapid technological change, digitalization, globalization, and platformization are reshaping film, media, and creative industries. This conference critically explores the intersections of texts, technologies, and audiences in global digital cultures, with a focus on South Asia and the Global South.

As technological, ecological, and sociopolitical transformations challenge traditional notions of human identity, the posthuman paradigm offers a framework for exploring how literature and culture imagine, negotiate, and problematise the boundaries between humans, nonhumans, and their surroundings. This conference seeks to critically examine established notions of a posthuman future/present and its representations in contemporary narratives across literature, cinema, advertising, video games, and other media forms. The seminar examines the concepts of authority, marginality, and ambiguity within dystopian and utopian literary visions of posthumanism.

Baldur’s Gate 3 (Larian Studios, 2023) represents a milestone in the evolution of narrative gaming. As both an heir to Dungeons & Dragons and a contemporary work of interactive storytelling, the game synthesizes centuries of myth, moral inquiry, and imaginative world-building into a playable form. This edited collection seeks essays that investigate how Baldur’s Gate 3 draws upon, reinterprets, and transforms literary and philosophical traditions—from the medieval and Renaissance periods through modern fantasy and posthuman theory—to create new modes of narrative, ethics, and embodiment.
