We examine how the environment not only shapes our sensory reality but has also been used historically to define, measure, and standardize the senses.

In the last few decades, courses on the Middle Ages and medieval studies programs have been either cut or severely restricted in the United States. In fact, recently a variety of humanities programs have been on the chopping block, forcing and providing an opportunity for specialists in medieval studies to integrate our specialties into other courses. This year’s Illinois Medieval Association Symposium seeks to explore issues incorporating medieval studies into our curricula. We seek papers that deal with problems/solutions, opportunities, and innovations. Single papers (20-minute length) and, especially, full sessions are encouraged.
The Rupkatha Journal on Interdisciplinary Studies in Humanities invites submissions on Creative Technologies in Art and Literature and the General Areas. This issue aims to explore the intersection of technology and creativity and examine how technological advancements are reshaping artistic practices, cultural production, and human expression.

Topics of Interest
“Revolutions are the locomotives of history,” wrote Marx 175 years ago in The Class Struggles in France, where the working and peasant classes were struggling against the capitalist system. Today, not only have the conditions of human beings failed to improve, but the rise of neo-capitalism and its imperial power has led to the rebirth of slavery in countries such as Congo and Libya, the complete destruction of third-world nations like Palasteine and Haiti by neocolonialism, and the further isolation of the working class across the globe.

Alcoholism has ruined many families, individuals and relationships. Its impact has not been restricted to just the physical health of the person but has often caused irrevocable harm to the mental health of the individual as well as those associated with the individual, making it as much a health hazard as a social concern. There are several states in India that ban the sale and use of alcohol and are designated dry states. Hooch tragedies are commonly reported.

I. How Do We Study Historical Text Traditions? (Paper Session)
Being good makes one a target. History rattles off instances of virtuous individuals cracked by circumstance and at the mercy of a world that seeks its own ends apart from a universal pattern anchored in the Divine. Should one register shock, then, at the violence directed at those whose faces reflect the goodness of God, for the world “hated me first” Christ reminds his disciples. No, we cannot feign surprise. Nor can we fail to act. When Mordecai implored Esther to approach the king on pain of death, he did so with the assurance that God would provide regardless of her choice, and yet, he asked her, “... who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such as time as this?” Yes, God will provide, and perhaps we are that provision.
