The amplification of right-wing, fascist rhetoric in 2025 is manifesting material effects on the lives of women, trans and queer communities, disabled persons, and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC). It is a system being visibly re-organised to undo the work of feminists and other activists and exacerbate structural and systemic racism so as to dictate who will serve and whose interests will be served. In their treatise, Camilla Hawthorne and Jovan Scott Lewis (2023, p. 2)  write that in spaces of continued “colonialism, fascism, and violent nationalisms”, developing the “theoretical tools necessary to engage with the ongoing production of race and racisms” is a necessary and urgent task.

ABOUT CONFERENCE

​

​        How do we remember and represent our migration experiences? Who is involved in these processes? How does history remember these events? What helps migrants and societies to adapt? The significance of these and related questions have made their way into our daily lives, from the refugee crisis to policy decisions, individual psychotherapy to (re)building identities, communities, and memories.

The ways in which Europe remembers its past are central to shaping its future. From the memory of the Holocaust and the Second World War to the legacies of colonialism, dictatorship, and conflict, the continent’s history remains a site of both reconciliation and contestation. This conference invites scholars to explore the role of cultural memory in shaping European identities, values, and policies. How are memories transmitted across generations? How do different national narratives interact, clash, or converge within a shared European framework? What national and transnational memory cultures are created?

In Blue Ecocriticism, Sydney I. Dobrin provocatively calls for viewing “oceanic deficit” as form of “disciplinary critique” (9) in order to open up the epistemic realm of ecocriticism which primarily deals with the representation of ecological substance in literary and cultural works.

“Hope and the Humanities” in Children’s and Young Adult Literature and Cultures

Developed and promoted by the German-speaking academic community, frequently mobilized by Anglophone and Scandinavian scholars, yet less used in Francophone and Italophone research, the concept of postmigration marks a significant shift in migration discourses. By dissolving the binary opposition between migrants and non-migrants, it allows immigration to be regarded as an intrinsic component of European societies. The conference “From Experiences to Storytelling of Postmigration” aligns with this ongoing epistemological and analytical transformation. It aims to explore how postmigration thinking is reshaping the narratives that can be written, spoken, or reconstructed from migration-related experiences.

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

 Everything Fab Four Fest: RUBBER SOULNovember 6-8, 2025, Asbury Park, NJBerkeley Oceanfront Hotel

You are cordially invited to submit abstracts and/or panel suggestions for an international symposium devoted to the life, work, and influence of the Beatles, particularly in relation to their legendary album RUBBER SOUL (1965). The festivities will include a host of well-known speakers, journalists, and musicians. 

The term ‘Global South’ has become a new agency in the changing world today as it has been an evolving space for resistance, innovation and transformation. Although the very emergence of Global South has been often quoted as a reaction to the cultural and political imposition by ‘the dominant force’ that determines and regulates world politics and media discourses in many ways, Global South still seeks to assert its right of self-determination, economic cooperation and continual resistance to neo-colonialism.  The countries, communities and societies which are located within the broader spectrum of ‘Global South’ continue to contribute and attempt to shape and alter the public discourse on equity, sustainability and justice.
