In 1974, Françoise d’Eaubonne coined the term ecofeminism in Le féminisme ou la mort, foregrounding the intertwined domination of women and nature and calling for the liberation of both from systems of exploitation. Since its emergence, ecofeminism has inspired scholars and activists across disciplines and global contexts.

CFP SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 13, 11:59pm PST

We are pleased to invite proposals for the University of Washington English Department Writing Programs’ sixth annual Praxis Conference, which will be held at the University of Washing, Seattle campus on Friday, May 29th, 2026.

On November 26, 1976, the Sex Pistols released “Anarchy in the UK” in Great Britain, the first single from what would become Never Mind the Bollocks, Here Comes the Sex Pistols the following year. This conference – part of a larger project involving a series of events in Bordeaux and a collaboration with the Lycée Magendie (Magendie high school) – takes as it starting point the 50th anniversary of the release, on November 26, 2026, while seeking to investigate the meaning of such a celebration.

What roles do ‘hierarchy’ and ‘egality’, as values and practices, play in the everyday lives of South Asian traditions? Hierarchy as a value in the social life of Hinduism has been much discussed. Scholarship has tended to contrast a transhistorical Hindu hierarchy with egalitarian elements of Muslim, Christian, Buddhist and Sikh thought in South Asia, framing ubiquitous caste-like social forms among the latter traditions as anomalous. Yet careful studies of everyday life in the religious traditions of South Asia suggest that a far more heterogeneous set of social imaginaries and a far more complex entanglement of hierarchy and egality are, in fact, shaping the trajectory of both inter-caste and inter-religious relations and practices.

Frank Lloyd Wright began wintering in the Sonoran Desert in the late 1920s, where the region’s extreme climate and tectonic landscape shaped by sun, erosion, and wind profoundly influenced his thinking about architecture. How did Wright respond to the beautiful yet hostile desert environment?
