Call for Proposals: Star Trek and the CourtroomAn Edited Collection on Justice, Law, and the Trial in Star Trek
We invite proposals for an edited volume examining trial and courtroom episodes across the Star Trek franchise. From “Court Martial” (TOS) to “Ad Astra per Aspera” (SNW), Star Trek has used the trial format to explore questions of personhood, justice, military law, civil rights, ethical responsibility, and the limits of legal systems. These episodes serve as philosophical laboratories, testing the boundaries of law when confronted with, for example, artificial intelligence, alien cultures, time travel, and evolving definitions of sentience and citizenship.

Concept Note:
grounding
recent conversations illustrating the gap between the notion of “living life” and the realities of our day-to-day functioning (often framed as “being in survival mode” or “the difference between surviving and thriving”) have served to underscore the importance of our rituals of pleasure and joymaking. the essentiality of these rituals, as reclamations of agency, methods of healing, and ways of maintaining community, is especially relevant for those throughout the African Diaspora and the broader Third World* global community who identify as femme-of-center.
Often, when thinking of academia, the ideas of books, writing, and theory are what make up the idea of the scholar. Many scholars who speak about activism, liberation, mutual aid, living in a collective community, and many other topics of concern for the JOAA team, do not always live the practice they write. This year, we are hoping to disrupt this focus on the blueprints of freedom and look into the way folks are working in the world to build, support, create, and live praxis in their lives.
Appalachian Glass: Furnace of Meaning and Memory
This edited collection addresses a major gap in current work focused on Appalachia’s glass industry. We have catalogs and reference books. We have histories focused on class, labor, and gender. We have histories focused on the rise and demise of glass factories. But the human work of meaning, identity, and memory--in the context of Appalachian glass--has yet to be gathered and shared in book form.

India is poised to press home its civilisational charisma and unique advantages in the quest to realise its goals under the mission Viksit Bharat 2047. Fuelled by conceptual, imaginative and practical inputs derived from the continuously preserved Indian Knowledge Systems (Bharatiya Jñāna Paramparā), India’s developmental mission is not for its own exclusive benefit; rather, it is to guide the world in its anxious search for an alternative holistic paradigm of growth that preserves the universal core of human life and values, restores our vital spiritual connections with natural environments and rejuvenates an organic sense of community even as global enterprise prospers and enables a sense of economic well-being and security in people.

Indian psychoanalysis consistently finds itself in a space of translation—concepts and praxis generated through Euro-American epistemes are translated on the page and in the clinician’s office. Concepts forged in specific Euro-American contexts encounter Indian affective, political and cultural worlds that resist and reshape them. In India, these juxtapositions between lived worlds and psychoanalytic theory have often been navigated through recourse to Hindu mythology, or rarely, through strict adherence to European epistemes.

Journal of Artistic Creation and Literary Research 14.2
Lands of Fear: Gothic and Horror in Literature, Art, and Culture
Humans have long believed we are distinct from other animals in our rationality, self-consciousness, and use of language. Why, then, do writers, artists, and even scientists so often use anthropomorphism to interpret the behaviors of animals, plants, and even nonliving things such as trains, teapots, and toys? What are the repercussions of this tendency to understand the world in terms of human social and cultural identities?
