Call for Papers: Visual Propaganda in an Era of Instability

updated: 
Friday, May 15, 2026 - 11:49am
Nottingham Trent University
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, September 1, 2026

This is a call for papers for an international edited volume tentatively titled ‘Visual Propaganda in an Era of Instability’. Based on distinct case studies explored in a wide range of book chapters, the main objective of the volume is to analyse the role of the image in driving public opinion and perception. The main historical period under investigation is from 2020 onwards: a time that is marked by significant social, cultural, political and ideological tensions. Whilst visual propaganda is not a new phenomenon, and contributors are very welcome to reference historical precedents, the main focus of the volume will be on the growing impact of visual propaganda since 2020.

In April 2026, I attended Shauna M. Morgan, Angel Dye, and Madison (Mocha) Hunter's College Language Association panel discussion: “Scripting Soul Work: The Infusive Praxis of Poet-Scholars.” In their talk, each panelist discussed—in prose like fashion—her relationship with her creative and scholarly self, and, in the spirit of Barbara Christian's 1987 “The Race for Theory,” they argued the significance of creative writing to Black and brown folk scholarship and being, which they supported with a reading of their selected poetic works.

Hand to Mouth: Southern Writers on Poverty

updated: 
Thursday, May 7, 2026 - 1:23pm
Dr. Monic Ductan
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, September 1, 2026

Poverty in the South is too often discussed at a distance. Flattened into stereotype, policy language, nostalgia, or shame, it is rarely given the complexity, dignity, and literary force it deserves.

Hand to Mouth seeks new work by Southern writers whose lives have been shaped by poverty. We are interested in writing that reflects on poverty as lived experience, inherited condition, social structure, class passage, stigma, kinship, resourcefulness, hunger, desire, labor, and survival.

Newsletter #35: Postcolonial/Decolonial Water Stories
We invite submissions exploring the dynamic intersections between colonialism (past and ongoing)
and water/waterscapes through a humanities perspective. As many scholars have pointed out,
“Unequal access to water and the political processes that direct management are fundamentally
rooted in colonialism” (Hartwig, Jackson, Markham & Osborne 2023, p. 31) Water – oceans, rivers,
seas, and wetlands – has long been central to colonial histories, shaping routes of conquest,
migration, trade, and resistance. In literary texts and other cultural productions, waterscapes often

Mos Historicus: A Critical Review of European History
deadline for submissions: 
Sunday, June 14, 2026

The history of work and labour has long occupied a central place within European social history, offering a key lens through which to examine social relations, hierarchies, forms of power, and economic formations across the longue durée. Rather than approaching work solely as an economic function, historical scholarship has increasingly foregrounded work as a lived social experience –one that has shaped identities, values, and modes of belonging.

Resistance: A Journal of Radical Environmental Humanities
deadline for submissions: 
Saturday, August 15, 2026

2027 will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the passing of radical ecologist and labor organizer Judi Bari. Best known for her leadership in the 1990 Redwood Summer campaign in Northern California, Bari sought to overcome the entrenched division between environmentalists and timber workers by identifying corporate capital as the common force exploiting both labor and forests. Her politics extended beyond direct action and formal organizing to include music, storytelling as agitation, and public spectacle, all mobilized to cultivate ecological consciousness within a framework of working-class solidarity.
