Conference on the Sympathetic Imagination: Literature, Film, and Writing of Sympathy and Empathy

Call for Presentation Proposals

Auburn University at Montgomery

February 24-25, 2022

Sponsored by the Association of College English Teachers of Alabama and Auburn University at Montgomery

In the past two decades, crowdfunding and renewed interest in non-digital games (board games, role-playing games, and instructional games) and video games have created a diverse gaming production, which has become the subject of several studies and projects related to education. This session aims to explore and assess the impact that game-based learning can have for developing language proficiency, intercultural competence, or critical thinking in our Italian language, literature, and culture courses. We invite contributions that explore theoretical foundations and focus on practical activities and student work that are informed by game-based, and video game-based F/L2 language acquisition principles.

This roundtable explores innovative pedagogical strategies for incorporating leadership studies texts and theoretical concepts into the humanities classroom, as well as practices that allow students to experiment with leadership roles. The roundtable is particularly interested in interdisciplinary approaches to analyzing leadership and welcomes discussion of leadership studies scholarship, nonfiction and fictional texts representing leaders, assignments that encourage students to analyze leadership strategies, and pedagogical methods for modeling and honing leadership skills in the classroom.

This session will be held at the 53rd Annual NeMLA Convention in Baltimore, Maryland (March 10-13, 2022).

THE 2022  WRITING INNOVATION SYMPOSIUM 

February 3-4 • Marquette University • Milwaukee, WI • Proposals due 10/15

Sponsored by Marquette’s Social Innovation Initiative, University Libraries, Center for Teaching and Learning, and Haggerty Museum of Art with Mount Mary University and Bedford/St. Martin’s

Overview

The Carson McCullers Society invites proposals for presentations related to technology as imagined through the works and influence of Carson McCullers. From Miss Amelia experimenting with medical tinctures in The Ballad of the Sad Cafe to Frankie’s father working with watches in The Member of the Wedding, many of McCullers’ characters engage with technology overtly. However, in the spirit of the SSSL 2022 Conference theme, we also encourage potential panelists to think of technology in broad and creative ways.

Abstract

The long-established New Ray Bradbury Review is seeking papers for its first online issue. As well as continuing to encourage new scholarship on any aspect of the works and life of American author Ray Bradbury (1920-2012), for this issue we also specifically invite articles on the topic of “the importance of literacy”. Submissions may connect Bradbury to this topic, or discuss the topic independently of Bradbury.

We welcome submissions from researchers, educators and creative practitioners in any relevant discipline. Here is a non-exhaustive list of possible subjects for articles, but we would welcome alternative approaches and suggestions:
