Reflecting on the Past, Projecting into the Future

Call for Papers

There have been several recent discussions on decolonisation, diversity, and inclusion in creative writing pedagogy and publishing, following the Black Lives Matter movement, #publishingpaidme on Twitter on racial disparities in pay, and reports such as ‘Rethinking Diversity’. But have these discussions led to meaningful changes in academia and publishing?

The ‘Rethinking Diversity’ report (2020) stated that publishers have a narrow understanding of their core reader, whom they describe as ‘a white, middle-class older woman sardonically referred to as Susan’, likely uninterested in books by writers of colour.

Description: As the AATSP’s guaranteed session at the MLA Convention, this session seeks to explore representations of health, well-being, and illness in Lusophone and Hispanophonecontexts from a variety of perspectives that include social justice, pedagogy, cultural production, linguistics, and cultural analysis across places and through time. Topics may include, but are not limited to:

Nowhere is the changing landscape of higher education more evident than in Florida. From changing student demographics and enrollment to discussions surrounding academic freedom, our institutions of higher education are at the forefront of many political and philosophical conversations. Oftentimes, the intellectual and creative work of the faculty, staff, and independent scholars that support these institutions continues to challenge and further these conversations. However, there is more fluidity in Florida than merely the political situation: our natural environment is in a state of flux as our population is growing at an exponential rate.

This year’s event is scheduled for the 1st time at the Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Ecuador in a hybrid format, encompassing both in-person and online sessions.

Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:

Dissensus is not a confrontation between interests or opinions. It is the demonstration (manifestation) of a gap in the sensible itself.

It has been challenging to maintain healthy enrollments in Japanese language courses at all college levels in the U.S. Although this problem is more serious in small liberal-arts colleges, state universities also have the same problem especially in their advanced Japanese courses. If we think about the prevalence of Japanese popular cultural products such as anime, manga, music, games, V-tubers, and traditional artifacts among college students in the United States, we cannot easily understand why the number of students who learn Japanese has been decreasing in many institutions.

Our book, Digital Literacy at the Intersection of Equity, Inclusion, and Technology, aims to address a national and global need for furthering a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between equity, inclusion, and digital technologies in higher education. These issues impact students and faculty across disciplines, thus we aim to foster broader multidisciplinary conversations that will guide teacher-scholars as they navigate this rapidly evolving landscape. ObjectiveThis edited collection explores scholarship at the intersection of equity/inclusion and digital pedagogies.
