Reading in the Digital Age
Reading is one of the oldest academic practices, and certainly one of the most rapidly changing.
Abstract
To be published in the world of contemporary creative writing likely means passing through one exclusive gate or another—even writers once able to make it through are losing access. What are these publishing gates, and who are their keepers? What are they trying to keep in—and out? Perhaps more productively, how might those of us who are passionate about creating a progressive, inclusive, and radical body of literature break down—or go around—or ignore those gates of exclusivity and begin to build new, ungated communities?

Call for Abstracts – SECAC Panel
Immersive Threads: Narrative, Participation, and the Making of Experiential Worlds
How do narrative and participation become interwoven within immersive environments? How do we, as participants, become threads within experiential artworks, installations, museums, performances, digital platforms, or urban spaces?
The ongoing developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning automation announce an imminent technological revolution like nothing we have ever seen. Our relation to traditional labor markets, artistic creation, and modes of education has already been drastically disrupted and will potentially change even more. It seems that we are witnessing the dawn of a new age in which human intellectual and productive capacities are outsourced to machines and human connection is mediated by algorithms in digital spaces.

E. Nicole Meyer, Augusta U (nimeyer@augusta.edu)
Throughout its consolidation as an academic discipline, museum studies have tended to gravitate around major national and international museums, their emblematic collections, and the management models they have established as standards. These institutions, mostly located in urban centers and supported by solid structures of funding, research, and public outreach, have shaped a “canon” that has influenced not only academic agendas but also collective imaginaries about what a museum is (and what it should be).
In 1966, Seamus Heaney published Death of a Naturalist, the collection that would launch his career and establish him firmly in the public eye as a poet of place whose local accents and autobiographical bent marked a new direction in twentieth century Irish poetry. In the same year, Heaney accepted a lectureship at his alma mater, Queen’s University Belfast, and made his first appearance on Ireland’s Late Late show, reading Blackberry Picking and gaining a mass audience thanks to the power of broadcast media.
We are excited to share with you all on behalf of the Conference Planning Committee for the University of Connecticut First-Year Writing Program that we are holding our 21st Annual Conference on the Teaching of Writing on Thursday, April 23, and Friday, April 24, 2026, on our campus in Storrs, CT. Our theme for the upcoming conference is: “Wicked Reading for Wicked Problems." As those who have collaborated with us in the past, we are once again inviting you to help us explore ways of approaching these 'wicked problems', such as those that evade consensus, offer multiple solutions, or may even resist resolution at all.

Special Session

This session will be devoted to academic novels and academic administration. Panelists will consider what these novels (as well as television and films centered in academia) have to say about how higher education institutions are run, and what we might learn about how—and how not—to run them. Equally interested in literary studies (genre, form, representation) and Critical University Studies (history, politics, current events).
Fat has been ever-present in public imagination in various forms. Fat is perceived as a
public enemy and “demonized in medicine and public policy” (Blank 2020). It is “adored by chefs
and nutritional faddists, desired and abhorred when it comes to sex, and continually courted by a
multi-billion-dollar fitness and weight-loss industry” (Blank 2020). Yet, ‘Fat’ as an area of
academic research has remained remarkably underdeveloped in the Humanities and Social
Sciences domain. Only recently, it has emerged as a vibrant interdisciplinary field that interrogates

Over the past 10–15 years, children, adolescents, and youth worldwide have lived through overlapping emergencies: the COVID-19 pandemic; intensified border regimes, migration control, and detention; racialized and colonial state violence; war and occupation; environmental disaster; and the erosion of social and educational safety nets. These crises shape not only early childhood, but also adolescent identity formation, schooling, embodiment, political consciousness, and future-making.
