We are especially interested in proposals that consider Lowell's work in light of today's "death studies." For example: Lowell’s own elegies, his memories of and reconstructions of predecessors and peers, his cemetery poems, his care poems, his commemorative publishing projects, his imitations of elegies by others, his prose about others. Panelists might also consider poems about Lowell, including but not limited to elegies.

We wish to explore the deep history and contemporary imaginings of Muslimness from the vantage point of songs, music and sound, literary studies, history, anthropology, dastangoi, oral historiography, and cinema. We aim to shed light on the multiperspectival and pan-national Muslim identification process as it also intersects with ideas of ideological homogenisation, modernity, and religious revivalism.
