Volcanic Materiality in Literature and Art of the Anthropocene
Editor: Dewey W. Hall
Call for Contributions
Animal Studies Across Disciplines Symposium
April 7th-April 9th 2027
Arizona State University
Many scholars argue that we are now living in a new geological epoch—the Anthropocene—a name chosen to encapsulate an irreversibly transformed planet due to the rapid expansion of human populations, increasing exploitation of animals and natural resources, and pervasive pollution. The effects of the Anthropocene have been caused by only a small percentage of the world’s population, yet those living in the Global South disproportionately suffer the consequences. The Anthropocene, then, is just as much a social problem as it is an environmental issue.
Confirmed keynote speakers: Brendan McMahon (University of Michigan) and Franziska Schenk (artist and researcher, Birmingham City University)

Call for Proposals:
From Christopher Strachey’s Love Letter Generator to today’s generative AI writing tools and multimodal models, AI technologies are reshaping how literary works are created, adapted, and circulated across media. Texts can now be generated, illustrated, voiced, animated, and transformed into comics, audiobooks, visual art, and video, prompting renewed questions about creativity, form, authorship, authenticity, and human agency.This seminar asks: Can AI-generated literature and art be understood as forms of artificial creativity? Does AI expand, automate, or redefine human creativity? How does human–AI collaboration challenge traditional ideas of authorship and authenticity?
In Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV throws down a gauntlet: “When
human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain
profoundly human.” What does it mean to remain “profoundly human” in a technological society?
Are any of the advancements that we have come to perceive as essential to western standards of living
at odds with human flourishing? What are the implications, benefits, and costs of the relationship
between humanity and technology? The Braniff Graduate Student Association (BGSA) invites
undergraduate students in all liberal arts disciplines to consider these questions at the Braniff
Undergraduate Conference in the Liberal Arts (BUCLA) on February 5-6, 2027.

We are open to multiple gateways, literary and interdisciplinary, to War Literature and Trauma Studies.

Bringing together architecture, planning, sustainability, conservation, public health and community perspectives it is explicitly interdisciplinary and explores practical, critical and conceptual approaches to creating more resilient, inclusive, healthy and livable places.
Dublin itself provides a compelling setting for the event, combining historic neighbourhoods, Georgian architecture, modernist housing, docklands regeneration, expanding transport, diverse cultural history and sometimes contentious community issues.
