Actor/Audience Bodies in Early Modern Theater
How might actors' theatrical materiality interact with playgoers' bodies to shape perception and response in the early modern playhouse? Violence, gender, the supernatural, the non-human, cognition, theology, passions. Abstracts by March 28, 2015 to Sarah Outterson-Murphy (soutterson@gmail.com).
Doctor Who holds the distinction of not only being the longest running sci-fi series, but also one of the longest running prime-time series, ever. While numerous scholarship (both academic and non) has examined both the original series (1963-1989) and the rebooted series (2005-present), we are seeking to examine the historical and cultural contexts of the series, including topics such as the "missing" episodes, the show's place on the BBC, its global transmission, and branding of the series. (We will not be covering analyses of fandom or individual episodes.)
We welcome ideas for articles, but we are especially seeking proposals on:
The reception/transmission of the series internationally (past or present): BBC, PBS, SyFy, BBC America

In the history of science, it has been well-documented that institutionalized science and professional scientific circles actively and systematically excluded people from their ranks based on gender, race, and class. However, what has been underrepresented is the scientific work and endeavors of the marginalized groups themselves. This session seeks to recover some of these excluded voices and stories by investigating the creative, alternative ways that these groups participated in scientific discourse.
As the series editor for Engagements with Literature, a new series from Routledge, I am interested in receiving proposals for books that might suit the remit of the series, described below. The series launches this fall with two exciting titles—Engagements with Narrative and Engagements with Close Reading. Two other titles—Engagements with Nature Writing and Engagements with Contemporary Critical Theory—are in progress.
If you have an idea for a book in this series, please contact me at litengagements@gmail.com. I am open to considering any topics that may suit the description below. I would like to know what your experience is as a scholar, author, and teacher.

Saturday 16th of May, 2015
The novel as a distinct genre of prose emerged in the period of modernity. From the eighteenth century, marked by scholars as the period of the 'rise of the novel', to the late twentieth century, during which the trope of 'the death of the novel' gained cultural traction, the novel has sought to both draw upon and distinguish itself from other narrative genres, from history, biography, memoir, and travelogues, to film, television, and digital storytelling.
