This roundtable explores interdisciplinary methods of approaching the teaching of 18th-century British and Anglophone literature, including Restoration and Romantic literatures. Participants will share innovative pedagogical approaches and teaching strategies that bring students more fully into the literary, artistic, cultural, and historical worlds of these time periods. Discussion of the use of experiential and/or multimodal approaches in and outside of the classroom is particularly welcome. Abstracts should include a title and be no more than 300 words. Abstracts must be submitted through the nemla.org.

Pregnant teens and young mothers are often portrayed in negative and stereotypical ways by the popular media and in teen pregnancy prevention campaigns, like the one produced by the Candie's Foundation, which influences the ways in which pregnant teens and young mothers are perceived by the public and their conceptions of self. This site is currently accepting submissions, and it aims to serve as the intersection where the voices of young motherhood and academia come together to engage in critical thought and discussion about the issues that lead to young motherhood, whether intentional or unintentional, the issues faced by young mothers, and the way the media problematizes these issues.
"HABIT, my good reader, hath so vast a prevalence over the human mind, that there is scarce anything too strange or too strong to be asserted of it."

The Rutgers Long Eighteenth Century Trans-Atlantic Graduate Studies Group is seeking papers for a graduate conference March 3-4, 2016 on the topic of habit.
The 18th annual conference of the Space Between Society focuses on the concept of surveillance—watching, listening, recording—as it relates to literature, art, history, music, theatre, media, and spatial or material culture between 1914 and 1945. From the rise of totalitarianism to the dwindling borders of the British Empire, global citizens were under constant scrutiny as governments, artists, and documentarians developed new ways of listening in.
Wales has a distinctive national culture. The 2011 Census, however, indicated that the Welsh, like other British nationals, were becoming more culturally diverse. This is not surprising: the effects of the World imposing itself on Wales – industrialisation in the nineteenth century, for example – are continuous and impact profoundly on its literature.
Concept Note: This is a Call for Papers for an edited volume which attempts to enhance scholarship in the active and burgeoning field of Victorian and Neo-Victorian studies and incorporating its relevance to an Open and Distance curriculum where the Victorian period and its literary pieces form a core section of the Post Graduate course (you are welcome to have a look at the syllabus on the website under the school of Humanities). It thus aims at providing greater scope for research in the segment to Victorian scholars as well as creating a readymade source of reference for the learners of this University as well as for researchers in Victorian studies in general.
This panel invites submissions on the subject of disability as represented and narrativized in postcolonial literatures and cinema of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. How do these texts represent, complicate, and undermine the concept of disability? How do disabled characters function in these narratives and to what effect? How does disability intersect with issues of gender, class, race, and ethnicity? How does it inform the construction of citizenship?
Papers might address but are not limited to:
- Disability and war
- Disability, gender, and/or sexuality
- Disability on screen
- Disability and care
- Disability and international aid
- Disability and prostheses
Please note that the submission deadline for this panel has been extended to OCTOBER 15TH.
