Ireland in Psychoanalysis 2: Irish Shame Venue: University at BuffaloDates: 28-29th September Call for Papers
If we can infer anything from the myth of our expulsion from Paradise, it is that we humans are, or ought to be, ashamed of ourselves. Awareness of shame seems inherent to our social existence, and forms one intractable legacy of our self-awareness as a species. As self-conscious animals, we see ourselves in ways most animals do not, and we do not like all that we see. 

This panel seeks papers from scholars working across the disciplines interested in employing interdisciplinary or otherwise innovative methodologies aimed at facilitating teaching and learning about the Anthropocene at all levels.

Proposals for individual presentations are invited for the Comics and Graphic Narratives panel at the 2018 meeting of the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA). All papers dealing with comics and other graphic narratives will be considered. Papers utilizing media specific analysis, and papers with a strong connection to this year theme of "Acting, Roles, Stages" are highly encouraged. A visual component to the paper/presentation is also encouraged.

This years conference will be held in Bellingham, Washington and is sponsored by Western Washington University. The conference will be held between Friday, November 9, 2018 and Sunday, November 11, 2018.
