VIOLENCE OF MEMORIES: RECLAIMING SPACES AND LOST VOICES IN SOUTH ASIA
Seeking abstracts for proposing a panel at UW-Madison Conference on South Asia, 2023.
Panel Abstract:
Seeking to illuminate an often marginalized space, this Clues theme issue will focus on female detectives who are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color); span eras, genres, and geographical locations; and appear in texts, TV programs, films, and other media. Of particular interest are intersections among race, indigeneity, gender, age, class, or sexuality in these works, as well as projects that center BIPOC authorship and scholarship.
Some Suggested Topics:
MLA 2024: Philadelphia (4-7 January)
T. S. Eliot Unsealed
With more of Eliot’s work and life available to view than ever before—nine volumes of letters as well as the letters to Emily Hale; new biographies of Hale, Vivien Haigh-Wood Eliot, and T. S. Eliot himself; all eight volumes of the Prose; and a documentary film—a new era of Eliot studies is underway. What can we expect?
Please send 200-word abstracts and a brief CV to Dr. Megan Quigley at megan.m.quigley@villanova.edu by 20 March.

This proposed volume of interdisciplinary essays reexamines the Federal Writers’ Project (FWP) as a labor project. We are working with a publisher to feature this book, Working through the Federal Writers’ Project: Labor, Place, Archive, and Representation, as part of a potential series on the FWP, on the burgeoning field of FWP studies, and on how FWP studies fits in the larger framework of labor studies. Labor, in this sense, is not a narrow category. It encompasses trade unions, working conditions, labor power, political economy, and the everyday reality of working lives.
Call for Submissions
The acceleration of diverse and converging crises—climate disaster and apartheid, environmental racism and resurgent ecofascism, ecocide and land grabbing—reinforce that environmental violence has become an unmistakable feature of contemporary life. Edge Effects seeks submissions that ask how violence is enacted through, for, and on environmental spaces, including land, water, and air.

The Graduate Student Representative for the Modernist Studies Association seeks paper proposals from graduate students and emerging scholars on the topic of “precarious modernisms” for a guaranteed MSA 2023 panel. In a rapidly shifting climate of academic precarity, what can modernism’s own precarities offer in the way of addressing our contemporary crises of the humanities? Panelists might consider, but are certainly not limited to:

THEME: Changing Media Landscapes: Convergence and Fragmentation
Media platforms have developed at an unprecedented rate recently, disrupting traditional
models for publishing, broadcasting, and advertising and creating a need for identifying new
models. As media become more fragmented and at the same time converge, implications can be
seen across several different areas, such as the way people access media, how media are
marketed, and how the media industry is changing.
