As editors of the Palgrave Handbook on Parenthood in Popular Culture, which is under contract with Palgrave Macmillan Press and includes 40 confirmed chapters, we are seeking one additional chapter on disability and one on non-parenthood. If you are a scholar working in either of these areas and are interested in contributing to the collection, please contact both editors as soon as possible, and we can discuss topics/upcoming deadlines. Final chapters of 6,500-7,500 words would be due by May 2024.

In Passage : The International Journal of Writing and Mobility, the journal of the Department of English of the University of Boumerdes (Algeria), seeks essays in English or French for its sixth issue, to be released in September 2024.  
 
 All the contributions should either be written in English or discuss questions that relate to the English-speaking world. They should fit within the broad scope of texts and mobility and their interconnectedness in the fields of literature, linguistics, and translation, among others. 

Suggested topics: 

- Travel literature and intercultural contact.

- Nomadism.

- Exile in literature

-  Literary genres and movements
