This panel proposes to examine the works of women writers from Africa and the African diaspora who have extensive oeuvres, which include creative work (often of multiple genres) as well as analytical writing (in forms such as essay, interviews, speeches, and other occasional pieces), to posit the argument that the creative work they produce performs theoretical work  in exploring the complexities, contradictions, and dilemmas facing the ever-changing postcolonial environment.

This panel addresses the emerging diasporic consciousness that accompanied the movement of people and changes in ecologies in the eighteenth century. Extending last year’s two-part roundtable “Eighteenth Century in Motion” to the question of Diaspora, participants are invited to consider questions including but not limited to:

While the ‘diasporic eighteenth century’ offers proliferating instances of movement, what are some ways to simultaneously consider communities and people subjected to increased physical, discursive, and representational confinement?

What are some circumatlantic relations that the diasporic eighteenth century allows us to consider?

4th Annual Humanities Podcast Network Symposium

Humanities Podcast Network Symposium
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 23, 2024

For our fourth iteration of the HPN Symposium, we find ourselves interrogating, engaging with, and pushing the boundaries of the concept of  “best practices” and how it relates to humanities podcasting. Our initial inquiry was born out of a discussion about the need to counteract worker invisibility and exploitation on university campus podcast teams. But this raised a larger, thornier debate: Are there other agreed-upon principles of podcast-making and audio creation?  If so, have they emanated from particular forebears and models, or sprung up out of habitual creation like unwritten, but widely understood, common laws? Are there contexts peculiar to podcasting that deserve their own careful ethical treatment or understanding?

Population and production are two terms used to characterize the nineteenth century in Great Britain. For example, the population in England more than doubled by the end of the century due to improving hygiene (i.e., hygeia), increasing birth rate, declining mortality rate (e.g., medical advances), and prosperity. Public health led to a greater commonwealth. The rise of the Industrial Revolution through factories, transportation (e.g., railway), and the synchronization of time stoked the great migration from agrarian to industrial centers. Would the population outstrip production? How could production evolve to keep up with the rising population?
