The Antiracism Permanent Section of the Midwest Modern Language Association (MMLA) is requesting abstracts from prospective panelists for this year’s in-person conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. With this year’s conference theme— “The Humanities is Where Hope Lives”—as a foundation, this section calls for scholarly work that connects antiracism work with hope along with resilience. When researching or performing antiracist work, there is the risk of focusing on the despair brought on by racism without highlighting ways communities have and continue to build and foster resilience. Potential questions to address include, but are not limited to: In what ways have communities developed narratives that highlight resilience and joy while doing antiracist work? What do narratives of hope and resilience look like amid heightened racial tensions? How can pedagogies surrounding antiracism focus on empowering students instead of viewing them as victims?
