New Directions in Disability Studies Conference

2025 marks the 35th year since the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Though ADA advances have often been celebrated in mainstream media and the rights they support taken as secured, it has come under attack through rollbacks since 2016, and most recently by removing DEIA initiatives within the Department of Education. At the same time, national and international discourse community efforts through conferences and other open forums have grown more diffuse.  With this in mind, this conference, “New Directions in Disability Studies,” will reflect on where disability studies has come from and what it will be in the future.  

Who's Afraid of Areopagitica?: Milton and the Revolutionary Reader, Once More (RSA2026)

updated: 
Wednesday, May 28, 2025 - 2:12pm
Milton Society of America
deadline for submissions: 
Tuesday, July 1, 2025

The premise of this anticipated panel is that Areopagitica is a critical text for our age, so it’s time to reconsider it. John Milton’s 1644 argument against pre-publication censorship is lauded by some as an absolute defense of freedom of speech. But Areopagitica also advocates suppression of Catholic writings and allows for destruction of most everything else after its publication. Scholars have long considered whether this text provides a resource for advocates of freedom of expression and the press, a model of totalitarianism, or something else entirely. How might our own age of media revolution and debates about intellectual freedom recast our understanding of Areopagitica and its legacies?

Pleasure Regained: Having Fun with Milton (RSA2026)

Tuesday, July 1, 2025

As readers of Milton know, Milton’s writings are often humorous, titillating, outrageous – extra in today’s colloquial parlance. Of course, they are also challenging, but this too can be pleasurable. Studying Milton involves, simply put, serious fun. How might we rethink our affective approaches to Milton’s poetry and prose to spotlight not only their difficulty but also their recreation? What is at stake for Milton and for us in the pleasures derived from, for example, an over-the-top invective or a sarcastic God? What are sustaining and enlivening potentials in critical and creative practices, such as speculation, auto-criticism, and parody? And how might we mobilize these potentials in our writing and teaching to engage new audiences?

In his work AI Ethics, Mark Coeckelbergh describes humans as “meaning-making, conscious, embodied, and living beings whose nature, mind, and knowledge cannot be explained away by comparisons to machines” (36). Machine-assistant writing tools and other technologies have become increasingly prevalent as teaching tools in humanities classrooms, which means it is more imperative than ever we find ways to differentiate human and non-human meaning making and knowledge creation. Our panel is interested in exploring and mapping potential futures for the humanities as technology becomes an increasingly significant presence in how we teach and present our work in the classroom.
