Medieval Ecocriticisms seeks papers offering ecocritical, historical, archaeological, and other interdisciplinary approaches to water in the medieval world. Presenters may addresses questions such as: How did medieval peoples encounter / engineer water in their communities and bodies?

And, finally, what new approaches to water studies or blue humanities might we offer?

Medieval Ecocriticisms
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, September 15, 2025

This HYBRID session seeks papers that explore the ways ecocriticism intersects with, informs, or is expanded by other critical approaches, orientations, and disciplines. We encourage analyses that merge ecocritical frameworks with studies of gender/sexuality, queer identities, race/ethnicity, religion, dis/ability status, postcolonialism, Indigenous studies, or from methodologies outside of the humanities. What can dialogue across these intersections of medieval and modern temporal and spatial ecologies teach us and how can we think anew with them? We encourage proposals from graduate students and early career as well as more established researchers.

The CUNY Graduate Center French Department invites submissions for our Spring 2026 student conference on the theme of “étrangeté.”

Étrangeté evades easy translation. It encompasses "strangeness," "foreignness," and "otherness," offering expansive variability. Etrangeté inhabits both the self and the other. It arises through external judgment and internal reflection alike. It can be unsettling, absurd, and beautiful.

Adaptations and Retellings 2026

 Adaptations and retellings, much like nostalgia, are deeply tied to the past. They confront the challenges of integrating past elements into the present and often engage with each other in this process.

“Neurodivergent just means a brain that diverges.” – Kassiane Asasumasu, Radical Neurodivergence Speaking

The first year of Neurodivergent Studies at the PCA, in New Orleans in 2025, showed that there was marked interest in developing this field and expanding conversations. Neurodivergent Studies, a field that has long been relegated to more scientific study, is ready to move into different spaces as we start conversations about how neurodivergent approaches to popular culture, fandom, academia, and our own experiences can shape the way we approach the world.

ACLA 2026: Renegotiating Ethics in Literature and Film

updated: 
Thursday, September 11, 2025 - 3:34pm
American Comparative Literature Association
deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, October 2, 2025

The 2026 Annual Meeting of the American Comparative Literature Association will be held in person at the Palais des congrès de Montréal, February 26 - March 1, 2026.

In moments of rupture—whether personal, political, or planetary—narratives frequently stage ethical crises that challenge and destabilize established frameworks of responsibility, relationality, and judgment. How do literature and film illuminate the fragile, often invisible networks of moral obligation that bind us to one another, particularly when these ties are strained by trauma, contingency, or crisis?
