The 2026 NEXUS Interdisciplinary Conference invites current graduate students to submit abstracts for this year's conference at The University of Tennessee - Knoxville on April 17-18, 2026.
Women’s Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal is devoting a special issue to Genevieve Taggard, her career and legacy. Given the interdisciplinary nature of Women’s Studies, and the breadth and depth of Taggard’s multi-faceted artistic, cultural, and political undertakings, proposals are sought for essays that demonstrate Taggard’s wide-ranging literary and political legacy and her significance to our present moment.
Topics may include but are not limited to:
EGSA ANNUAL CONFERENCE (2026): GRIEF IN CONVERSATION
We are inviting chapter abstracts for an edited volume (potentially with Routledge) on Coffee Cultures in South Asia. The proposed volume aims to understand the evolving and emerging coffee cultures from an interdisciplinary perspective. In the process, attempting to curate a scholarship that explores the historical, collective, spatial, cultural, temporal, and transnational aspects of coffee consumption and cultures in the region --- cultures that are being shaped and reshaped by discourses on and practices of new, emerging, and specialty coffee, artisanal brewing, ecological discontents, and digital practices and trends. Submission is through Google Form only

Analyses that bridge early 20th century genre study with contemporary genre narratives and adaptations are also welcome.
