CFP “A Vision for Liberating Our Democracy” Conference, February 27–28, 2026
The conference builds on a growing body of research that examines the theological, cultural, and political intersections of democracy, citizenship, and power. Participants will investigate how worldviews and faith traditions have informed concepts of governance, belonging, and personhood from the founding era to the present. The conference will highlight not only the Haudenosaunee Influence on American Democracy but also the historic and present contributions to Democratic thought by Black, Indigenous, and Latine communities, contributions which are often forgotten and ignored.

Elmira 2026: The Tenth International Conference on the State of Mark Twain Studies
Conference Theme: Irreverence, Rebellion, and Resilience
Science Fiction & Fantasy (SFF) continue to offer new ways of considering the relationships between gender and genre. This conference is interested in how women – writers, characters, fans – use, negotiate, and operate in SFF.
We are particularly interested in papers that have an interdisciplinary and/or creative focus. We welcome papers which consider how this operates across multiple forms, including text, film, TV and videogames.
This conference is open to students and researchers at any stage of their career.
We are pleased to invite participants to a four-day intensive book reading workshop on Antonio Gramsci (online), focused on questions of hegemony, culture, subaltern politics, and political struggle. This workshop brings together students, scholars, researchers, activists, and readers for a sustained and collective engagement with Gramsci’s writings. Written largely under conditions of imprisonment and censorship, Gramsci’s work challenges us to think about power not only as domination, but as consent, culture, and everyday common sense.
