PAMLA 2026 Steinbeck’s Complicated American Imagination

updated: 
Thursday, May 7, 2026 - 12:25pm
PAMLA
deadline for submissions: 
Monday, May 25, 2026

This panel invites discussions of Steinbeck's complicated imagination of American life and culture in his novels and nonfiction. Alternately fraught and adoring, critical and laudatory, his works attend with specificity to Americanness as a unique and discernible identity in the first half of the twentieth century. Especially encouraged are papers that attend to the tensions and disjunctures in Steinbeck’s descriptions of American society, including his treatment of gender, decolonial readings of his novels, and approaches that expose often contradictory relationships that extend among people, places, and power in his body of work.

Part of the PAMLA Conference in Seattle, WA from November 12, 2026 - November 15, 2026.

Resistance: A Journal of Radical Environmental Humanities
deadline for submissions: 
Saturday, August 15, 2026

2027 will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the passing of radical ecologist and labor organizer Judi Bari. Best known for her leadership in the 1990 Redwood Summer campaign in Northern California, Bari sought to overcome the entrenched division between environmentalists and timber workers by identifying corporate capital as the common force exploiting both labor and forests. Her politics extended beyond direct action and formal organizing to include music, storytelling as agitation, and public spectacle, all mobilized to cultivate ecological consciousness within a framework of working-class solidarity.
