In light of this year’s conference theme of regeneration—with its emphasis on engagement, collaboration, and the creation of powerful new entities—this roundtable explores how the humanities might regenerate through human–AI collaboration. As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into writing studies and classroom practices, human–AI teaming models (Gupta & Shivers-McNair; McKee & Porter; Knowles & Pedersen; Beddington et al.) have shown potential for positive outcomes in writing pedagogy. At the same time, they raise critical questions about voice (Tan et al.; Grey), the complexity of teacher labor (Ghafouri et al.), and agency issue (Yang), prompting us to reflect on what it truly means to co-generate/create with a machine.

Throughout recorded history, toys and games have shaped and reflected who we are. They inspire our play and fuel our development, both as individuals and members of society. As both carriers and changemakers of culture, toys represent and influence the collective spirit of their times – the Zeitgeist.
This session seeks papers that examine points of contact between different languages in Layamon’s Brut and in other prose and verse Bruts. Papers that focus on instances within the text where speakers of different languages interact are welcome, as are papers that take examine Layamon’s and other Brut authors’ methods of translating sections of source texts and/or incorporating other languages into their text. The session hopes to advance critical understanding of relationships between language and cultural or ethnic identity, language as a source of power or prestige, and translation as a way of conveying history to different audiences. What do perceptions of language tell us about the writers and readers of historical texts

Hello all!
We are delighted to share with you the Call for Papers for the upcoming GRACLS conference this November. Our conference, entitled “Configurations of Place and Death,” draws from the writings of Achille Mbembe to ask participants to consider the ways in which necropolitics shape how places and spaces are conceptualized and administered. The ubiquity of necropower as a determining force in the various ways in which humans inhabit the planet calls on us to engage with necropolitics as they relate to a vast array of fields and disciplines. Please see the attached CFP for a more in-depth description of the conference theme and suggested topics.
