CfP: Critical Perspectives on the Intersection of Breast Cancer and Academic Identity Abstract

This volume invites scholars who are either navigating breast cancer treatment or have traveled this path in the past. We hope to create a space for you to share how your experiences with breast cancer have touched and transformed your teaching, research, personal, and professional connections within your communities. Through your contributions, we aim to explore these profound impacts with empathy, adopting a feminist, transnational, and intersectional approach. This is an opportunity to reflect on and articulate the deeply personal ways in which breast cancer has intertwined with your academic life and beyond, fostering a compassionate and understanding dialogue rooted in critical, qualitative, and autoethnographic traditions.The primary aim of this volume is to critically explore how narratives and personal experiences related to the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer reshape our perceptions of identity, agency, and community dynamics, particularly focusing on the existing hea

Institución Milà i Fontanals de Investigación en Humanidades (IMF-CSIC, Barcelona) Resumen: La renovación de la historiografía sobre el carlismo de los últimos años bajo el paradigma de la historia de las culturas políticas ha permitido poner en valor la complejidad de una cultura política que tradicionalmente había sido retratada como maniquea y anacrónica. Así, ha podido mostrarse que dicha cultura política experimentó dos fases de renovación caracterizadas por su masificación (1890-1917) y fasc

CfP: Humanitarianism and Southern Europe: New Perspectives in (Re)Thinking the Transitions to Democracy

International Workshop. University of Florence, Department of Social and Political Sciences October 15th and 16th, 2024 This biennium (2024-25) marks the 50th anniversary of the end of authoritarian regimes in Greece, Portugal, and Spain. Their democratization processes have captured the attention of international and political historians, social scientists, and cultural researchers ever since. At the center of the inquiry have been questions related to the various and multifaceted changes ‘democratization’ brought to the public and private sphere, the legacies of anti-dictatorial struggles in forging new ideas of modernization, transitional justice and the evolving memorialization of the period. More recently, research on Southern Europe’s transitions argued for the need to adopt more transnational and comparative perspectives, to include new actors and understudied dimensions, and to expand the chronologies and geographies under study (also including the former Portuguese and Spanish

CfP: Edited book “Heritage, History, and Climate (in)justice” (Routledge) Editor: Mesut Dinler (Polytechnic University of Turin)

Contributions (chapters) are invited to be proposed for inclusion in the edited book "Heritage, History, and Climate (in)justice," intended to be published by Routledge, following a successful peer review process. Abstract submissions (250-300 words) should be sent by 15 April 2024.  Notification of Acceptance: 6 May 2024 Full Chapter (max 6000 words): 7 October 2024 Book Description: Climate change will exacerbate various forms of injustices and disparities that are deeply rooted in histories of colonialism, development, and industrialization (Chakrabarty; Nixon; Sultana, ‘The Unbearable Heaviness of Climate Coloniality’). The United Nations’ International Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) has already underlined that who contribute the least to climate change are the most vulnerable, revealing climate change impacts human rights, including health, water, food, education, housing, and an adequate standard of living, disproportionately affecting communities that contribute the le

CfP: (Call for Panelists): Recent Spatial Theory in the History of Science

Please find a call for panelists below for the upcoming History of Science Society (HSS) Annual Conference taking place in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, 7-10 November 2024. Additional information about HSS and the full CFP can be found here: https://hssonline.org/page/hss2024cfp Proposed Panel: Recent Spatial Theory in the History of Science The ‘spatial turn’ in the history of science demonstrated the importance of space (and place) not merely as a backdrop for thinking through the various histories of science but as a co-producer of scientific knowledge and understanding. Since then, the study of space has been applied to a variety of topics and questions. Yet, the idea that places build people and knowledge as much as knowledge and people build places suggests connections to a range of other theories and approaches that have yet to be explored. This panel invites discussion of the most recent approaches to spatial theory in the history of science and technology. How do scholars understan

CfP: Acts of Non-Violence, Signs of Healing - Movement and Bodies Annual Conference (Online)

Friday 10 May 2024 from 1 – 4.30 PM UK time Zoom (Online) This international conference explores the phenomenological turn to 'first relationships'. It assesses how attending to basic structures of relationship, through artistic perception, enables us to envision systems of healing and peace. This conference is for academics and artist-practitioners. It will finish with an interactive workshop led by Dr. Verónica Cohen (Paris). Each participant is invited to propose a short 15-minute presentation on the topic, through to their discipline of choice. This can involve exploring: the role between the artist as creator and therapist, the creator and collaborator paradigms, social prescribing paradigms and the role of the arts the art as symbol for bodied experience, the divergent phenomenological traditions of the body in its role as artist and responsible. A short abstract and title by 17 March is to be sent to movandcare@gmail.com . Participants are welcome without needing to p

CfP: Time in Nineteenth-Century Ireland

As we grapple with an accelerating digital culture defined by just-in-time deliveries, synchronous communication, instantaneous connectivity, and 24/7 availability, the 2024 SSNCI Conference aims to bring together researchers from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds to consider ‘time’ itself as a neglected dimension of Irish history. A critical approach to temporality in nineteenth-century Ireland and amongst the Irish diaspora might embrace a variety of methodological foci, from visual, dramatic and literary representations of time to its perception, measurement and use in everyday life. From the rise and fall of local ‘time zones’ to the disruptive ‘annihilation of time’ brought about by steam, locomotion and telegraphy, the emergence of modern synchronized ‘clock time’ accompanied seismic shocks in Irish life. Yet the playwright JM Synge’s claim to have introduced the first alarm clock to the Aran Islands in 1901 might best be taken as a prompt to explore the persistence of alt

CfP: Long-term waste, Slow disasters

Waste is considered ubiquitous and an inevitable outcome of living in “Late Industrialism.” (Fortun 2014). The cumulative outcomes of societies informed by ideas of growth have manifested in multiple ways thus not always readily visible to the eye. Waste depends on systems and infrastructures that remove unwanted or discarded materials in order to make problems of waste invisible and the system(s) seem coherent (Liboiron & Lepawsky 2022). While waste may seem inevitable in modern life, managing and administrating waste is both politically and socially contested and opens up questions of responsibility and expertise. The seemingly innocent packaging is connected to larger systems where economic ideas or technological advantages do not always provide adequate answers (or solutions) to a booming waste economy. Moreover, as historians have shown, global waste trade is deeply implicated in colonial and capitalist structures of exploitation (Müller etc) . “The future of plastic is in th
