Furthermore grants assist nonfiction books having to do with art, architecture, and design; cultural history, the city, and related public issues; and conservation and preservation. We look for work that appeals to an informed general audience, gives evidence of high standards in editing, design, and production, and promises a reasonable shelf life.

The grants, ranging roughly from $1,500 to a maximum of $15,000, are awarded twice annually with application deadlines of March 15 and September 1. Funds apply to such specific publication components as writing, research, editing, indexing, design, illustration, photography, and printing and binding.

Book projects to which a university press, nonprofit or trade publisher is already committed and for which there is a feasible distribution plan are usually preferred. Recipients of Furthermore grants are located throughout the U.S. and occasionally abroad.

Grant applicants must be 501(c)3 organizations; applications from individuals cannot be accepted. They have included civic and academic institutions, museums, independent and university presses, and professional societies. While grant recipients must have 501(c)3 status, the book projects assisted by Furthermore sometimes result in trade publication.

Martha Burns' novel, Across the Narrows, will be released February 27th by Atmosphere Press and is available for preorder now.

Martha Burns writes, "The novel begins in Brooklyn, New York in 1924 and then unravels as sweeping family saga centered around a tragedy that leaves little room for forgiveness. Taking inspiration from my mother’s story, I sought to use fiction to arrive at her truth."

“Burns captures the details of the social milieu and extraordinary legal misogyny of the period.”

Childhood Trauma

Alex Idavoy is an Associate Professor of Spanish and ESL. He is the proud son of Cuban political refugees who were forced to flee the Communist Revolution of 1959. A first-generation college student, he was also the first in his family to earn an advanced degree. Alex is currently in the final stages of his Doctorate in Letters in Writing. His creative dissertation consists of a collection of short stories that address the immigrant experience, his identity as a Cuban American, and the transgenerational impact of exile and collective loss, as well as his very personal and private story of childhood abuse. A deeply taboo topic, Alex will share how sexual abuse by a family member affected him, and how—despite this deep trauma—he has flourished and forgiven himself, as well as the perpetrator. In his talk, Alex hopes to shed light on the darkness and shame surrounding this difficult experience many endure, yet few have the safe space to openly discuss.

From https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/religion-in-the-classroom-9781440872761/#:~:text=Description,state%20in%20the%20United%20States.:

An indispensable resource for understanding religion's place in American schools and in matters concerning the separation of church and state in the United States.

The framers of the American Constitution, in drafting the so-called "Establishment Clause" of the First Amendment-Congress shall not establish nor prohibit the practice of religion-intentionally juxtaposed two seemingly contrasting articles, understanding that we would grapple with these questions anew each day. And, indeed, we have.

This book treats the Constitution, and the First Amendment in particular, as a living document, one that requires interpretation and re-interpretation on a regular basis as our nation and its people evolve. The book begins with an overview essay discussing the background of the contemporary debate over religion in schools. A timeline then highlights key events related to religion and education. Approximately 50 alphabetically arranged reference entries follow. These focus on contemporary concerns and provide objective, fundamental information about events, legislation, people, and other topics. The entries provide cross-references and suggestions for further reading, and the volume closes with an annotated bibliography.

Call for Papers, Graduate Student Conference: Labor Past & Present: Bringing History and Activism Together (Columbia University, 2 February 2024, 9am-6pm). Deadline: 27 October 2023

# data[].attributes.body
The Columbia University (CU) History Department invites all graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to participate in the conference Labor Past & Present: Bringing History and Activism Together.

This conference will run on February 2, 2024, at Columbia University and is
jointly funded by the Columbia University History Department, the Institute for Social and Economic Research and Policy.

All abstracts are due by the end of day on October 27, 2023.

What value does history offer labor organizing today? How do contemporary labor movements inform the study of history? And how does centering non-traditional labor and underrepresented experiences in organizing and history help us better understand labor struggle past and present? Centering industries, workers, and people long marginalized by older history and older organizing, this conference gathers labor organizers and academics to examine these questions
together, and contends that scholars and activists have much to learn from one another.

International labor movements, immigrant and migrant labor, women, people of color, and non-traditional industries, such as cultural work and healthcare, are the focus of this conference. We seek proposals that engage these questions and themes. Proposals may focus on any time
period and geographic area, and may draw from any discipline, including but not limited to history, political science, social work, sociology, anthropology, diaspora studies, economics and law.

Abstracts for a 15-20 minute presentation should fit into at least one of the following
panels:
(1) Labor and Health (e.g., health justice, healthcare worker organizing, peer work);
(2) Labor and Cultural Work (e.g., athletes, artists, the “Creative Class”);
(3) Worker Internationalism, Migration, Immigration, and Labor

Panels will comprise three papers—at least one of which must be more historical in nature and at least one more focused on contemporary labor struggle and strategy. Applicants are encouraged to submit papers of either type, or papers that bridge both. Please feel free to submit papers individually or as a group if you feel one or more proposals are particularly
complementary. Please note that the organizing committee reserves the right to accept all proposals individually, even if submitted as a group.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Please submit a 250-300 word abstract outlining the topic and approach of your work in PDF format here by October 22, 2023.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScAos35_ykpQ4szGOb_JXgyU9GukLaAJK0KrUSbW6MyC8wp4g/viewform

Limited financial assistance will be available to support panelists’ travel and lodging expenses.

Please reach out to the conference organizers with any questions.

Organizers: Juliana DeVann (jad2265@columbia.edu), Samuel Niu (sjn2129@columbia.edu),

(from Senator Bob Menendez:)

Good afternoon,

I am reaching out because we are five days away from our 13th Annual Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration on Sunday, September 24th at 2:30pm at Union City High School. This event is about celebrating all the contributions the Latino community has made to the historical, cultural, artistic, and economic fabric of America, as well as the growing cultural diversity and inclusion that make New Jersey the best state to live, work, and raise a family.

I am thrilled to announce that award-winning songwriter, actor, director, and producer Lin-Manuel Miranda will serve as this year’s keynote speaker. From “In the Heights” to “Hamilton,” Lin-Manuel's contributions to the performing arts are as rich as they are numerous. His works have highlighted not only history, but also the people and stories that make our nation so beautiful. Beyond his artistic achievements, Lin-Manuel’s civic activism has improved the lives of countless individuals here and in Puerto Rico and we are grateful for his selfless generosity.

This celebration is free and open to the public. Free food will be available for all participants. So, RSVP today and join us this Sunday, September 24th in celebration of the rich, diverse Latino community that calls New Jersey home.

Get ready for a fun afternoon of celebration, music, and so much more.

“Fallist Movements and the Curriculum: Reflections on Teaching and Learning from the University of Cape Town”

Wednesday, September 13
6:30 - 8 p.m. in Learning Center 28
(Reception 5 - 6 p.m. Mead Hall Founders Room)

On 8 March 2015, student activist Chumani Maxwele emptied a bucket of human feces on a statue of colonialist Cecil John Rhodes perched prominently at the University of Cape Town campus. That act catalyzed countrywide student movements against legacies of colonialism and apartheid that persist in South African higher educational institutions. Described as #RhodesMustFall and #FeesMustFall [#RMF and #FMF] movements, South African student actions against institutional racism, unaffordable education and Eurocentric curriculum spurred parallel struggles and global debates about what it means to decolonize universities and academic disciplines birthed in the heydays of imperial expansion. This presentation re-visits moments, impulses and imperatives that have been formative for those of us living, teaching and learning in the wake of the #RMF and #FMF movements. It reflects on what it means to inhabit an institution known for its complicities in apartheid but one which is also seeking to transcend them; it draws on curricular, pedagogic, personal and political struggles that mark life in the much celebrated “top university” in Africa, which has also historically fostered “pain and divisions” amongst its students and staff. I offer these reflections with the belief that struggles to grapple with epistemic, structural and symbolic violence in spaces of learning are shared across hemispheres. Attempts to teach and learn in more equal and just ways that have unfolded in South Africa will, I hope, be generative for colleagues elsewhere.

Arts of Respect 2023 Fellows at Drew; Deadline: 30 March 2023

# data[].attributes.body
Purpose:
The Center on Religion Culture and Conflict invites applications for the 2023 Arts of Respect - Paul Drucker Fellows Program. The goal of Arts of Respect (AOR) is to promote greater understanding and
respect using the arts as a medium of communication expression. AOR, established in 2009, is endowed by a generous gift from Dr. Paul Drucker (C ’51) and hosted by Drew’s Center on Religion, Culture & Conflict, which endeavors to end hatred and mere tolerance, and promote mutual respect.

Drew students are invited to apply for funding, up to $1000, to support a project involving a project in the arts that explores the theme of RESPECT, and provokes conversation about the challenges, barriers
to, aspirations and possibilities for RESPECT in our communities. Arts of Respect applicants are encouraged to be creative and innovative in the interpretation and application of the theme to their projects.

Project Guidelines and Criteria:
Arts of Respect Fellows must prepare an artistic project that will culminate in a public
presentation/exhibition for the Drew University campus community. Events can include, for example, a poetry slam, music coffee house, video presentation, workshop for students, gallery exhibition, concert on campus for students, publication of a zine, online video or blog.
In addition, Fellows are expected to participate as a student leader in the coordination of all Arts of Respect events, attend the presentations of other Fellows throughout the grant cycle, and support
Fellows' work at the annual Arts of Respect showcase. Priority will be given to projects that reach a larger number of people (participants, audience).

AOR 2023
Deadlines
Apply by March 30, 2023. Upload via the CRCC website: https://drew.edu/center-religion-culture-
conflict/about-us/programs-events/drucker-fellows-program/
Direct link: https://forms.gle/zNt46xPUeJXZ8ATTA
All projects must be completed by September 2023.

AOR Fellows must submit a summary report
(including a description of activities, number of participants, accounting of expenditures, reflection on how the faculty mentor supported you as AOR Fellow, and the impact of this project on you as an artist and as a Drew University student) by December 1, 2023.

Funding Amount:
- A maximum of $1,000 per request. The Center of Religion Culture and Conflict sets the funding limit and reviews it periodically. The limit may vary according to the size of the budgetary allocation and the number of applications received in a given year.

The American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning at the City University of New York Graduate Center will host a National Endowment for the Humanities institute in Summer 2023 for 25 college and university teachers to study the visual culture of the American Civil War and its aftermath. This sixth iteration of the institute will focus on the era’s array of visual media—including the fine arts, ephemera, photography, cartoons, maps, and monuments—to examine how information and opinion about the war and its impact were recorded and disseminated, and the ways visual media expressed and shaped views on both sides of and before and after the conflict. The institute will take place in-person.

Institute members will participate in seminars led by noted historians, art historians, and archivists, and take part in hands-on sessions in museums and archives.  A team of three institute faculty that represents the range of work in the field will introduce participants to the rich body of new scholarship that addresses or incorporates Civil War and postwar visual culture, conduct individual  conferences to do further research, and help them to use visual evidence to enhance their scholarship and teaching.

Faculty: Louise Bernard, Michele Bogart, Joshua Brown, Sarah Burns, Gregory Downs, Aston Gonzalez, Matthew Fox-Amato, Hilary N. Green, Lauren Hewes, Dominique Jean-Louis, Turkiya Lowe, Amy Mooney, Susan Schulten, Scott Manning Stevens, Donna Thompson Ray, and Heather Andrea Williams.

Ann Hedges McKinstry Micou, DLitt 2014 (1930-2022)

# data[].attributes.body
One of our alumni, Ann Hedges McKinstry Micou, who earned her DLitt at Drew at the age of 84 in 2014, passed away on 30 December 2022 at the age of 92.

https://montclairlocal.news/obituary-ann-hedges-mckinstry-micou/

Professor Laura Winters, who worked closely with Dr. McKinstry-Micou on her dissertation, writes that "she was a beautifully educated woman of the world."

Professor Bob Ready writes that "She was a gifted, creative intellectual, citizen of world literature, and exquisite, powerful writer."

Our condolences go out to her family and friends.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Ann Hedges McKinstry Micou, formerly of Montclair, an educator and writer who worked in international efforts for social justice and economic development, including the fight against apartheid, died on Dec. 30, 2022, at Crane's Mill independent living community in West Caldwell. She was 92.

Mrs. Micou was born in 1930 in Santa Barbara, California, the youngest daughter of Gen. and Mrs. Charles Hedges McKinstry. She graduated from Concord Academy in Massachusetts, and received a bachelor's in English, Phi Beta Kappa, from Mills College in Oakland, California, in 1952 and a master's in nonprofit management from the New School in New York in 1982. In 2014, at the age of 84, she earned a doctorate in American literature at Drew University.

She was married for 56 years to Paul Micou, a United Nations officer, who died in 2011, and with whom she raised two children, Julie Micou Cerf and Paul Micou, both of Montclair.

Mrs. Micou began her career as a high school English teacher in San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Later, she lived with her family for five years in Turkey and Iran during the 1960s and early 1970s. The Micou family traveled widely around the Middle East, visiting historical and archaeological sites, and learned Turkish and Farsi, accompanied by their Turkish sheep dog, Tutie, to whom she was particularly devoted.

In Ankara, Turkey, she edited the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics at Hacettepe University; in Tehran, Iran, she taught American literature at Pars College. She also wrote two books while in Iran, "Handbook for Iran" and "You Already Know Persian," both published by the American Women's Club.

Back in the United States in 1972, she and her family lived in Wilton, Connecticut, from which she commuted to Manhattan for 26 years.

At World Education, Inc., an organization dedicated to improving people's lives around the world through education and social and economic development programs, she was responsible for producing newsletters and annual reports for eight years, and for five years at the United States Council for International Business as director of communications.

At the Institute of International Education, during the period immediately before the fall of apartheid, she directed for 12 years the Southern African Information Exchange, producing dozens of directories on resources for anti-apartheid groups.

She traveled to southern Africa 40 times and published numerous papers on human rights and the role of voluntary organizations in emerging democracies. During this time, she developed close relationships with colleagues working at anti-apartheid voluntary organizations in South Africa and told vivid tales about their courage and bravery.

In 1999, she and her husband moved to South Newfane, Vermont. During the next decade she wrote a series of guides to literature set in Vermont that were published by the Vermont Humanities Council.

In 2009 the couple moved to Montclair to be near the Cerf family. After completing her doctoral degree, she began working as a writing consultant at the Center for Writing Excellence at Montclair State University in 2015; she retired in 2019.

She was a member of the Montclair Women's Club, where she indexed and archived many years of the club's former magazine, Quest, producing a social history of the club's membership in the early 20 th century.

Mrs. Micou's career was complemented by terrific zest for life, for family, for elevated conversation, for travel and for what she called "making the world a better place." Still passionate about this in her late 80s, she volunteered for the Petey Greene Program at Northern State Prison in Newark, tutoring incarcerated adults studying for high school equivalency diplomas.

In addition to her daughter and son, she is survived by her son-in-law, Monty Cerf; her five grandchildren, Olivia, Charlotte and Jason Cerf and Charles and William Micou; her sisters, Sally Hall of Santa Barbara and Evelyn Thorne of New York City; one great-grandchild and many nieces and nephews.

Services were private.

Donations may be made in her memory to continue the work of the Petey Greene Program at tinyurl.com/HonoringAnn .

Arrangements were by Compassionate Cremation Services, Clifton.

CFP: University of Maryland Graduate Interdisciplinary Conference: "Binaries," hybrid/in person (March 2023). Submission deadline: 2 December 2022

# data[].attributes.body
The University of Maryland’s Graduate English Organization invites proposals on the topic of “Binaries” for our 16th annual conference, to be held hybrid/in-person on March 3rd, 2023.

Coming from the Latin bīnārius, the Oxford English Dictionary defines “binary” as “Of, pertaining to, characterized by, or compounded of, two; dual.” While this can be seen on one hand as collaborative and additive, binaries are also often understood as oppositional or dichotomous.These competing definitions, then, form a complicated interpretational binary.

This interdisciplinary conference welcomes papers that critique binaries and binary systems in all of their forms: their rigidity; their useful means of categorization; their failure to capture complexity; their inherently oppositional nature; their tendency for both collaboration and division; their reality. How can interrogating binaries in literature, film, television, (video) games, pedagogy, the arts, and other media forms help us to tackle concerns in humanistic disciplines? How, when, and why should we embrace or resist binaries and binaristic thinking?

Abstracts of 250-300 words should be submitted to englgeo@umd.edu by December 2nd, 2022. We welcome submissions both creative and critical. Potential presentation topics can focus on a wide range of issues including (but not limited to):

Gender & sexuality

Digital / analog

High art / pop culture

Fact / Fiction (or post-truth)

‘Ivory Tower’ / public humanities

Privacy / Performance

Dis / ability

Space & time

Genre, emotional, or aesthetic binaries

Clues CFP: “Teaching Crime Fiction as Creative Writing” (submissions due 1 February 2023)

# data[].attributes.body
Historical crime fiction, or detective fiction using historical settings, has long been an important strand of the mystery genre. Well-placed to provide pleasures similar to armchair tourism combined with the potential to convey historical knowledge through the crime fiction's focus on the quotidian amidst larger cultural landscapes, over the decades historical crime fiction has ranged from the whimsical to the didactic, offering insight into the author's own time period and that of the historical setting.

This theme issue of Clues seeks to explore the richness of historical crime fiction written in, and about, any time period. Topics of interest might include the following:

• Works by major figures in the field and by lesser-known or neglected authors

• Historical series or standalone titles

• Intersections with (historical) true crime

• Historical crime fiction with wartime settings

• Connections with the gothic

• Works that use the mystery as a vehicle to illuminate specific historical circumstances of women, immigrants, and/or racial/ethnic minorities

• Interplay between the historical and other crime-fiction subgenres (e.g., police procedural, cozy)

• Integration of historical research with the conventions of the mystery genre

• Literary pastiche; mysteries featuring literary figures or their authors as sleuths (e.g., Sherlock Holmes, Jane Austen)

• Forays into the historical by authors known for other detective modes (e.g., Agatha Christie)

Submissions should include a proposal of 250–300 words and a brief biographical note. Full manuscripts will be due in early March 2021.

I n 1773, Phillis Wheatley (later Peters) published Poems on Various Subjects Religious and Moral, which was the first book of poetry published by an African American woman. Wheatley's work blends classicism with rich natural imagery and a deep spirituality, and she is now widely taught in Anglo-American literary traditions and beyond.

This roundtable will bring together three leading scholars on Wheatley Peters, who will reflect on the significance of this book of poetry and its legacy at 250 years:

Tara A. Bynum, Assistant Professor at the University of Iowa

Brigitte Fielder, Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison

Call for Papers: Annual Dean Hopper Conference (Drew University, 23 March 2023), Modes of Belonging: Kinship, Exile, and Translation. Deadline: 11 January 2023

# data[].attributes.body
Please send abstracts to Hopper@drew.edu by 11 January 2023: The conference organizers welcome abstracts of no more than 250 words, and panel proposals of not more than 750 words.

We especially welcome reflections on the following themes:
● Immigration studies
● Borders and borderlands
● Translation and translocality
● Models of kinship (genealogical, biological, ancestral, fictive, etc.)
● Exilic and postexilic writings (communal, autobiographical, etc.)
● Struggles of belonging posed by climate change and climate crises
● Refugees and the challenge of multiculturalism
● Intellectual and cultural histories of “belonging”
● Religious belonging
● Exodus: The book, its themes, and its afterlives
● Diaspora and the nation-state
● Postcolonial melancholy and utopianism

In a time of constant fatigue and anxiety caused by economic, political, and climatic catastrophic events, we are faced by dilemmas that are at their core about belonging. Take, for instance, the current focus on Ukrainian refugees and how they have been received differently than Syrian refugees. While in the latter case, we are told of a “refugee crisis,” the former is perceived as a duty Europe owes to Ukrainians because they are Europeans. In other words,
Ukrainians “belong” in Europe.The present moment, therefore, calls for a historization and reimagination of major concepts in our debates about belonging.

To complicate this concept, we turn to interdisciplinary work that employs ideas of translation, kinship, exile, and diaspora to expose the elasticity of “belonging.” For instance, we ask what understandings of belonging have contributed to the hostile discourse we witness regarding immigration? How might politicians have shaped this discourse? Some scholars, such as Keguro Macharia, have named how political leaders rely on biological kinship and other “genealogical models to generate social and cultural legibility,” to gird up national collective identity and sympathies. Yet, in doing so, they often perniciously privilege “reproductive heteronormativity” at the expense of other forms of belonging or relationality.
We may also think of exile and diaspora as an alternative site that complicates our theorizing of belonging. In Reflections on Exile and Other Essays, Edward Said writes, “Exile is... the unbearable rift forced between a human being and a native place, between the self and its true home: its essential sadness can never be surmounted.” One interpretation of this statement might suggest that Said is reinforcing an idea that one only belongs to their place of birth or their “native place.” What might be a way to think about exile beyond this notion of “insurmountable uprootedness”? Following Mary Jacobus, we consider whether belonging must be intimately bound up with a notion of a past home. Her use of “translation” as a mode of analysis highlights how, far from simply being an instance of moving “from one language to
another,” translation is also moving “from one place to another–translocation.” Translation enables the experience of “becoming foreign” that gestures toward a cosmopolitan vision of a world without borders. Thus, rather than exploring a melancholic return to the past home, what might be produced when we take, as Nadia Ellis suggests, an utopian diasporic horizon as our imaginary for belonging?

The 10th annual Dean Hopper Conference of Spring 2023 (March 24) will examine these and related questions, seeking interdisciplinary engagements with the notion of “belonging” in cultural, historical, political, and theoretical contexts. We invite papers engaging with the intellectual and cultural history of belonging, and related topics like home, kinships, translation, exile, migration, both from historians and other scholars and from activists working in the field.
Submissions from graduate students, postdocs, and early-career faculty are encouraged. This year’s conference will be hybrid in its modality; as such, we also welcome submissions from individuals to present via Zoom as well as in-person.

Healing practices are often central to the study of religion. In certain contexts, religion—as essence, spirit, cosmology, belief—is specifically valued because of its potential for healing. What processes, movements, and epistemological or physical structures make productive spaces for healing? How can we think about healing to move via and past the physical, interrogating ways of being through time, place, and space? How can relationality, place-based thinking, and embodied ways of knowing come together to form a collective consciousness around healing when framed as well-being, care, mindfulness and gratitude?

"Open Data: Reuse, Redistribution, and Risk" A daylong symposium hosted by the American Philosophical Society, June 2-3, 2022. Proposals due 7 January 2022

# data[].attributes.body
The American Philosophical Society’s Library & Museum invites scholars in all fields to submit paper proposals for a daylong interdisciplinary symposium that will explore the opportunities and challenges of open data and digital humanities. As institutions have made datasets accessible for re-use, remixing, and redistribution, individuals have been able to produce new useful knowledge beyond restrictions or control. Classrooms and Digital Humanities projects have created powerful visualizations and complex analyses which shed new light on important historic and contemporary issues. Yet the increasing availability of these sources has raised important questions about intellectual property, attribution, labor, and data sovereignty.

The symposium is inspired by the Open Data Initiative (https://diglib.amphilsoc.org/data) of the Center for Digital Scholarship at the American Philosophical Society. This initiative has created freely accessible datasets (https://github.com/AmericanPhilosophicalSociety) from the APS’s Library & Museum holdings, including the Eastern State Penitentiary Records of Admissions, 1838-1850; Benjamin Franklin's Ledgers; Records of Indentures and Apprenticeships in the Port of Philadelphia, 1771-1773; Benjamin Franklin's Accounts; and James Madison's Montpelier Meteorological Records, 1784-1793, as well as various digital humanities projects derived from this data. See more here (https://www.amphilsoc.org/center-digital-scholarship#paragraph-395).

The APS’s Library & Museum invites innovative proposals from scholars for this symposium. Potential topics include (but are not limited to):

Historical perspectives on the use and access to data;

Papers that explore the opportunities and challenges of different types of data, including the ways in which scholars from all fields are using open data and applying its insights as well as the misuse and manipulation of open data;

The relationship between open data and intellectual property rights, copyright, licenses, and other use-restrictions;

Privacy, sovereignty, and open data;

Data ethics;

Social implications of automation and data-centered technologies;

Labor practices and open data;

New technologies and tools, such as artificial intelligence, linked open data, and machine learning;

New scholarship derived from open data;

The ability for open data and the digital humanities to uncover marginalized voices;

Sustainability.

Applicants should submit a title and a 250-word proposal along with a C.V. by January 7, 2022 via Interfolio: https://apply.interfolio.com/98433

Decisions will be made by February 2022.

The symposium will be held in-person June 2-3, 2022. All presenters will receive travel subsidies and hotel accommodations. Accepted papers will be due a month before the conference and pre-circulated to registered attendees. Papers should be no longer than 15-double spaced pages. Presenters may also have the opportunity to publish revised papers in the APS’s Transactions, one of the longest running scholarly journals in America.

Columbia University's Religion Department is hosting its Annual Graduate Student Conference (Spring 2022) on Race, Racism, and Religion: Absences and Silences, Histories and Methodologies. We are interested in how the categories "race" and "religion" have been historically co-constructed. Our goal is to interrogate historical disciplinary silences and absences, investigate histories of race and racism in the study of religion across subfields and geographic specializations, and seek out new theoretical and methodological frontiers in the study of race and racism in relation to religion.

The conference will be held on March 25-26, 2022 on Zoom and will include a closing panel discussion with Professors Zain Abdullah, Anjali Arondekar, John L. Jackson, Jr., and Alexis Wells-Oghoghomeh.

Abstract submission details and deadlines, and suggested themes, can be found in the call for papers at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m4cR-uZf-9_FXjpfDAtzPvi3ibyTKwRF/view?usp=sharing.

Priority will be given to those who have demonstrated innovative pedagogy in social studies and history, and whose proposals make a compelling case about the ways materials available only at the Schlesinger Library will be incorporated into the applicant’s curriculum plans.

The library’s special collections document over two centuries of United States history, from abolition to transgender rights. Manuscripts, books, periodicals, audiovisual material, photographs, and other objects make up the collections. These materials illuminate the lives of ordinary women as well as American icons such as suffragist Alice Paul, Harlem renaissance writer Dorothy West, civil rights activist Pauli Murray, feminist Betty Friedan, the Republican Party activist Anna Chennault, poet June Jordan, chefs Zarela Martinez, and zine author Cindy Crabb, among many more.

The awards may be used to cover travel and living expenses, photocopies or other reproductions, and other incidental research expenses, but not for the purchase of equipment or travel to other sites for research.

Over 1,700 book reviews of Charles Darwin’s works go online

Over 1,700 book reviews of Charles Darwin’s works go online

# data[].attributes.body
Launched online are the results of over sixteen years of research, finding and collecting contemporary book reviews of Darwin’s works by the Darwin Online project, directed by Dr John van Wyhe. It is the largest collection of reviews ever created for a historical man of science- and probably for any person in history. There are over 1,700 reviews in sixteen languages spanning the years 1835 to the early 20th century.

This new collection will make possible countless new studies, theses and student projects based not on the usual handful of well-known reactions to Darwin, but a near comprehensive picture of the reactions to one of the greatest scientific developments in history.

The collection of reviews is freely available and searchable on Darwin Online:

Webinar Panel Discussion on Thomas Kohut’s "Empathy and the Historical Understanding of the Human Past": Monday  29 November 2021, 5PM EST (registration required)

# data[].attributes.body
Joining Kohut for this discussion will be Jane Tillman, Frank Biess, and Marion Kaplan.

Thomas Kohut's Empathy and the Historical Understanding of the Human Past considers the role of empathy in historical knowledge, informed by fields of study including history, psychoanalysis, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and sociology. The book seeks to raise the self-consciousness of historians about their use of empathy to know and understand past people. Thomas Kohut argues that historians need to be aware of their observational position, of when they are empathizing and when they are not. Indeed, Kohut advocates for the deliberate, self-reflective use of empathy as a legitimate and important mode of historical inquiry.

Eck: A Romance is published by Atmosphere Press:

Goleman Eck is an abortion survivor. Literally. As such, he is subject to other people’s uses of him for political, religious, and media purposes. Some for whom he “doesn’t look right” threaten his life. Others know Gole as a lover or true friend.

Whirling together the contemporary outrageous and the serio-comic, Robert Ready’s Eck: A Romance is wholly new fiction, a quest for identity, purpose, love—even what it means to be alive.

Let’s see what we can build in just 30 minutes a week. Every Wednesday, 12-12:30 PM (starts October 13). Everyone is welcome.

In the Medical & Health Humanities and Arts & Letters, practitioners value poetic knowledge as an intimate way of knowing that is prerational. It gives us a deeper understanding of the experiences of people with their lives and professional roles. In Poetic Knowledge, The Recovery of Education, Taylor (1998) wrote about the loss of a kind of knowledge after the Cartesian revolution in philosophy that used to be an essential part of human beings’ ability to know. The purpose of these sessions is to enjoy poetry and reflect on its meaning for our lives, work, and studies.
