The College of Arts and Humanities at Bethune-Cookman University welcomes proposals for the annual Zora Neale Hurston Conference, which will be held virtually on February 13-14, 2025. Zora Rebooted: AI, Language, and Literature celebrates Hurston in the age of artificial intelligence and acknowledges the parallels between Hurston and AI in challenging and expanding our understanding of human creativity and identity. Noted Hurston scholar, literary critic, and writer Dr. Deborah Plant is the scheduled keynote speaker.

You are invited to submit abstracts for individual or panel presentations on Hurston, her many interests such as anthropology, music, and drama, on artificial intelligence, or on the exciting new intersections between literature, language and cutting-edge AI technologies. Format can be scholarly, pedagogical and/or creative, and presenters should not exceed 15 minutes. We also encourage submissions from community scholars and students.

Please submit 250–300-word abstracts by January 10, 2025, here:  https://forms.gle/xf2NWSzEtyfVZ6h58
