Asian American Literary and Cultural Studies Panel (PAMLA 2025) (PAMLA 122nd Annual Conference)
San Francisco
Organization: PAMLA
Event: PAMLA 122nd Annual Conference
The Asian American Literary & Cultural Studies (general/standing session) is now accepting proposals for the annual conference of Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association (PAMLA), to be held in San Francisco from November 20-23, 2025.
The call-for-papers deadline is Thursday, May 15, 2025.
The Asian American Literary & Cultural Studies session invites proposals exploring various aspects of Asian American literary or cultural studies. The session seeks presentations that: engage across disciplinary boundaries (e.g., Critical Race Theory, Critical Mixed Race, Postcolonial, Feminist, Queer, Marxist, and New Historical Studies); make connections to issues in the field at large (e.g., transnationalism, biopolitics, aesthetics, memory); focus on texts not often discussed; or attend to genres not often represented in Asian American literary and cultural studies. “Texts” here is defined broadly to include visual, performing, and digital arts, film, new media, disciplinary landscapes, geographic terrain, the politicized body (and more). Proposals that engage with the conference theme (“Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion") or the conference location (San Francisco/Bay Area) are also welcome. Ultimately, we hope to address emergent issues to encourage robust conversations in the fields of Asian American Literary and Cultural Studies.
If interested, please submit a 250-500 word proposal and short bio by May 15, 2025 to https://pamla.ballastacademic.com/Home/S/19566
