Event: Grit-X Talks (Homecoming 2017)
Dr. Christine Mallinson, featured speaker.
Back by popular demand from our 50th Anniversary weekend, it’s Grit-X! Head to UMBC’s Black Box Theatre on Saturday, October 14, from 10 a.m. to noon, and be enlightened by some of the most intriguing alumni and faculty minds.
Dr. Christine Mallinson will be one of the speakers (Session 1 10 - 10:30 am). The title of her talk: The Social Life of Speech.
Language is one of our most basic human characteristics—using language is something we all do, all the time, every day. But there isn’t just one linguistic code that we use. Rather, language is a nuanced, complex social tool, naturally evolving over time and changing for different circumstances. Research on the English language examines how various segments of society use words, usages, and pronunciations in ways that reflect the cultures and identities of their speakers. In Baltimore, the language we hear tells us about our history as a city and reflects the diversity of the people who live here.

Call for Chapter Abstracts: The FLOTUS Effect
The Politics of Michelle Obama
Call for Chapter Abstracts
The FLOTUS Effect: The Politics of Michelle Obama
Though open about who she was and is, Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS), was framed as an enigma due to the novelty of her African American presence in what had previously been a White space and place--The White House. Her definitions of self as Mom-in-Chief, an advocate for healthy lifestyles, veterans, and education for girls proved mostly insufficient to move her from the margins of the American psyche to the center of one of the country’s most important stages. Her tenure as FLOTUS perpetually challenged the American imagination and its reality. A descendant of African slaves, her heritage could not be romanticized as a product of Kenya and Kansas like her husband’s, she rather was, and is, the embodiment of what many Americans would hope to wish away - a reminder of the nation’s original sin.
Michelle Obama received and responded to commentary and critiques regarding her body, fashion sense, how she mothered, and her White House initiatives; and she was not even an elected official. She was, however, a public figure and adviser to the president, as well as the first African-American woman to serve in the ceremonial role of First Lady of the United States during her husband, President Barack Obama’s two terms in office (2009-2016). She stepped into the spotlight during the 2008 presidential campaign as the wife of then-Senator Barack Obama who entered the presidential race of 2008; and went on to cultivate an agenda of her own through her White House initiatives on health, wellness, veterans, and education for girls. Her “Let’s Move” campaign or the “Joining Forces” initiative with Dr. Jill Biden are examples of her commitment to the American public, and America itself. Nevertheless, her detractors questioned how progressive Michelle Obama was as a symbol of the women of the United States; and, in fact, many suggested she was a polarizing figure that only spoke to a subset of the American population- namely African Americans. It is within the scope of these noteworthy events, namely the “effect” of the Obamas, and in particular, the impact of a FLOTUS who strived to make the role of First Lady her own, that this volume seeks to mine for understanding, insights, and opportunities to move forward. Additionally, the volume emphasizes approaching issues of Michelle Obama’s politics from the position of representations of her agency rather than positions of her being acted upon due to her politics.
Recognizing the literature highlighting the effects of Michelle Obama on popular culture, fashion, motherhood, and her role of supporting President Barack Obama, we invite chapters for an edited volume that explores of and surrounding the former FLOTUS as a political force. We seek to consider and interrogate the “effects,” short and long term, expected and unexpected, of Michelle Obama’s role as First Lady. Topics may include, but are not limited to, her perception of and her perceived legacy as the first African-American woman to serve in the White House, her positions taken on health and wellness, the commitment to address needs of veterans, her “controversial” statements made during public addresses/speeches, and her stances on issues related to gendered, and racial identities as well as the intersection of these and other identities.
We encourage various theoretical frameworks that allow for the breadth of Michelle Obama’s perceived politics to be explored. Submissions from academic fields such as: political science, history, American Studies, African American Studies, ethnic studies, media studies, philosophy, communication studies, social justice, performance studies/dance, sociology, and law are welcome. Essays from professional journalists, political consultants, community organizers, and others are also desired.
Abstracts (250-500 words) and short bios (100-200 words) should be submitted by Friday, October 27, 2017 for full consideration. Authors will be notified by Wednesday, November 10, 2017. Once selected, contributors’ abstracts and bios will be part of a proposal going forward to the Race, Representations, and American Political Institutions series of Lexington Press. Completed manuscripts are due by Thursday, March 1, 2018. Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed and should be submitted using Times New Roman 12-point font with 1” margins. Chapters should be a maximum 25 pages including references. The American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines for citation style should be utilized.
The editors for this volume:
Dr. Heather E. Harris (Howard University) is professor of communication in the Department of Business Communication at Stevenson University. She is the co-editor of the Obama Effect: Multidisciplinary Renderings of the 2008 Campaign (SUNY Press 2010). Her research focuses on representations of Africana women in media, and perceptions of the Obama presidency. Her research has appeared in edited volumes, and academic journals.
Dr. Kimberly R. Moffitt (Howard University) is associate professor in the Departments of American Studies and the Language, Literacy and Culture Ph.D. program and affiliate associate professor in the Department of Africana Studies at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). Her research focuses on mediated representations of marginalized groups as well as the politicized nature of Black hair and the body. She has published three co-edited volumes, including Blackberries and Redbones: Critical Articulations of Black Hair and Body Politics in Africana Communities (Hampton Press, 2010), The Obama Effect: Multidisciplinary Renderings of the 2008 Campaign (SUNY Press, 2010) and The 1980s: A Transitional Decade? (Lexington Books, 2011). She has also published her work in academic journals and several edited volumes. Her current research projects continue to explore the black body such as her work exploring white femininity in Disney’s The Princess and the Frog and the representations of Black males on Disney television programming. She also has a forthcoming co-edited volume on the popular television series, Scandal.

CFP: Our (Digital) Humanity
Storytelling, Media Organizing and Social Justice
As a conclusion to the Mellon Digital Humanities Initiative at Lehigh University, we will be hosting a remarkable conference April 20-22, 2018.
Our (Digital) Humanity: Storytelling, Media Organizing and Social Justice is an innovative community conference that will locate the budding field of digital humanities at the intersection of public humanities, digital scholarship, oral history, “media organizing” & social justice. Keynote Speakers include Malkia Cyril, Juan González and Suzanne Snider.
The conference will create an inter-generational convergence space for members of social movements, community based public historians, students, and activist-scholars to network, share their digital projects, offer digital capacity building trainings and strengthen collaboration.
ODH2018 is the culmination of a three year grant provided by the Andrew Mellon Foundation, and it will highlight some of what Lehigh faculty, staff and students have accomplished with local community partners-through the Mellon Digital Humanities Initiative as well as related scholarship and activism taking place regionally, nationally and internationally.
This is not your average academic conference. ODH2018 will emphasize local knowledge, work to create accessible spaces for people inside and outside of the academy, and create a memorable, kid-friendly experience that will include cultural programming and social events in addition to conference sessions and keynotes.
The Call for Participation deadline is November 15, 2017.

Event: Maryland Cultural Proficiency Conference
Morgan State University.
Maryland Cultural Proficiency Conference
Realizing the Equity Agenda: Courage, Leadership, and Resilience
October 24 – October 25, 2017
You are invited to join a diverse local and national leaders at the third annual Maryland Cultural Proficiency Conference to be hosted Tuesday, October 24 – Wednesday, October 25, 2017 at Morgan State University.
The theme: Realizing the Equity Agenda: Courage, Leadership and Resilience addresses an important time in the educational community as we take stock on both the meaning and implications of local discourse about equity, the national conversation on education, and its intersection with the imperative that we eliminate gaps in student achievement and outcomes while raising academic rigor make this moment paramount in our efforts. We will examine what it means to be courageous in a time of continuing demographic changes of the public school population, what it means to offer effective leadership serving the students who attend our schools today, and how we garner resilience to resist the temptation to be stagnant. We must continue our transformation toward responsive education that meets the needs of every learner.
This year’s keynote speakers are Drs. Frances Kendall, Lisa Williams, and Tanya Williams. There will be highly engaging and interactive sessions that you will not want to miss. For questions or to learn more about the conference, please contact Alyssa Piña at apina@bcps.org or 443.809.2444. We look forward to seeing you at the conference.

CFP: Interventions - Cultural Studies Association (CSA)
Sixteenth Annual Meeting of the Cultural Studies Association
Annual Conference
2018 Cultural Studies Association (CSA) Conference
Sixteenth Annual Meeting of the Cultural Studies Association (USA)
Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA
May 31-June 2, 2018
This Year's Theme: Interventions
The Cultural Studies Association (CSA) invites proposals from its members for participation in its sixteenth annual meeting. You must be a member to submit, but we always welcome new members and encourage past members to renew their membership. Proposals on all topics of relevance to cultural studies with be considered, with priority given to proposals that critically and creatively engage this year's highlighted theme.
For our 2018 conference, “Interventions,” we solicit proposals that intervene in the theory, practice, teaching, or conception of cultural studies. We are also interested in how cultural studies itself intervenes in existing social, cultural, and political formations. Cultural studies is poised to play a key role in how we understand our fraught politics, fragile environment, and fragmented economy.
We wonder, as we look back at the legacy of what Stuart Hall called the First New Left, if it is time for something like a new socialist project? Greece’s Syriza, Spain’s Podemos, and the Democratic Socialists of America all signal potential energy for new economic models. But Brexit, Trump, and the resurgence of reactionary ethnonationalism alert us to the fact that empty calls for intervention are often answered by the basest forms of cultural repression. Additionally, a vast array of social struggles do not find any place within the current economic frame. These emancipatory movements--anti-racism, anti-imperialism, anti-war, the New Left, second-wave feminism, LGBT liberation, multiculturalism, and so on--emerged at roughly the same time as the field of cultural studies, and it is through cultural studies that we might intervene to claim space for them. As highlighted by tensions within the 2016 Democratic primaries and general election in the U.S. over the intersection of class- and identity-based politics, the intervention of emancipation is as unfinished as the welfare state is diminished by the “neoliberal revolution” (Hall). Today’s counter-hegemonic movements face some of the same impasses, but with a new urgency; now more than ever, we need an intellectual intervention to help craft new tactics and strategies, to generate new syntheses of economic protection and political and cultural emancipation, and to draw on the lessons of the past and build solidarity for the future.
This year’s Cultural Studies Association conference will follow a one-day symposium on Wednesday, May 30th, hosted by the Humanities Center at Carnegie Mellon entitled “Karl Marx at 200: The Future of Capitalism and Cultural Studies.” We invite CSA members to attend the symposium, which features a lineup of established Marxism/Cultural Studies scholars who have been invited to circulate pre-written papers for the event. We hope this will provide an opportunity to use the bicentennial of Karl Marx’s birth to think about the role of culture in capitalism and how culture resists and reshapes the economy, as well as the contemporary relevance of Marx’s intervention and the role of Marxism in what Hall called “Cultural Studies and its theoretical legacies.” The CSA conference extends these themes beyond Marxism specifically to consider the intervention of cultural studies in general and the intellectual and creative labor of cultural studies in particular. How does culture construct, contest, and constitute new capital formations? How does it intervene in economic conditions in multiple and heterogeneous ways? Conversely, what is the role of the economy in shaping culture? What is the role of cultural studies as critical praxis in the present economic time?
Topics that might be addressed include but are not limited to:
- The privilege of interventions; what it means to intervene
- The materiality and spatiality of intervening
- Work and labor--public intellectual work, physical labor, post-industrial labor, the work of culture
- The culture industry and creative labor
- Social media campaigns and their relationship to so-called real world interventions
- Media interventions, fake news, and resistance to/ reinforcement of current hegemonic forces
- Intersections of intellectuals and activists
- Revolution or reform? Socialism or barbarism?
- Art and social action
- Literary, cinematic, and other textual interventions
- Capitalism, culture, and technology
- Strike! Riot! Strike!
- The politics of anti-fascism
- Historically specific interventions for equality and justice
- Pedagogies of cultural studies
- Interventions in sustainability, climate change, and the environment
- Market-led globalization and cultural resistance
- Securitization and militarization; the threat of the nuclear option
- Nation-making, nationalism, and rethinking the national form
- Immigration and the movement of people across national borders within the U.S. and globally
- The movement for Black Lives and its intervention in media, culture, and the academy
We welcome proposals from scholars from any discipline, inter-discipline, or scholarly field. The CSA aims to provide multiple and diverse spaces for the cross-pollination of art, activism, pedagogy, design, and research by bringing together participants from a variety of positions inside and outside the university. Therefore, while we welcome traditional academic papers and panels, we also encourage contributions that experiment with alternative formats and intervene in the traditional disciplinary formations and exclusionary conceptions and practices of the academic (see session format options listed below). We are particularly interested in proposals for sessions designed to document and advance existing forms of collective action or catalyze new collaborations. We encourage submissions from individuals working beyond the boundaries of the university: artists, activists, independent scholars, professionals, community organizers, and community college educators.
Important Dates:
- Friday, October 13, 2017: Submission System Opens (Membership and Registration also open. You must be a member to submit!)
- Friday, February 16, 2018: Last Date for Submissions
- Friday, March 2, 2018: Notifications Sent Out
