CFP 2020 National Humanities Conference in Indianapolis, November 5-8
Indianapolis is nicknamed the “Crossroads of America” because of its historic location along the old National Road and current site where four major interstates intersect. The conference convenes days after a presidential election, which like all national elections, is a crossroads, offering the opportunity to reflect on how we have arrived at this point and where we are heading.

CFP The Urban Question Symposium, April 17
In the wake of the so-called “urban turn” (Prakash 2009) in the humanities and social sciences in recent years, this one-day symposium will investigate the possible frameworks through which the city emerges as an object of analysis in the various disciplines of literary studies, history, geography, and film studies. The city itself has evolved into something that transgresses the traditional formations of the urban and rural, the fictional and the material, the state and institutional, and the resistant and popular. But we might also ask whether these are the strata of Marcus and Van Kempen’s (2000) “layered city”; or whether these different trajectories create a “quartered city”; or what geographers Stephen Graham and Simon Marvin (2001) provocatively call “splintering urbanism.” More
DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 12, 2020 (INITIAL INTEREST)
CFP Dispossession in Motion, April 3-4
Scholars of urban political economy, postcolonial and ethnic studies have investigated dispossession as non-possession, extraction, usurpation, deprivation, and denial of land, labor, and resources. They have exposed the violence of capital accumulation, and colonial and imperial expansion. Other lines of inquiry have shown how dispossession can be liberatory of the normative constructions of race, gender, and sexuality that have been ingrained through modes of social regulation.
Dispossession in Motion builds on this scholarship while focusing on movement to investigate new conceptual, affective, and political spaces of dispossession, non-possession, and repossession. We propose to interrogate practices and poetics emerging at the intersection between dispossession and movement and configuring spaces (buildings, structures, vehicles, human bodies, objects, artifacts) across scales (nations, regions, cities, neighborhoods), textures (materials, surfaces, visual appearance), states (motion, stability, stillness), affective projections (hope, atmospheres, emotions), and timeframes (biological, generational, historical).

CFP Connections: Exploring Heritage, Architecture, Cities, Art, Media
As the Western world comes to deeper understandings of its heritage in the 21st century, technology is ever more present in our reading of the past. Data mapping is standard in conservation and social history; archaeologists use digital tools in laser scanning and geophysics; landscape and architectural visualizations populate museums across the world. As the tools we use today merge and blur across disciplines, this conference asks educators and professionals to consider how can we best manage the unique potentialities of this interdisciplinary and technological moment, rethink objects of art and design from the past and future, and more. Conference dates are June 29-30, 2020 at the University of Kent, Canterbury, UK. More

CFP 2020 Berkeley/Stanford Symposium - Is that Allowed? Politics and Permissibility in Art
Art has often caused controversy; perhaps it even courts it. Polarizing artworks have been censored, suppressed, destroyed, and removed from view.

Submissions from graduate students across disciplines and those working in the arts including but not limited to writers, critics, curators, artists and arts educators. Submit a 300-word abstract (with working title), CV, and a description of any necessary support and/or technical needs beyond a standard microphone to berkelystanford2020@gmail.com. More
