CONFERENCE CALL FOR PROPOSALS 2025  Conference, Association for the Study of Women and Mythology  "Sacred Stories of the Sentient Earth:  Scholarship for Collaboration, Intervention, and Reciprocity" March 27-29, 2025 Westward Look Inn, Tucson, Arizona With the precursor of  Donna Haraway’s early work pointing out how dogs socialized people as much as we them, subsequent work that supports the same for cats, and Haraway’s  Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene (2016), a whole new interdisciplinary literature is emerging exploring the hidden lives of plants and animals and the earth herself. To name a few: The Soul of an Octopus (Sy Montgomery), Relational Reality (Charlene Spretnak ), The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth (Zoë Schlanger), What Would Animals Say if We Asked the Right Question? (Vinciane Despret), and Finding the Mother Tree (Suzanne Simard). Overlooking or dismissing animal, plant , and earth intelligence is rooted in the hubris of Western culture.  With rising consciousness, we turn instead to wisdom from Indigenous Cultures in conjunction with newer scientific discoveries and timeless mythologies to find inspiration and answers to our connection with every aspect of life on our planet. Our 2025 Conference focuses on meanings and relationships among mythology, science, and culture regarding animals, the green world, the earth and her ecosystems. With our primary focus on interconnectedness, we welcome academic and artistic presentations concerning mythological, ecological and scientific scholarship. In particular we seek work that addresses collaborations between humans and other sentient beings, foundational myths about the intelligence of nature, and scientific and cultural solutions to transgressions against the balance of nature. Such topics may include (but are not limited to): Oasis: The Intersection of Hospitality, Survival, and Water in Desert Cultures Dialogues between Western scientific findings and ...

Conference Call for Proposals The Waters of Life – Exploring Water Mythos, Divinity, Beings & Ecology May 5th and 6th, 2023 Crowne Plaza, Syracuse New York This conference will provide the opportunity to explore myths from around the world of water Goddesses, water creatures and water itself in cultural, spiritual, historical, and ecological contexts.  Water as one of the Elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) is recognized as a building block of everything on earth from the spiritual to the mundane in multiple spiritual traditions and Water as 50%-60% of our bodies is scientifically recognized as an elemental component of life, crucial for survival.   Indigenous peoples honor the intertwining of life and water and hold it as sacred in ritual, story and everyday life, while the industrial world has reduced it to a commodity.  With the onset of global warming, a consciousness is arising of the need for respect, reverence and protection for our water sources – a time to look back and around to gather the wisdom of Water Keepers, past and present, around the globe.  Potential topics include, though are not limited to:  Water Mythos Grounded in Reality & Science Exploring Beings, Myths and Ecology of our Aqueous Worlds Oceans Infinite but Endangered- Exploring Water-based Mythology and Ecology New views on key species in myth and in the real world such as: cranes/waterbirds, sharks, whales, octopuses Indigenous sciences and traditional technologies Interrelationships of water, water beings and ecosystems in myth and science Ethical perspectives in the use of sacred stories Emerging new perspectives in post-humanism that grant agency to non-human beings Methodologies for inclusions of mysteries in traditional and academic research Place wisdom, environmental resilience, identity and myth Examining racial and gender intersectionality in history and myth, nature and society Indigenous science and climate change: decolonizing environmental and ...

How does ASWM's program committee read and review proposals? We start by focusing on the written proposal that you submit. We look for a clear and succinct statement of your work. We have more than a hundred proposals to review for each event, so we are serious about the 250-word limit for an individual proposal. In this case, giving us more information than that word limit works to your disadvantage. If you exceed the word limit, you will probably be asked to submit your proposal again, following the guidelines. (Some organizations would reject such a proposal on the basis of guidelines alone.) It will be this 250-word abstract that is made available to attendees. Your proposal enables people to make a choice of what to attend during the conference. It is your best chance to present your work, so it needs to be spelled out clearly. (Remember that you are presenting the proposal to an intelligent general audience, who may not be familiar with the jargon of your field.) See below for a checklist for proposal form and content. Your 70-word bio will need to have enough information so that people can find you after the event if they want to make contact about your work. Biographies are included in the conference program book. Accepted proposals will be available on the website, alphabetical by author last name. Film Proposals If you are proposing to show a film, know that, at the first stage, our proposal readers will not look up films on websites. That's the job of the film subcommittee, which doesn't see proposals until we have determined whether/how the film fits with our themes. The general proposal readers recommend films to the subcommittee. What is the subject of your film (be specific)? How does it fit with our themes? ...

The Afterlives of Eve 9-11 September 2016 at Newcastle University and Durham University Keynotes: Sandra M. Gilbert (UC Davis), Wendy Furman-Adams (Whittier), John Bothwell (Durham) From Genesis to mitochondrial Eve, the idea of a single common foremother has occupied a crucial space in the Western cultural imaginary. Eve, whether as bringer of sin, as life-giver, as burden, curse or saviour, functions as a commentary on maternity, sexuality, creativity and power.  This cross-period and interdisciplinary conference will be an opportunity to explore the impact of her varied representations through the centuries and across different genres and media. How has this archetypal figure been revised and revisited by conservative and radical thought? What personal, polemical and/or creative uses have been made of the figure of Eve? What persists and what changes in her depictions across time and geographical space?  How have women and men negotiated their shared and different relationships to Eve? How has Eve been appropriated, neglected or rejected as a foremother? How does she speak to fantasies of masculine or feminine self-sufficiency? What cultural, political, literary and/or theological spaces does she occupy now? Topics might include, but need not be limited to: Origins of/Sources for Eve                                                                                                                                  Other Eves                                                                                                                                                            The absence of Eve                                                                                                                                             Representations and Transformations of Eve                                                                                                         Eve as Over-reacher We welcome papers from all disciplines in arts, humanities and sciences and covering any historical period.

Canadian Woman Studies/les cahiers de la femme: Feminist Gift Economy Theorizing and Practice:  A Matricentric Alternative to Patriarchy 32.1 (Summer/Fall 2016) Deadline:  January 30, 2016 The aim of this issue of CWS/cf is to recognize and give value to unilateral gifting and to explore the new theoretical and practical understandings and political possibilities uncovered by the recognition of its maternal roots. The study of Indigenous gift economies in the West denies the importance of direct unilateral giving and some have even questioned its existence. However a great deal of unilateral giving is called for in the practice of care by mothers, who are usually women but can also be men, other children, or entire villages.
