"What is your favorite novel?"
deadline for submissions:
April 30, 2021
full name / name of organization:
South Central Review
contact email:
[email protected]
During the pandemic, we’ve heard that a lot of people went back to read their favorite novels as comfort and sustenance through the hard times. We at South Central Review have therefore decided to do a special double issue on this topic, scheduled to appear in Fall 2021. We hope to run approximately thirty brief essays (5-8 pages in manuscript form) in which the authors reflect on the literary, artistic, or other merits of the novel in question, why it resonates as it does, and perhaps why it was important at a particular moment in history, or why it remains influential today. We also hope to interview several contemporary novelists and writers about their favorite novels as sources of or inspiration for their own work.
We are inviting SCMLA members to submit essays to Nick Lawrence by email at [email protected]. Our submission deadline for essays is April 30, 2021. We will accommodate as many essays as we can, but obviously there is the possibility that not all submissions can be included. Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to hearing from you.

This volume seeks to examine how medievalism in the Nordic region, or inspired by the region, interacts with, constructs, and/or undermines gender and the prevailing myth of Nordic gender equality.
These are a few of the many potential questions that can be examined in this volume:
- How does medievalism contribute to the contraction of contemporary understandings of gender in the Nordic region?
- How did feminism influence mainstream medievalism throughout the Nordic region?
- Are there distinctly gendered experiences of the modern medieval within the Nordic region?
- How does an individual use the medieval past to construct their gender identities or navigate a masculine/feminine cultural binary within this region?
- How does the queer react and interact with Nordic medievalism?
Submission information:
Please send short proposals (250 words) and a short biography to Heta Aali ([email protected]) and Karl C. Alvestad ([email protected]) by 30 April 2021.

Call for Proposals: International Society for the Study of Medievalism
November 4-6, 2021.
Online Conference
Hosted by Delta College, Michigan.
Send proposals for papers, sessions, and roundtables to:
[email protected]
Deadline: 30 June 2021
Medievalism is inescapable in contemporary culture, from the success of medievalist fantasy television shows such as Game of Thrones and The Witcher, through media comparisons between Covid 19 and the Black Death, to the use of medieval rhetoric and imagery in extremist political movements. Yet alongside this heightened popular engagement with the medieval, the study of the Middle Ages is in decline in higher education, coming under assault in the name of cost-cutting and “relevance.”
This is therefore the ideal time to assess the state of medievalism today. The International Society for the Study of Medievalism welcomes proposals for papers, sessions, and roundtables on the following suggested subjects:

- Medievalism in today’s politics and political movements.
- The current state of the field in the academic study of medievalism.
- The relationship between academic medieval studies and the current popular reception of the Middle Ages.
- Issues of race, gender, sexuality, and gender identity in contemporary medievalism and medieval studies.
- We also welcome papers addressing all aspects of medievalism, not limited to these suggested themes.
