CFP: "Rethinking Black Love..."
"Rethinking Black Love Since E. Franklin Frazier"
A special guest-edited issue of Women, Gender, and Families of Color by Ayesha K. Hardison and Randal Maurice Jelks
Submission deadline: February 1, 2018
In this special issue of Women, Gender, and Families of Color the editors are soliciting scholarly contributions that rethink what the affective word “love” means in Black communities.
In 1939, when the sociologist E. Franklin Frazier published his study The Negro Family in the United States, he had no idea he was initiating a discussion about Black life, love, and family that would be debated well into the twenty-first century. Three years after Franklin’s death in 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s public policy report used information gleaned from Frazier’s research to assert that Black families, purportedly dominated by Black women, were largely pathological. Moynihan’s damaging conclusions were both sexist and racist by today’s standards, as well as those of his day, and failed to consider the non-normative familial connections and LGBTQ relationships that have historically been a part of Black communities. His work also overlooked the emergence of new perspectives on Black sexuality and families, including Black feminism amidst the Civil Rights Movement. Although a great deal of sociological and historical work has been done to countervail these depictions and their reverberating consequences, popular culture, media, law, research, and social practices continue to conscribe Black families with racially biased, patriarchal tropes that stem from the work of Frazier and his intellectual descendant, Moynihan. These often-unquestioned assumptions regarding Black families’ structures, welfare, and sustainability are at the root of conflicts over Black love in its many forms, including the erotic, familial, platonic, and communal expressions of love among Black people.
We invite scholars, writers, and artists to join us in contemplating themes of Black love in literature, religious thought, philosophy, history, and popular culture to inform and expand readers’ understanding of the emotional and affectionate bonds within Black communities.
Contributors may address the following topics, though this list is not exhaustive:
- Current issues in Black romantic life
- The sacred meaning of Black love
- The role of media, people, or space in the construction and shaping of our appreciation of Black love
- Gendered notions of love and their effect on Black family socialization and expectations
- Issues of employment and education and the relationship of these variables to Black love and families
- Sexuality and physical intimacies
- Parenting and child rearing
- Divorce and single parenting
Please submit a 250-word abstract in Times-New Roman, size 12 font, and a brief two-page CV to wgfc@ku.edu by February 1, 2018.

CFP: Images of Blackness in Graphic Novels Past & Future
This edited volume will offer an opportunity for authors to investigate the ways in which blackness is reimagined in both mainstream and independent comics. Specifically, I propose responding to the following questions: What are the ways in which heroism is redefined by black characters? How are black futures reimagined? What gendered arguments are made through this medium? What are the challenges in presenting to black audiences in this largely white genre? How do the creators depict the continent of Africa and/or communities in the African Diaspora? How are black bodies presented in graphic comics and novels? Finally, how are themes of social justice specific to black communities presented in this type of medium?
This volume would address the above questions in addition to the themes indicated below.
- Black Futurism
- Black Femininity
- Black Masculinity
- Imagery of Blackness
- Conceptions of Africa and/or Diaspora
- Black Bodies in Comics
- The Use of Comics for Social Change
- Narratives of publishing Black-themed Graphic Novels and Comics

About the Theme
Our theme, “JUST IMAGINE. IMAGINING JUSTICE: Feminist visions of freedom, dream making and the radical politics of futures” invites scholars to engage the work of a variety of thinkers and visionaries, past and present, who insist that we cannot build movements or intellectual projects based simply on what we are against, but rather we have to deploy our imaginations to create projects, paradigms and movements based on what we are for. ASA, borrowing from the works of Walter Benjamin and Homi Bhabha, has embraced the notion that every emergency creates the basis for new possibilities to emerge and to take hold. We want to look at realized and imagined futures that offer alternative frames, logics, aesthetics, sexualities, social relations and social systems. This is the foundation upon which new radical praxes of freedom will be built. We also encourage scholars to resist epistemic frames that artificially divide dreaming from doing.
Download the Full CFP
All proposals to the general conference must be submitted to one of the following seven subthemes:
- Afro-futurism, feminist futures, surrealist thought and radical imaginaries
- Rethinking gender, sexuality, family, disability and the bio-politics of what is or is not human?
- The future of the universities, schools, and knowledge production: maroon spaces, insurgent practices, and the future of the disciplines and the interdisciplines?
- Post-capitalism: imagining new economic futures
- Revolutions and utopian projects: sustained, incomplete and derailed
- Political, cultural and artistic movements that “demand the impossible:” “abolition” and beyond
- The earth’s future and legacies of its past: environmental justice, climate change, indigeneity, land rights, wars and occupations
Full details of the CFP and submissions instructions are now posted here.

Share your research at LACCEI 2018, Lima, Peru. Abstract deadline March 16, 2018
Dear Students,
The University System of Maryland’s LSAMP program and the Executive Director of the Latin and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions (LACCEI) invite the students of LSAMP and LSAMP-BD to come to the 2018 LACCEI annual conference in Lima, Peru to share research and participate in activities of the Student Platform for Engineering Education (SPEED).
The 2018 Conference: http://wp.eng.fau.edu/laccei2018/
Call for papers – Please apply for the student competition: http://wp.eng.fau.edu/laccei2018/student-paper-competition/
Several NSF USM LSAMP-BD Fellows, PROMISE AGEP Fellows, and faculty connected with ADVANCE programs have participated in LACCEI in the past.
2018 LACCEI – Flyer
To make plans for LACCEI 2018:
- Submit an abstract ASAP: The student paper submission deadline is February 1, 2018. You must create an account to submit the abstract. You may submit an abstract based on your research. The conference primarily focuses on engineering, computer science, and IT, however, students with other science backgrounds are invited.
The Maryland delegation will be led by the Co-PIs of the USM-LSAMP. Students from the PROMISE AGEP and the USM LSAMP have participated in LACCEI conferences in Panama, Mexico, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, and Boca Raton. (Contact person: Dr. Renetta Tull).
Limited funding for travel (registration, flight, lodging) has been reserved for those USM LSAMP and PROMISE AGEP students whose abstracts are submitted and accepted.
Twitter
- Students who travel with the Maryland delegation will be expected to participate in a daily Twitter activity that will start on July 17, 2018, and end on July 24, 2018.
- All participants will tweet daily for the duration of the trip in Lima and will respond to questions that are posted about the conference sessions and experiences.
- We will use the following hashtags #ThinkBigDiversity and #LACCEI2018 in every tweet.
Rules of Engagement:
- Create a Twitter account if you don’t have one. Please remember that this tweets will be used for official reports and research.
- Use #ThinkBigDiversity and #LACCEI2018 in each tweet.
- When answering a question make sure to follow the logic Ex. “Q1” = Question one, when answering question 1 write “A1” = Answer 1 in front of your answer.
- When typing a long answer, please type it on a separate sheet or page and divide the answers into parts so when tweeting it will look like a thread (1/2, 2/2). See example below #6.
- We are aiming for 10 tweets per person, per day.
- Please follow https://twitter.com/MedinaYarazeth and https://twitter.com/USM_LSAMP
Students from other LSAMP and AGEP programs are encouraged to talk with LSAMP and AGEP directors, faculty, and administrators at your respective universities to obtain funding. Students are also encouraged to seek travel funds through their respective student organizations.
Please note that your work will likely fit into one of the technical tracks shown in the flyer above.

Event: Teaching and Reaching Black Boys: A Conversation
University of Maryland Baltimore County welcomes activist-authors Dr Eddie Moore Jr, Debby Irving (Waking Up White, Elephant Room Press, 2014), Verna Myers (What if I Say the Wrong Thing? 25 Habits for Culturally Effective People, American Bar Association, 2014), and Jack Hill, head of middle school, Cambridge Friends School, Join us in conversation around the book's main premise that white women make up 65% of the teaching force in America and can play a critical role in developing nurturing and challenging learning environments that help black boys feel a sense of belonging and love at school.
The guide hopes to teach three main principles:
- How to develop learning environments that help Black boys feel a sense of belonging, nurturance, challenge, and love at school.
- How to change school culture so that Black boys can show up in the wholeness of their selves.
- How to overcome unconscious bias and forge authentic connections with your Black male students.
The conversation will tackle such topics as, “Is loving black boys enough?”, “How might loving black boys differ from loving students from different identity groups?”, and “Why dedicate a whole book to just white women teachers who teach black boys?”
Book signing is at 3:00 pm. Books will also be available for purchase. The book signing will end promptly at 3:45 pm and the panel discussion will begin at 4:00 pm.
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/teaching-and-reaching-black-boys-in-america-a-conversation-tickets-41753937150
This will take place in the Meyerhoff Chemistry Building, Lecture Hall 2, Room 030.
