The Independence of Peru and the Americas in Global Perspective
March 11-12, 2021
Institute of Latin American Studies, University of London
In 2021-22 Peru, Mexico, Central America and Brazil will celebrate 200 years of independence. The Independence of Peru in particular and of the Americas as a whole was a global event. A key battleground of the Age of Revolutions and the birthplace of the First Wave of Decolonization, Latin American independence produced a new world order.
For several years Islamism has been associated with jihadism and violent extremism both in academia and in contemporary political debates. However, this association can be misleading: Islamism has much deeper roots than jihadi terrorism and it stands as a powerful and complex ideology inspiring thoughts, actions and groups all over the world. Emerging as a protest-for-justice ideology claiming freedom against Western colonisation of the Muslim world, Islamism has triggered both individual and groups worldwide since early 1900s.
In sociology, ‘the body’ is currently examined in a multitude of ways and has an interesting and contested role in sociological thinking and research. However, while a significant corpus of theoretical literature (Turner, 1996; Shilling, 1993; Synnott, 1993; Featherstone, et al., 1991) has generated rich knowledge about the role of the body in everyday social life, ‘the body’ usually acts in such work simply as an abstract and overly theoretical object of investigation which scholars talk about.
The Institute of Art History at Freie Universität Berlin will be awarding the fourth Alfried Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach PhD Grant for dissertation projects in the field of African art history.

The research may be designed as co-operation projects with museums or important private collections in Europe as well as in Africa.
Vernon Press invites book chapter proposals to be included in a forthcoming scholarly volume on “Contact Before Columbus.”
At some point in our distant past, Earth’s two major continental groups--the so-called “old” and “New” worlds-- lost contact with one another, and would not restore that contact for some ten thousand years. Since then, much has been said about the alleged “discovery” of the New World, with a clear image of who got here first yet to emerge.
In recent years, following the success of the culturally and critically renowned Maus and Persepolis, the non-superhero comic scene has seen the rise of intimate graphic memoirs that deal with an intersection of marginalized identities arising from diaspora, war, disability, invisible illnesses, and/or queerness. In these works, we do not simply read about marginalized lives, instead the comic form opens a window into the author-protagonist’s life—which diminishes the gap between readers and the minority subjects.
Vernon Press invites chapter proposals on Gamification in the RhetComp Curriculum. The volume will be edited by Christopher McGunnigle, Seton Hall University.
Climate change is the existential crisis of this century, affecting biodiversity, ecosystems, and all aspects of human life. This is a topic of enormous breadth, complexity, and particular urgency with respect to knowledge, innovation, collaboration, advocacy, and activism. This theme issue of the peer-reviewed Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research (SPUR) will explore the broad and impactful work of undergraduate research in the context of climate change.
