CFP: Career Readiness in Learning and Teaching Slavic Langauges

Deadline: March 31, 2025

CALL FOR PAPER PROPOSALS

“Career Readiness in Learning and Teaching Slavic Languages”

Victoria Hasko and Karen Evans-Romaine, editors

Proposals due March 31, 2025

Full manuscripts due July 15, 2025 – rljeditor@gmail.com

_________________________________________________________________________

Purpose, Aims, and Foci of the Special Issue:  

The 2023 Modern Language Association (MLA) report reveals that most collegiate modern language programs are experiencing declining enrollments nationwide (Lusin et al., 2023). This trend is creating a pressing need to articulate the relevance and value of language proficiency to language learners, parents, and campus administrators. At the same time, the report suggests that some language programs are thriving, and it attributes their vitality at least in part to the integration of career readiness into world language programming (ibid.). While a specific roadmap for such integration is lacking, the report highlights promising initiatives such as collaboration with career services, the inclusion of content courses tailored for specific professional purposes, and inclusion of language programs into interdisciplinary degrees and certificates. Recent learner surveys also suggest that students may be more committed to language programs that prepare them to apply their language knowledge effectively in diverse, real-world contexts, including professional internships, study abroad opportunities, and community partnerships (Morgan & Thompson, 2023; Murphy et al., 2022; also see JNCL-NCLIS, 2024).

Call for Participation: How Financial Interests Shape Democracy – Lessons from Central Easter Europe’s Democratic Transition

Deadline: April 4, 2025

Democracies worldwide face mounting internal and external threats (Wolf 2023). Domestically, neoliberal reforms—particularly financial deregulation—have deepened inequality (Stockhammer 2013, Lin and Tomaskovic-Devey 2013), eroded social solidarity (Brown 2019), and depoliticized key distributional policies (Burnham 2001, Harvey 2011). Internationally, financial liberalisation has facilitated tax evasion (Palan et al. 2010, Shaxson 2011, Wojcik 2013) and pressured governments to cut social provision (Streeck 2017), further weakening social cohesion. Meanwhile, global finance has enabled autocratic regimes to reinforce one another and disrupt democratic societies through misinformation (Applebaum 2024). These trends took hold in democratic societies in the 1980s and accelerated while the former Eastern Bloc underwent its democratic transitions.
