CFP: Philosophies of Gender and Sexuality in East-Central Europe

Deadline: December 13, 2024

While the study of gender and sexuality in East-Central Europe has recently become a politicized topic, its roots in the region are in fact rich and long-established. From Orthodox theological accounts of love as an active social force (and its subsequent influence on Slavophile notions of collective identity) through to twentieth-century Marxist efforts at reconciling libidinal and political economies, theories of gender and sexuality have played a pivotal role in the formation of the region’s intellectual history, including its cultural identity and political development. The theorization of gender and sexuality in East-Central Europe has in fact been so influential and established that its reach has often transcended the region and influenced global trends: for example, in the Central European roots of psychoanalysis, or in the pivotal role within the history of feminist thought of debates in Eastern Europe on women’s emancipation.

CFP: “Artificial Intelligence and Machine Translation in the Teaching and Researching of Slavic Languages and Literatures”

Deadline: September 15, 2024

Purpose, Aims, and Foci of the Thematic Issue:

The topic of AI has been gaining significant traction in the field of Slavic Studies. Major conferences now feature panels and streams dedicated to AI integration, and numerous professional training events have been organized to equip instructors with the skills needed to utilize AI tools in teaching and research.

This thematic issue seeks to capitalize on this growing momentum by documenting the integration of Artificial Intelligence technologies in the teaching and research of Slavic languages and literatures. The focus will be on how these advancements can be effectively leveraged to enhance both pedagogical practices and scholarly inquiry. AI applications, such as machine learning, AI text and image generators and digital humanities tools, offer new methodologies for analyzing Slavic texts, teaching language skills, and understanding cultural contexts. The purpose of this issue is to provide an overview of current teaching and research practices and bring together diverse perspectives from educators, linguists, and researchers to reflect on the potentials and challenges of incorporating AI into the study and teaching of Slavic literatures and cultures.
