- - NEBULA is an online academic periodical interested in all things
intellectual with the intention of providing a platform for interdisciplinary
reading. NEBULA accepts academic articles from any discipline provided that
these are written in non-specialist language and in a manner that appeals
to a broad audience. In addition, the editors encourage academics and intellectuals
to participate in a public debate as regards world politics. Nebula particularly
welcomes submissions of a marginal or "against the grain" nature and those
that heavily interrogate popular political ideologies in a sound and well-evidenced
manner. Writings of high calibre that are particularly underrepresented in
other academic periodicals are most welcome for consideration. Nebula
also publishes literary and art works and is willing to consider any (graphic,
cartoon etc.) material, which can be published on the world wide web.

Calls
for Papers in English and American Literature
Ongoing -- The English Department at the University of Pennsylvania
hosts a website at: www.english.upenn.edu/CFP/
for calls for papers on English and American Literature and Culture for journals
and conferences.
The host encourages
conference or panel organizers and volume editors to post calls to gain the
largest possible audience for their announcements by posting them on this
list and web archive. Announcements can include calls for upcoming conferences,
panels, essay collections, and special journal issues related to English and
American literature, and can include calls for completed papers, abstracts,
and proposals. The boundaries are flexible: all English-language literatures,
cultural studies, literary theory, bibliography, humanities computing, and
comparative literature (even when not concerned specifically with English
or American literature) are within the pale.
Due to the volume
of postings and the fact that each posting must be approved and edited by
hand, the CFP list and web archive is only for calls for papers, not for general
conference announcements.
