● CFP, ‘‘Beyond Binaries: Theoretical Approaches to Decolonization in Colonial and Postcolonial Literatures of the Global South’’. Name of organization: LIT; Literature Interpretation Theory, University of Pennsylvania (Department of English). They are especially interested in work that explores:
- decolonizing nationalisms that seek to go beyond colonial binaries.
- the buried works of lesser-known nationalist leaders and intellectuals.
- the writings of those who have been typically left out of frameworks of liberation, such as women, queer and non-normative gendered and sexed subjects, and the lower castes.
- alternative utopian conceptualizations of the nation-state in literary texts
- literary visions of community that go beyond the nation-state.
- literary texts that engage in experiments of form to capture alternative visions of the postcolonial community.

This journal specifically stood out to me in various ways (even though it is still on VOL. 1); in the case of bringing experts to a possible conference, these women are modern and fresh; possibly appealing to the young adult public.

limitations.
