Friends, we got a call to action 👇

We have the right to know when and how our creative works are used, especially when it comes to GenAi!

This is why we need regulation like California’s Ai Copyright Transparency Act #AB-412 !

If you agree, especially if in CA, please sign & share this petition!
Let’s Be Clear: Artists & Creators Must Have Transparency NOW!
Every single day we don’t have transparency, the value of copyright loses ground and the harms inflicted to creative industries grow. California has always been on the forefront of policies that can ...

CFP for NeMLA 2026 roundtable "Regenerating Technical Communication: Creative Pedagogies & Practices": cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S...

Abstract deadline is tonight (Sep 30)! Feel free to reach out directly if interested too. #RhetComp #TechComm #TeamRhetoric #Pedagogy
Technical communication, as a field of practice and study, has grown larger and more varied in response to the rapidly developing technologies, new forms of globalization, and shifting institutional demands of the past 20 years—all greatly intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic within the last five. How do instructors of technical communication, in 2025–2026, meet the current moment as well as contemporary student needs? This roundtable calls for creative and innovative approaches to the teaching of technical communication. Following the conference theme of “regeneration,” the session invites presentations that share pedagogical frameworks and/or strategies that critically innovate, expand, or reframe what students may think of as the “traditional” technical communication classroom and its stereotypes of “dull, document-based” work (Bridgeford, Kitalong & Selfe 2). Approaches related to social justice, community engagement, and/or feminist pedagogy, as well as experiential teaching practices such as project-based learning and arts-based pedagogy, are particularly welcome.

Submit an abstract for our caucus-sponsored panel 'Queer Drag and Imperial Shadows: Performance Cultures of South Asia' (NeMLA 2026) here: cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S...
This panel is an exploration of the historical and colonial entanglements of drag culture and queer performativity in South Asia, which seeks to understand how cultural memory, capitalism, and colonialism shape drag’s aesthetics and politics and its commodification. It welcomes interdisciplinary work on marginalized queer voices and performance which challenge Western perceptions and understanding of drag as a social phenomenon.

Submit an abstract for our caucus-sponsored panel 'New Voices in the Tortured Poets Department: Women, Literature, and Music' (NeMLA 2026) here: cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S...
Tortured Poets Department (2024) uses the relationship between Taylor Swift and poet Emily Dickinson, the singer’s sixth cousin, to suggest shared aesthetics and aims. Our NeMLA 2025 double session featured scholars’ fruitful parallels between Swift’s and Dickinson’s treatment of memory, desire, and form. Our NeMLA 2026 session asks what more we can learn by examining the intersection of gender, literature, and popular music. To what extent are women writers and recording artists “tortured poets,” and what does it mean to envision the trope of the tortured poet as a woman? This panel explores further connections between women writers and popular recording artists, trans or cis. We invite proposals that analyze relationships between a female recording artist and any woman writer since the nineteenth century. How do their personas, art, mythology, image, and/or reception relate to one another? How do the artists’ works connect thematically, lyrically, and musically? What potential does the pairing–or the concept of the woman as tortured poet–hold for “regenerating” canon, scholarship, and/or pedagogy? We welcome papers that address these questions.

Less than two years ago, an Israeli airstrike on a hospital in Gaza city merited a multi-day news cycle, with international outrage forcing Israel to issue denials and launch an absurd but ultimately successful attempt to muddy the waters with dubious theories about Gazans bombing themselves.

We already know of over 1,000 student visa terminations. The true number is likely significantly higher. Very few have anything to do with pro-Palestinian advocacy. The overwhelming majority seem to be the result of automated terminations for any contact with law enforcement, no matter how minor.
kreighbaum.bsky.social Andrew Kreighbaum @kreighbaum.bsky.social · Apr 15
There are specific regulatory and procedural requirements to end a student’s legal status, attorneys say.

But the basis for the vast majority of terminations—including traffic violations and other misdemeanor issues—wouldn’t meet them, they say. And students aren’t getting a chance to respond.
Lawsuits Over Foreign Students’ Status Find Solid Legal Footing

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash.
