Our full call for papers is now out and available here. HOTCUS will be pleased to welcome proposals for individual papers, but particularly encourages interested members to consider developing innovative panels and roundtables, including state of the field discussions, reassessments of key texts, and fora that explore issues in research, career development, and pedagogy. To facilitate the development of proposals, HOTCUS has set up an online form (Google Doc) where potential applicants can share ideas and invite collaboration.

Postgraduate and early career scholars are also encouraged to apply to our workshop with Professor Preston, which will take place on June 18, 2025.  The workshop will provide a supportive space for PhD students and early career scholars to present and receive feedback on chapters, articles, or detailed research proposals.

Applications for the workshop at due March 2. For further details are available here.
