MAI: FEMINISM AND VISUAL CULTURE
Deadline: April, May and early June
https://maifeminism.com/crisis-connection-culture-alternative-responses-to-covid-19/
MAI: FEMINISM AND VISUAL CULTURE is putting together a special issue on creative connection during this pandemic.
At this time of crisis because of the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to physically touch is severely restricted, in order to protect ourselves and others from illness as well as police intervention. This has resulted in an even bigger shift to digital technologies and online interaction with hashtags such as #togetherapart encouraging more culture and connection on the internet in lieu of in-person events and meet-ups. Indeed being in touch is incredibly important: it helps us to stay safe, informed, and connected for our physical and mental health and our overall wellbeing. However, while people are suffering physically, emotionally, and financially, many in positions of power, including some governments and wealthy big business owners, seem more out of touch than ever.
This call seeks contributions of and on visual culture, broadly defined, including writing, art, short films etc within the themes of COVID-19/crisis and connection. The aim is to create a space for people to connect through the production and consumption of culture during COVID-19, specifically those who are often already the least safe and most silenced in a systemically racist, capitalist, heteropatriarchal society: women; non-binary people; LGBTQ+ people; people of colour; poor and working-class people; people with disabilities; young people; and others who are disenfranchised. The intention is not only to amplify such voices, but also to raise money for those who are struggling financially, or may do so in the near future because of the crisis. Crisis—Connection—Culture is to be published as a special issue of MAI: Feminism and Visual Culture, an open- access online journal of new feminist research and creative work. Potential contributors should, therefore, ensure that both feminist and visual elements are clear foundations for submissions.
This special issue will cut across arts, humanities, the social sciences and beyond. Individual submissions could focus on: film; television; other screens; social media; comic and graphic novels; photography; painting; theatre; dance; performance; fashion; games and gaming.
Examples of topics could include but are certainly not limited to:
A variety of submissions are welcome, from accessible academic pieces to personal reflections or creative and video responses. Work-in-progress will also be considered. The style guide as well as information about word length etc. can be found here: https://maifeminism.com/submissions/
We understand that prospective contributors will already have a range of pressing real-life commitments and worries during this crisis (health; finances; childcare etc.) and we would like allow more time for developing your projects/ideas. We will be considering submissions through April, May and early June.
Please be mindful that everyone has more to deal with right now so do check if the MAI website (linked above) can answer your questions before contacting via e-mail.
Potential contributions or expressions of interest should be sent to BOTH Leanne Dawson leanne.dawson@ed.ac.uk AND contact@maifeminism.com
Contributors are encouraged to share their work as well as a donation link (e.g. PayPal if the contributor is in need of money or a link to a food bank or similar for contributors with a secure income) that readers may use to donate directly, if they are in a position to do so.

Health and health-related behaviours are embedded in social contexts in various ways, which comprise both risks and opportunities for individual’s health (Sallis & Owen, 2015). Communicable (i.e., infectious) diseases, such as HIV or influenza, are spread through social contacts between persons (e.g., Rothenberg et al., 1998), and unfavorable health behaviours might be reinforced in one's social network (Valente, 2010). On the other hand, social support can ease the coping with diseases in everyday life (e.g., depression; Peirce, Frone, Russell, Cooper, & Mudar, 2000), and social norms may promote favorable health behaviours (e.g., eating healthily; Mollen, Rimal, Ruiter, & Kok, 2013). In the course of the digitalisation, new platforms have emerged that intensify known social processes or enable new ones. On social networking sites, people can directly observe health-related behaviours and thus norms of relevant others (e.g., Beullens & Vandenbosch, 2016); apps allow users to track their health behaviours and share their obtained health goals (e.g., Kristensen & Ruckenstein, 2018); and various online forums provide platforms for exchanging experiences and support regarding specific health issues (e.g., Barak, Boniel-Nissim, & Suler, 2008). Since these social processes unfold their effects through communication, they deserve special attention by health communication scholars to maintain and improve individual and public health.
The special issue aims to address the complexity of individuals’ social contexts and the full breadth of communication — ranging from interpersonal communication to mass media, online to offline, intended to unintended etc. It therefore calls for papers analyzing the interrelations between social aspects, different forms of health-related communication, and health at the individual, interpersonal, and societal level. Submissions can address but are not limited to the following questions and concepts.
Individual level:
Interpersonal level:
Societal level:
The special issue calls for basic research describing and explaining these aspects but also refers to applied research seeking to solve practical health communication issues. It is interested in theories, methods, and study designs that allow studying social aspects of health communication at different levels as well as the integration of various levels within a single approach.
Submission format
We welcome submissions that fit any of the EJHC formats: original research papers, theoretical papers, methodological papers, review articles, brief research reports. For further information on the article types, please see www.ejhc.org/about/submissions.
Manuscript should be prepared in accordance with the EJHC author guidelines (www.ejhc.org/about/submissions) and be submitted via the journal website (www.ejhc.org).
Deadline for submission is 31 May 2020.
Review process
All articles will undergo a rigorous peer review process. Once the paper has been assessed as appropriate by the editorial management team (with regard to form, content, and quality), it will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers in a double-blind review process, meaning that reviewers are not disclosed to authors, and authors are not disclosed to reviewers. To ensure short publication processes, EJHC releases articles online on a rolling basis, expected to start in December 2020.

COMMITTED TO EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AND REPRESENTING THE DIVERSITY OF THE COMMUNITY WE SERVE

Hamburg, Germany
Deadline: May 15, 2020
The particular epistemic and innovative potentials of Design Research are increasingly recognized within the wider academic sphere and are in constantly growing demand by businesses, institutions and politics alike. Yet, design research also is a field and practice that, due to its in-between nature, lacks the clear boundaries and formal dogmatisms of more traditional research disciplines, as well as their implicit notions of secured knowledge and linear progress.
Recognizing this inherent openness as one of its key qualities, the New Experimental Research in Design (in short: NERD) conference aims at providing a genuinely diverse and open platform for discussing, reflecting on and exposing to a wider public the manifold ways in which design’s unique perspective and proficiencies can intelligently be applied as a research competence. It does so by inviting presentations of empirical research projects by researchers from around the world and from all areas of design research with a focus on methodologically and thematically original approaches.
The emphasis on the empirical or the experimental – in the double sense of the researcher’s actual involvement and transformative interaction with his or her object of research and the brave and playful exploration of untrodden paths – is based on the conviction that the discussion about the merits and possibilities of design research is one that has to be led by example: What constitutes a fruitful method or approach only becomes apparent by it actually being conceptualized, worked out and eventually put into practice. For the same reason, NERD is decidedly not narrowed to a certain topic or school of thought, since the qualitatively new often exceeds such preconceived categories. Developed and realized by BIRD, the Board of International Research in Design for the eponymous design research book series published by Birkhäuser, as an annual event with changing venues, this conference format has already proven its productivity three times.
NERD, held at HAW Hamburg (Design Department) and hosted by Zentrum für Designforschung in Hamburg/Germany on 23./24.October 2020, will feature a careful selection of 30-minute presentations of research projects, each followed by another half an hour of time for questions and intense discussion with the audience. For this, we invite speakers at an advanced graduate, doctoral or early postdoctoral level to present their ongoing research or completed theses. Contributions should employ an original and well-conceived design-based and empirical/experimental approach and may deal with all kinds of interesting, engaging and socially, culturally and intellectually relevant questions.
Contributions by NERDs from other fields who share a similar commitment to new experimental approaches in design research are also welcome.
How to apply
If you would like to apply, we kindly ask for submission of an extended abstract (1000–1500 words) of your research project or the part of it that you wish to present at the conference to be sent to bird[at]bird-international-research-in-design.org until May 15, 2020.
All submissions will be blind reviewed and submitters will receive a notification about the admission of their contributions to the conference until June 15, 2020.
If you have further question, get in touch with:
Prof. Dr. Michael Erlhoff (erlhoff[at]be-design.info) or Dr. Tom Bieling(Tom.Bieling[at]haw-hamburg.de )
The Programme will be announced in June. Admission is free! We are looking forward do seeing you at #NERDfor – New Experimental Research in Design (Hamburg, 23. – 24. October 2020).

“What would you prefer, yellow spandex…?” – X-Men (2000)
2020 marks twenty years since the release of X-Men, which sparked a re-emergence of the superhero on screen and led to a spectacular ascent towards being the most successful and globally popular genre in cinema history, with dozens of films produced and many billions of dollars earned in the last two decades – an aggressive dominance that shows no signs of receding.
In the last year, the titanic Avengers: Endgame provided the superhero film with its biggest-ever canvas and, sandwiched between /Captain Marvel/ and Spider-Man: Far From Home, brought Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe to a triumphant finish, after eleven years and twenty-three films. Yet, late in 2019, DC placed its most iconic villain centre stage in Todd Phillips’ Joker, which provided a truly striking take on Batman’s arch-nemesis, drawing on 70’s New Hollywood aesthetics and exploring issues such as mental health and social revolt.
The James Gunn-produced Brightburn merged the superhero genre with Horror to generate a forbiddingly dark mirror of the Superman origin story. Meanwhile, on television, the full CW line of DC Comics shows ambitiously collided in an adaptation of the signature 1980’s event Crisis on Infinite Earths, which surprisingly provided actor Brandon Routh a belated opportunity to reprise the role of Superman.
Within the source medium of Comics, the genre continued to show great diversity and invention, along with experimentation: Gene Luen Yang and Girihu’s superb Superman Smashes The Klan took a famous storyline from the 1940’s Superman radio show and used it to view The Man of Steel via the immigrant experience, while in the mainstream comics, Brian Michael Bendis controversially dispensed with a core tenet of the superhero mythology, as Superman revealed his secret identity to the world. The Unstoppable Waspwas a light-hearted wonder, firmly focused on fun and easily accessible. After decades of being rooted in science, Immortal Hulk took a sharp turn into the realms of Horror and Grant Morrison’s take on Green Lantern vigorously resurrected the Silver Age of Comics. In Tom King’s Mister Miracle, the superhero is viewed through the lenses of mental health and political anxieties.
Soaring into its ninth decade, then, the superhero currently occupies a diverse, expansive and dominant space in modern popular culture. Perceived as a modern form of mythology or folklore, the characters signature emblems are among the most recognisable in the world, functioning as powerful, pervasive and vastly profitable brands. Yet, while still largely American in focus, the superhero has become increasingly international, capable of reflecting specific issues and operating as a powerful messenger of them - a power they have possessed since their inception.
The Superhero Project: 4th Global Meeting invites inter-disciplinary discussion on superheroes and notions of the super-heroic. Indicative themes for discussion may include but are not limited to:
1. Post-Humanism:
2. Dual Identities:
3. Gender & Ethnicity:

5. Deconstruction:
6. Social Responsibility:
