The Trade, Capital and Labor section of Oxford Intersections Borders - a new initiative by Oxford University Press – is now accepting abstracts for research articles. I have been appointed Section Editor for Borders Intersections and am now inviting abstracts for new interdisciplinary research articles on a range of topics related to Trade, Capital and Labor. Contributions can thematically relate to markets as spaces of place and flows where real economic activities—including the exchange or transactions of goods, services (specifically, labor) and capital—occur across nation-state borders. Articles that discuss borders as virtual spaces through which flows that involve purchases and sales of items—goods, services and capital—occur are also welcome. Articles may further consider sovereignty and the nation-state, and the centrality of various actors including individuals, firms, governments and government agencies in the market dynamics that relate to the border.

We invite scholarly contributions for a special issue of Intercultural Relations focusing on Africa’s global entanglements: past and present. The issue seeks critical engagements with Africa’s cultural, political, and historical circulations, especially in relation to diaspora, transnationalism, and global epistemologies. We are particularly interested in work addressing the legacies of slavery and colonialism, and how these histories continue to shape African and diasporic identities, mobilities, and cultural production. Submissions that rethink Africa’s agency within global frameworks are especially welcome. Interdisciplinary work and submissions that rethink Africa’s agency within global frameworks are particularly encouraged.

Location Oregon, United States Subject Fields African History / Studies Dear Africanist Historians & Scholars, You are cordially invited to submit a proposal for the 6th Rocky Mountain Workshop on African History, to be held in beautiful Portland, Oregon, September 12-13, 2025. This is the second call for papers, panels, and discussants for the Rocky Mountain Workshop, which is designed to provide an intensive and critical discussion of pre-circulated papers on any aspect of African history. Papers with historical dimensions but originating from other disciplines, such as anthropology or political science, are welcome. The Rocky Mountain Workshop is held annually at rotating institutions in the western United States in September or October. In September 2025 and September 2026 it will be held in Portland, Oregon. Over the course of two days, the meeting will provide Africanist historians with diverse backgrounds and research interests with the opportunity to present works in progress and receive both substantial commentary and supportive discussion from colleagues in a workshop atmosphere. Although anyone is welcome to present, the organizing committee especially encourages the presentation of unpublished research from Africanist historians based in the Western United States (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming). We envision that this workshop will become a fixture for this diffuse community of Africanist scholars, and serve to strengthen the exchange of ideas among this group.Link: https://networks.h-net.org/group/announcements/20066029/cfp-rocky-mountain-workshop-african-history-portland-or-12-13-sep-2025  Read more

The TWAS Research Grants Programme in Basic Sciences was established in response to the needs of researchers in developing countries, particularly those attached to institutions that lack appropriate research facilities. Under this scheme, grants can be awarded for research projects in biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics either to individual young researchers, or to research units in the science-and-technology-lagging countries (S&TLC) identified by TWAS, to enable them to purchase the research facilities they need to enhance their productivity.Apply here: https://www.twas.org/opportunity/twas-research-grants-programme-basic-sciences-individuals?utm_source=RUFORUM+Mailing+List&utm_campaign=aa9dc3b427-RUFORUM+Weekly+-+Vol.3+No.25_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1fcfbb8a0b-aa9dc3b427-346981101&ct=t()&goal=0_1fcfbb8a0b-aa9dc3b427-346981101&mc_cid=aa9dc3b427&mc_eid=2397799980  Read more

CFP: Jesuit Studies panels at the Sixteenth Century Society (SCS) annual Conference, 30 October-1 November, 2025 at the Hilton Portland Downtown Hotel in Portland, Oregon, USA. The 2025 annual meeting will be held in person. A submission at this stage assumes a commitment to attending an in-person conference.  All conference participants must also join the Sixteenth Century Society. The Journal of Jesuit Studies sponsors panels and round tables at SCS to promote global Jesuit studies in different academic disciplines. Please submit abstracts on topics related to the study of Jesuits in art or architectural history, digital humanities, global/international studies, history, history of science and medicine, literature, or religion and theology, focusing on Jesuits around the world in the early modern period, of no more than 250 words, along with a short list of keywords, and a BRIEF CV (no more than 300 words, including affiliation, rank and one or two important publications or other evidence of scholarship) to Kathleen Comerford, kcomerfo@georgiasouthern.edu, no later than Tuesday, April 8, 2025. Please follow instructions carefully, as the submissions module does not allow flexibility of interpretation. The SCS is a conference focused on global early modern (c.1450-c.1750) scholarship in a variety of fields (including Art & Architectural History, Digital Humanities, English Literature, French Literature, German Studies, History, History of Science & Medicine, Interdisciplinary Studies, Italian Studies, Pedagogy and Professionalization, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American Studies, and Religion and Theology). Members present papers or posters, or engage in round-table discussions. For more information, see www.sixteenthcentury.org/conference. The SCS encourages the participation of international scholars and warmly welcomes early career researchers and postgraduates to the academic community. The SCS is a not-for-profit scholarly organization and therefore receives no governmental or institutional funding, and therefore cannot cover the costs of participation. The Journal of Jesuit Studies is also unable to offer funding. In order to participate in this conference, delegates or their sponsoring institutions or organizations will need to fund travel and lodging expenses in addition to a per-delegate registration fee (there is a reduced rate for registered students). Advance registration online is recommended. For an additional administrative charge, registration may also be completed at the meeting. Please note that conference registration fees are non-refundable. The fee supports conference facilities, general events at the conference, membership to the SCS, and one year’s subscription to the Sixteenth Century Journal. Contact Information Kathleen M.
