4. Call for chapters in an edited collection: Critical Approaches to Youth Horror. Deadline: 17 June 2019
In the midst of a renewed interest in horror as a medium for the expression of cultural and social issues, this collection will take advantage of an underdeveloped field of scholarship and create new scholarly conversations focused on youth and young adult television and horror film.
5. Reimagining the Gothic 2019: Creative Competition, University of Sheffield. Deadline: 11 March 2019.
Sheffield Gothic is delighted to announce our 2019 Reimagining the Gothic creative competition!
Each year as part of Reimagining the Gothic we hold a creative showcase: an opportunity to explore the theme through various creative methods. This year, that theme is ‘Returns, Revenge, Reckonings’ – think everything from Senecan tragedies to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, from noble avengers to usurping Counts, from vengeful lovers to prophetic witches.
