- 19. Januar 2026 We are pleased to announce a Call for Papers for the session "Women, Sacred Landscapes, and Ritual Mobility in the Ancient Mediterranean." The session will be part of the 32nd Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists in 2026 in Athens in Greece, August 26-29. Thank you for sharing and for consideration! The deadline to submit your paper proposal for our session is Thursday, 5 February 2026.The session explores the intersections of gender, movement and sacred space in the ancient Mediterranean by foregrounding women’s active engagement with religious space and cult. Across diverse cultural and ethnic contexts, women carried out acts of devotion that transcended domestic boundaries and reshaped religious environments. For this session, we seek papers examining the impact of female agency on the formation of votive and cult practices beyond household and town settings, from peri-urban sanctuaries and cave shrines to sacred centers and distant dedication sites.We welcome papers that explore women’s religious identities, practices and offerings and the social roles through which women negotiated agency and community membership. While the ancient Greek world is central, papers addressing other Mediterranean contexts or cross-cultural interactions are also encouraged. Of particular interest are expressions of women’s ritual agency along routes of colonization, maritime trade, warfare, migration and refugee movement, and enslavement — contexts where ritual ex-votos circulated across cultural spheres and in which devotion may have intersected with obligation, secrecy or despair. Contributions should consider the material, textual, and iconographic evidence with special emphasis on the embodied ritual practice.Interdisciplinary approaches drawing on anthropology, art history, religious studies, and ancient history are welcome to illuminate how women’s activity intersected with dedication journeys and cross-cultural exchange. Ultimately, this session seeks to reassess the gendered dimensions of ancient cult and move beyond traditional male-centered or binary interpretive frameworks. It seeks to highlight women both independently and in conjunction with men sustaining cult traditions. By tracing the relationship between female devotion, space and mobility, we gain insight into networks of gendered power and memory that shaped a connected religious world through women’s ritual presence and movement.
- 14. Januar 2026 Following the Beyond Borders meeting series hosted by the WGSS Department at the University of South Florida, we warmly invite submissions for a special issue of The Archive Revisited Gazette celebrating Chukchee poet Antonina Kymytval’ and her brief but profoundly resonant encounter with Audre Lorde during the 1976 Afro-Asian Writers Conference in Tashkent.Lorde’s essay “Notes from a Trip to Russia” (Sister Outsider, 1984) and her poem “Political Relations” (Our Dead Behind Us, 1986) offer the only detailed accounts of this meeting, providing a rich starting point for reflection, creative engagement, and critical exploration.This special issue invites contributors to explore the intertwined legacies of Black and Indigenous feminist Internationalism, shining a light on the intimate and often overlooked connections that transcend Cold War boundaries. At its heart, the issue celebrates Kymytval’s poetics, Indigenous resilience, and the bold, affective solidarities she shared with Audre Lorde—what Lorde evocatively described as “making love…through our interpreters.”
- 12. Dezember 2025 Briser les barrières: Perspectives psychosociales sur le leadership et la diversitéMalgré les efforts employés pour parvenir à une représentation équilibrée des différents groupes sociaux au sein des sphères décisionnelles, force est de constater que la parité est encore loin. Quelles sont les raisons qui expliquent les barrières qui freinent l’accès des membres de groupes minoritaires aux postes de leadership ? Comment ces personnes se sentent-elles et comment se comportent-elles lorsqu’elles parviennent à gravir les échelons de la hiérarchie professionnelle ? En se basant sur les connaissances actuelles issues de la psychologie sociale, cet ouvrage vise à apporter des éléments de réponse à ces interrogations et à d’autres en lien avec la thématique du leadership minoritaire.À travers onze chapitres rédigés par des expert·es dans leur domaine, l’ouvrage offre une analyse à 360° des différents enjeux associés au leadership minoritaire et propose des pistes d’interventions. Il expose l’état des connaissances actuelles et soulève ainsi de multiples questionnements qui inspireront les recherches futures. Ce recueil s’adresse autant aux étudiant·es et aux chercheur·ses en sciences sociales qu’aux personnes travaillant dans le domaine du leadership et/ou de la diversité.Clara Kulich est professeure associée en psychologie sociale à l’Université de Genève (Suisse).

Ses intérêts de recherche s’inscrivent dans le champ des relations intergroupes, avec une focalisation sur les normes sociales, les dynamiques liées à l’identité sociale, la discrimination et la masculinité.
