2027 Inter-Humanities Symposium

The inaugural Inter-Humanities Symposium at Florida State University presents a unique opportunity for undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty to share their research and creativity with scholars and students across the humanities. The event will explore the theme "Borderless World: Text, Image, and Sound" through conference-style presentations, performances and exhibits, as well as keynote speeches from renowned interdisciplinary scholars. The symposium invites proposals organized around the theme in formats including individual papers, organized panels and poster presentations.

“Borderless World: Text, Image, and Sound” challenges conventional notions of borders, margins, and disciplinary divisions by foregrounding concepts such as fluidity, liminality, hybridity, translation, migration, relationality, and worldmaking. Reflecting the symposium’s interdisciplinary mission, we particularly seek contributions that bring multiple disciplines, methods, media, or areas of inquiry into conversation. Proposals should demonstrate how their subject, approach, or form crosses, challenges, or reimagines disciplinary boundaries and reveals meaningful connections across fields. 

The call is open to students, academics, artists, and professionals of all ranks and stages in their career. All proposals should be submitted via this link. The deadline to submit is Nov. 15 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

The symposium requires in-person participation and cannot accommodate online presentations.
