CFP: Stanford-Leuphana Summer Academy on Humanities and Media 2026: Periodization
After a one-year hiatus, the Stanford-Leuphana Summer Academy on Humanities and Media is back! The theme for 2026 is Periodization, and we'll meet for the week of June 22-26 in Berlin. How, why, and with what epistemic implications is history divided into temporal segments? Periodizations—whether in the form of epochs, ages, turning points, or more heroic “eras”—belong to the most fundamental and at the same time most frequently contested historiographical operations in literary, art, and media studies.

Methods Cafe: “Race, Repetition, and Seriality in Games and Contemporary Media” — Austin Anderson and Shane Denson in Conversation, Feb. 11, 2026
"Race, Repetition, and Seriality in Games and Contemporary Media." Videogames and race have intermingled since the earliest days of the medium, yet game studies has yet to develop a sustained methodology to contend with the racial logics and aesthetic practices embedded within game texts. How do videogames function as racial projects? Does race function as a structuring force within game design?

EXTRA/PHENOMENALITIESJanuary 22–March 13, 2026Stanford Art Gallery OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday, January 22, 5-7pm What are the limits of experience? This exhibition explores forms of appearance that press against the edges of perception—phenomena that are felt only indirectly, sensed as traces, intensities, or disturbances rather than as stable objects. “Extra/phenomenality” refers to this ambiguous zone of surplus and slippage: where aspects of the world exceed or elude our usual modes of noticing, while still shaping how we see, feel, and understand.
