eTropic Call for Papers: "Decolonizing the Tropics"
Special Issue Theme: Decolonizing the Tropics
This special issue aligns itself with the fields of decolonial, anti-colonial, and postcolonial scholarship, and thinks these theories through the critical notion of tropicality. The aim is to rearticulate these fields in tropical terms, that is, with scholarly, applied/engaged, and creative practices from, about, and with the tropical world. This focus is crucial given that current scholarship in postcolonialism and decoloniality still predominantly originates from European/temperate contexts and is primarily informed by Western philosophies and epistemologies. In order to decolonize this status quo, the special issue recognizes not only that colonial systems have profoundly impacted the tropics, but also that neo-colonial power remains an active material reality. This special issue welcomes papers informed by decolonizing intuitions and from scholars of/from formerly and ongoingly colonized regions of the tropics.
Decolonizing the Tropics seeks disciplinary contributions from:
Ecocriticism, Multispecies Studies, Environmental Humanities
Anthropology, Heritage and Material Studies, Archaeology
Post/colonialism and Decoloniality Studies
Queer, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
Indigeneity and Indigenous Studies
Performance and Cinema Studies
History and Philosophy of Science
Science and Technology Studies
Architecture and Urban Planning
Feminist and Cultural Studies
Gothic and Horror Studies
This special issue centers on three major themes: theoretical engagements with postcolonialism and decolonialization; new vocabularies and vernaculars through which discourses on decoloniality can be initiated; and varieties of practices across disciplinary fields which demonstrate what decolonial tropicality may be – including its entanglement with people, ecology and climate.
We accept writings in disciplinary genres (the scholarly and the creative), and encourage hybrid forms. We also seek submissions engaging material elements—photographs, videos, art, music, theatre, cinema.
CFP Decolonizing the Tropics
This CFP is open to interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary intertwinings, as well as new perspectives on established disciplinary approaches. It invites papers that consider Decolonization of the Tropics through: science and literatures, histories and futures, realities and fictions, mythologies and technologies, knowledges and practices. It invites a wide range of articles and creative works from researchers who engage with the tropical regions of the world: tropical Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Indian Ocean Islands, South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, the tropical north of Australia, Papua and the Pacific Ocean Islands, Hawai’i and the American South.
eTropic: electronic journal of studies in the tropics publishes new research from Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and allied fields on the variety and interrelatedness of nature, culture, and society in the Tropics. ISSN:1448-2940, free open access; indexed in Scopus, Google Scholar, Ulrich's, DOAJ; archived in Pandora, Sherpa/Romeo; uses DOIs and Crossref; ranked Scimago Q1.

Gosling-Lim Postdoctoral Fellowship in Southeast Asian Studies
The Association for Asian Studies is honored to offer the Gosling-Lim Postdoctoral Fellowship in Southeast Asian Studies, made possible by a generous gift from L.A. Peter Gosling and Linda Yuen-Ching Lim.
This fellowship is focused on capability-building in Southeast Asian Studies among scholars who are Southeast Asian nationals based in Southeast Asia and at Southeast Asian institutions. Its goal is to enable such scholars to concentrate on publishing their dissertation research, and/or embark on new post-dissertation research, without the distraction of having to teach, consult, or shoulder administrative burdens, and with the opportunity to expand their scholarly networks and expertise. The intent is that fellowship recipients will develop their careers in Southeast Asia, helping to advance the field of Southeast Asian Studies within the region.
The fellowship provides US$52,000 of funding for postdoctoral research and writing, to be expended over 8-12 months, beginning on September 1, 2023, while the recipient is in residence or otherwise based at an academic institution, in Southeast Asia or abroad, other than their home institution and the institution at which their doctorate was obtained.
The fellowship may be used in any discipline and for any country of Southeast Asia (i.e., Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam).
All applications must be submitted through the AAS application portal by February 15, 2023. Applicants will be notified of decisions in April 2023, and fellowships will begin on September 1, 2023.
