    ____________________________

    The 2025 HPN Symposium Planning Committee seeks proposals for panels and individual presentations on topics related to the idea of "Podcasting & Power." A conventional academic presentation format is not required. We encourage experimentation. Panels should fit within a 1.5-hour time limit inclusive of Q&A. 

    Preference will be given for full panels of three or more presenters, but individual submissions are welcome and will be grouped with similarly themed proposals. Solo submissions should be suitable for a 15–20 minute presentation. 

    Submissions may touch on such topics as:
    • Podcasting as resistance
    • Speaking truth to power in a post-truth media landscape
    • Who speaks, who listens: power and responsibility in podcasting
    • The role of podcasting in shaping public humanities
    • Algorithms, platforms, and access: who gets heard?
    • Podcasting across borders, languages, and communities
    • Voice, silence, and podcasting's politics of inclusion
    • Building counter-publics and communities through podcasting
    • Collective memory and podcasting as a grassroots archive
    These are just suggestions. If you have other topics or ideas, please submit them.

    Please submit a minimum 100-word abstract for individual presentations or a minimum 250-word abstract for full panel proposals. Please include brief bios for each participant. 

    Proposals are due via Google Form by 5:00 p.m. ET on Monday, September 23. Please contact the HPN Symposium Committee at humanitiespodnetwork@gmail.com with any questions, and include "HPN Symposium 2025" or "Podcasting & Power" in the subject line.
     
    Panelists and discussants will be notified by Tuesday, Oct. 7th. The Symposium will take place on Zoom on Friday, October 24th and Saturday, October 25th.
