Literary and Cultural Studies” will be held on November 22 and 23,
2025, at the Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL)
institute in Al-Weibdeh, Amman, Jordan. The conference is organized
jointly by Contemporary Arab Diasporic Literary Studies (CALDS), an
international research group based at the University of Jordan, and

literature, film, digital culture, and other modes of cultural
expression.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
 - Diaspora, ethnicity and migration studies
 - Identity, belonging and hybridity
 - Adaptations and appropriations of Shakespeare by Arab writers in
diaspora
 - Post-9/11 Islamophobia and racialization
 - Transnationalism and border studies
 - Language, code-switching in Arab diasporic literature
 - Arab diasporic media and film productions
 - Trauma studies in Arab diasporic studies
 - Space and identity in Arab diasporic studies
 - Ecocritical approaches to Arab diasporic studies
