We invite proposals that explore themes of kinship and mediated differences for our dynamic book series!
 
Since 2021, we have published eight volumes, which delve into a range of topics and use wide-ranging methods, with several more books scheduled for publication in the coming years. We invite monographs as well as edited collections and are excited to receive inquiries about completed projects as well as ideas that are still in development.
 
You can find the link to the full CFP here (https://www.uni-muenster.de/Anglistik/Research/Amerikanistik/research/index.html), but broadly, this series is thinking through an array of responses to kinship that see the notion of family as a “working truth” that spans many biological and non-biological relationships, including those that transcend human connections and explore our kinship to the earth, artificial intelligences, and beyond. This book series aims to explore phenomena located at the intersection of technologies, including those which allow for family creation, migration, communication, reunion, and the family as a site of difference. The individual volumes in this series offer insightful analyses of the representations of these phenomena in media, social media, literature, popular culture, and corporeal settings.
 
Some of our books have included:
- Making Kin with Trees: A Cultural Poetics of Interspecies Care by Solvejg Nitzke
- The Hidden Lives of Big, Beautiful Women by Crystal Kotow
- Queer Kinship and Comparative Literature, edited by Anchit Sathi and Alice Ferrebe
