[OPLINLIST] Call for Presentations: Superman Conference, Oct. 14

[Donald Boozer]

Hello,
In honor of the 85th anniversary of the creation of Superman in Cleveland, Ohio; Ursuline College and the Ohio Center for the Book at Cleveland Public Library are organizing a conference dedicated to exploring the first superhero’s connections to the city of Cleveland, his relationship to the broader cultural environment, and Superman’s legacy within the medium of comics itself.

We encourage submissions of traditional academic conference presentations and panels as well as non-traditional proposals such as live podcasts recordings, comics-making workshops, and other creative programming.

Submissions should consider — but are not limited to — the connection between superheroes and:
the Rust Belt
the immigrant experience
local journalism
Jewish identity
comics history
the city of Cleveland
…or other creative interpretations of these topics

To submit your proposal, please visit:

We encourage submissions that think outside the box!

Submission Deadline Extended to June 15, 2023!
