[Commlist] Call for News and Events Submissions – Siren! Magazine (Inaugural Issue, May 2026)

Call for News and Events Submissions – Siren! Magazine (Inaugural Issue, 
May 2026)

Siren! Magazine is a transnational student-led feminist magazine 
dedicated to amplifying voices, knowledges, and practices that are often 
submerged within dominant media and cultural ecosystems. Our inaugural 
issue, “Resurfacing feminist voices,” will be launched as an 
intervention into the noise of contemporary media culture, resisting 
silencing, challenging hegemonic narratives, and reclaiming 
communication as a key site for care, solidarity, and transformation.
To accompany our first issue, alongside scholarly submissions, /Siren! 
Magazine/ invites news, announcements, and short reports about events, 
initiatives, and cultural interventions related to submerged knowledges, 
practices, and forms of collective resistance. We aim to remain open to 
any and all spaces. Our intention is to share updates and collaboration 
opportunities transnationally and to foster dialogue across contexts we 
might not otherwise be able to access.
We invite short submissions (200-400 words) that clearly document and 
contextualize specific initiatives, events, or projects. Submissions 
should include key details such as the name of the event or initiative, 
dates, location (if applicable), organizing bodies or collaborators, and 
a brief reflection on its aims, methods, and impact. When relevant, 
contributors are encouraged to include links, images, or contact 
information to support further connection and collaboration.
We welcome submissions that share information about:

  *
    Activist gatherings, workshops, and assemblies, including their
    themes, participants, and outcomes
  *
    Exhibitions, performances, and film screenings, with attention to
    curatorial or artistic interventions
  *
    Community-based media projects and collaborative platforms
  *
    Indigenous, queer, feminist, or diasporic cultural events and
    organizing spaces
  *
    Archival initiatives, memory work, and counter-archives in practice
  *
    Transnational solidarity networks and grassroots organizing efforts

We are especially interested in submissions that critically engage how 
these initiatives challenge dominant media narratives, center 
historically silenced voices, and experiment with alternative forms of 
communication and collective knowledge production.
No article processing charges or other fees are required for submission 
or publication.
How to submit:
Please send your submission by email to 
asc-sirenmagazine@asc.upenn.eduwith the subject line: “Siren! News &
