Holt Jr." ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 2 Oct 94 22:24:21 PDT From: Lois Amy Leveen To: lcrew@andromeda.rutgers.edu Subject: graduate lesbi/gay/bi studies conference ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- QUEER FRONTIERS, the 5th annual national l/g/b graduate student conference, will be hosted by the university of southern california, los angeles, on march 23-26, 1995. Through panel presentations, performances, conversations, and cultural events, QF offers a forum for imagining further horizons in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender debates throughout the disciplines. While California and the West have served in European American history as the mythic and actual frontier, we hope to broadly engage and question the mythic trajectory from ethnic, queer, and other perspectives. This conference invites students, activists, performers, and artists from all disciplines to engage in collective discussion of new approaches to queer worldmaking in its broadest, most inclusive sense. Alternative presentation formats are encouraged. The conference planning committee requests proposals (1-2 pages) for papers and presentations that discuss, interrogate, and contest issues of alternative sexuality. For a complete call for papers - and an attractive QF poster - or to submit a proposal, please contact QUEER FRONTIERS, 420 Taper Hall, University of Southern California, University Park, LA CA 90089-0354. Deadline for submission of proposals is December 16, 1994. The conference committee hopes this year's conference will continue to draw scholars from an increasing number of disciplines and home campuses. Please take a few minutes to forward this message to any individuals, groups, newsletters, bulletin boards, etc., on-line or otherwise, where you think it might be read by interested graduate students. Thank you for helping us reach as many potential presenters and attendees as possible.
