Subject: CALL FOR PAPERS

UNCA Fourth Annual GLBT Studies Conference

Queer Intersections: Community, Identity, and Public Space

Call for papers/panels/performances/workshops exploring the expression
of queer identity and community in public space, including the media,
the arts, the university, the political arena, and the marketplace.
What are the benefits and costs of queer visibility in the public
realm?  How are identities and communities supported and/or undermined
in the context of public forums?  What role do cultural resistance and
nonconformity play in social change?

Yale University.  Author of Freaks Talk Balk: Tabloid Talk Shows and
Sexual Nonconformity (University of Chicago Press1998).

of visibility, public space, and intersecting identities in queer
communities as they relate to the following topics: -class and
queerness -race and queerness -transgender identity and community
-disability and queerness -performance theory -activism and social
change

New this year! Pedagogy Sessions

issues of pedagogy.  We are hoping to hold sessions that focus on how

difference. Offerings that are geared to GLBT students and faculty and
