INQUEERY  INTHEORY  INDEED
6th NORTH AMERICAN CONFERENCE ON LESBIAN, GAY AND BISEXUAL STUDIES
NOVEMBER 17-20, 1994
IOWA CITY, IOWA

CALL FOR PAPERS AND CONFERENCE INFORMATION

The program committee of "InQueery InTheory InDeed" invites papers,
workshops, performances, and exhibits related to lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender or queer studies.  We are currently seeking academic papers,
proposals for panel presentations, activist presentations, pedagogical
roundtables, artists' presentations and exhbitions, activist and
academic workshops, performance art, stage plays, readings. Papers and
presentations in English, French, Spanish, American Sign Language, and
other languages welcome.

The first North American conference on lesbian and gay studies was held in
1987 at Yale University.  Growing from the 300 people who attended that
conference to the more than 3,000 participants at the recent
Princeton-Rutgers conference, this conference makes a regional move to the
midwest in 1994.  The conference committee hopes to craft a conference
based on ideas from artists, activists, teachers at all grade levels,
researchers in all fields, journalists, photographers, dancers, writers,
workers and . . . .
