We would like to have people get in touch with each other, discuss their workshop, work through the details, and then jointly present a workshop which would be stronger than what a single person might be able to do on their own. We believe this will enhance people's networking opportunities from the conference, as well as building stronger workshop conferences, which attendees will be able to get even more out of! ----- + The preceding message is from the queer-studies mailing list + To submit an article, send it to queer-studies@ferkel.ucsb.edu + To sub, unsub, etc., send mail to queer-studies-request@ferkel.ucsb.edu + Do not send mail to queer-studies-owner@ferkel.ucsb.edu; it is + used only to collect bounce messages.
