Call for Papers
Special Issue of Harvard Educational Review:  Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals,
Transgendered People, and Education

The Harvard Educational Review is a journal of opinion and research in the
field of education.  We are planning a special issue devoted to exploring
the lives and experiences of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered
students and educators.  In light of the growing climate of homophobia, we
feel it is particularly important to provide a forum that gives voice to the
lives and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered young
people, teachers, and others who have positive regard and concern for
members of these communities.  We want papers that explore the day-to-day
experiences of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered students,
parents, teachers, administrators, and counselors in schools and other
educational settings.  Our hope is that we can provide a forum to portray
the realities of their experiences and the ways in which their learning,
teaching, and work in education is affected by their experiences as lesbian,
gay, bisexual, or transgendered.  We are particularly interested in papers
that explore issues where race, class, gender, and sexual orientation
intersect.  We are also seeking papers that describe current research and
innovative programs and practices dealing with related issues of
sexual/gender identity development, race, culture and sexual orientation,
lesbian/gay parenting issues, harassment and homophobic violence,
gay/straight alliances, gay youth and HIV, lesbian/gay studies, policy
issues and organizing for school change.

Manuscripts must be postmarked by September 1, 1995; optional proposals must
be post-marked by May 1, 1995.  For details call Vitka Eisen or Irene Hall,
