Trans-Forming Feminism Conference:
Call for Proposals
The 3rd Annual Trans-Forming Feminism Conference is
currently in its planning stages. This one-day
conference
is to be held at the State University of New York at
New
Paltz (SUNY New Paltz) on April 22, 2006.
We are looking to create a conference that will
explore
the issues connecting and dividing the Transgender and
Feminist communities. We want to address the fears,
myths,
and misunderstandings that often keep these movements
from
building coalitions together, as well as the bridges
that
stand firm in connecting these movements. We want to
hear
lots of different voices, for as we all know, there is
no
one voice that speaks for everyone.
We are looking for new, innovative, dynamic,
refreshing,
and honest proposals for workshops, papers, panels,
and
performance pieces. We are especially interested in
receiving proposals that further explore the
gender-queer
community, multi and pan sexual communities, the
exploitation of race, class, ableism and the queer and
feminist communities, third wave feminism and its
interactions with other feminist roots, the "not trans
enough" phenomenon, trans-phobia within the
feminist-lesbian communities and any and all relevant
films.
The deadline for submitting proposals is February 18,
2006.
