לא קראתי את הפרטים, אבל קיבלתי את זה כרגע באי-מייל ואולי יעניין מי מכן/ם. אטרקציות מרכזיות: זה בניו יורק, ויש מצב שנוכל לארח (אבל בפרינסטון, שזה שעה וחצי משם).

Conference announcement and call for proposals: Trans Politics, Social Change and Justice The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies (CLAGS) invites proposals for workshops, panels, papers, poster presentations, films and performances for a conference on "Trans Politics, Social Change, and Justice" to be held May 6-7, 2005 in New York City. This conference will provide a venue to strengthen activist and research networks, incite dialogues, share research, and create resources central to creating social change for trans people. Proposals are due December 15, 2004. During two days, conference participants will take part in plenary sessions, breakout groups, and roundtables about trans activism and public policy research on local, state-wide, national, and international levels. Activists and researchers will have the opportunity to further develop their ongoing work and to create new dialogues with trans and non-trans allies. We encourage the participation of trans people in the broadest possible sense of the word "trans". The conference's educational goal is go beyond simple lessons about tolerance and gender diversity and engage participants in an advanced discussion of the experiences and political interests of different trans constituencies, including, but not limited to trans, butch lesbians, drag queens, bi-gendered, two-spirited, drag kings, femme queens, A.G.s, genderqueer, non-gendered, andro, crossdressers, and gender-bender peoples. We welcome presentations and workshops focused on intersex issues. While intersex issues are distinct from transgender issues, the conference focuses on multiple aspects and effects of binary gender frameworks, and alliance between intersex and transgender activists strengthens all of our work The conference's practical goal is to create new interactions and foster ongoing collaborations among grassroots activists, community organizers, researchers, attorneys, LGBT community members, and members of allied communities and organizations. We encourage workshops and roundtables that will promote collaborative work and active discussions. A central concern of this conference will be to create a balanced discussion of multiple areas of trans activism, organizing, legislative, and policy work. We strongly encourage proposals that will expand the horizon of what "trans politics" means. We welcome proposals addressing both well-publicized areas of trans activism and less well-publicized but equally urgent areas of concern, including, but not limited to: --public policy --access to employment, health care and social services --non-discrimination legislation --strategies for litigation --trans politics as a new social movement --immigration --organizing against racial injustice --issues of disability and able-ism in trans and queer organizing --youth issues --elder issues --the impacts of the "War on Terror" Proposal submission instructions Proposals due: December 15th, 2004 Format for workshop/panel submissions. 1. the names and contact information of all the proposed presenters.
