  CALL FOR PAPERS: DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS: 
  JUNE 14, 2004

  Graduate students are invited to present their research or 
  other work on LGBT or queer topics, on sexuality and 
  gender.  Proposals are welcome from all interested 
  graduate students, including those who are now students 
  but who may have completed their graduate degrees by the 
  time of the conference. Presentations at the conference 
  will be limited to 20 minutes.  

  REGULAR PANELS:  Please submit an abstract and a CV (each 
  two pages maximum) to one of the addresses given below.  
  Students whose proposals are accepted will be grouped into 
  panels, each of which will have a faculty 
  moderator/commentator.

  OPEN WORKSHOPS provide an opportunity for advanced 
  graduate students to work more closely with distinguished 
  scholars in the field. All information below relates to 
  Open Workshops only.

  Eligibility: Limited to students who have passed their 
  Ph.D. qualifying exams and are working on their doctoral 
  dissertations.  Be sure to establish your eligibility when 
  you submit your abstract.

  Applications: Submit an abstract and a CV (each two pages 
  maximum) to one of the addresses given below.  Indicate 
  the workshop for which you are submitting the abstract.  
  Your application will be forwarded to the scholar 
  responsible for that workshop who will make the 
  selection.  Please let us know whether you want to be 
  considered for a regular panel if your abstract is not 
  chosen for one of the workshops.

  Process:  If you are selected to participate in one of the 
  open workshops, you will be asked to send a first draft of 
  the paper to the workshop leader by September 1st.  This 
  will allow time for the workshop leaders and presenters to 
  explore ways to strengthen the papers before they are 
  presented at the conference.  The final papers will be 
  circulated to the other students participating in your 
  workshop before the conference.

  Presentation:  At the conference the workshop participants 
  will present their papers at an open session.  The 
  workshop leader will offer a commentary on the papers and 
  the issues they raise in relation to the field as a 
  whole.  The student participants will be invited to 
  comment on the other presentations, which they will have 
  read in advance.
