AsiaPacifiQueer at QUEER MATTERS, London, May 2004.
>From Friday 28 May to Sunday 30 May 2004, King's College, London, in =
association with New York University's Center for the Study of Gender =
and Sexuality is holding an interdisciplinary QUEER MATTERS conference: =
http://www.queermatters.org. This will be a major queer studies =
conference focusing on queer theories, queer histories and queer =
cultures in the global context. AsiaPacifiQueer (APQ) =
http://apq.anu.edu.au, an Australia-based group of academics and =
students researching queer peoples and cultures in the Asia-Pacific =
region, would like to encourage scholars working on queer topics and =
issues in the Asian region to participate in this event. In particular, =
the APQ team is interested in helping organize a stream of queer-themed =
panels within the QUEER MATTERS conference. APQ believes that a series =
of themed panels looking at queer theory in Asian contexts will help to =
challenge the ethnocentrism of some Anglo-American paradigms and raise =
the profile of Asian approaches within the field of Queer theory. We =
also think that a dedicated stream of Asian-themed panel presentations, =
as well as having Asian papers dispersed throughout the conference =
program, will contribute to building networks of Asian queer studies =
scholars and help alert colleagues working on European and American =
queer cultures to the existence of dynamic Asian appropriations of queer =
theory.
If you are interested in presenting on Asian queer theories, histories =
or cultures at QUEER MATTERS and would like to participate in a panel =
with other scholars working on queer Asian topics, please contact either =
Dr Mark McLelland m.mclelland@uq.edu.au or Dr Peter Jackson =
peterj@coombs.anu.edu.au with a title and a 250-word abstract by 25 May =
2003. (Please note that APQ is unfortunately unable to offer financial =
assistance for conference attendance.)
