>> Dear activists and academics,
>>
>> I am pleased to announce the call for submissions to the upcoming
>> book, /Gender Query: Explorations of Identity, Expression, and
>> Embodiment/ which will be published by Cambridge Scholars Press later
>> this year, or early 2007. The original concept of this book came out
>> of the amazing activism currently going on in Eastern Europe around
>> the areas of gender activism and LGBT human rights. The aim of this
>> text is to provide a cross-cultural and interesting look into various
>> issues surrounding gender.
>>
>> I am currently seeking proposals for academic papers relating to
>> gender variance and gender identity and/or expression. Gender variance
>> can include anything that you feel goes against the expectations of
>> men and women in a particular society. Papers need to be between 3,000
>> and 5,000 words and should address one or more of the following, in
>> relation to gender: trans issues, performance, linguistics, sexuality,
>> religion, or queer identity and culture. Proposals with an
>> international scope will make me very happy, but this is not a
>> requirement for publication. Additionally, please don’t feel that you
>> have to be well known or widely published to submit something.
>>
>> I am also looking for creative, preferably autobiographical,
>> submissions of 1,000 to 1,500 words also dealing with the topic of
>> gender variation. Although I am eager to receive proposals from anyone
>> who has something interesting to say, people from outside the US and
>> the UK are strongly encouraged to submit proposals.
>>
>> *This is an open call, please distribute widely. *
>>
>> The proposal deadline has been extended to *March 30, 2006*. Proposals
>> should be no more than 500 words, please include your email address,
>> postal address, and telephone number.
>>
>> Final submission deadline: *June 15, 2006*
>>
>> Please send proposals (and any questions you may have) to:
>> GenderQueryBook@yahoo.com
>> <us.f604.mail.yahoo.com/ym/Compose To=GenderQueryBook@yahoo.com>
>>
>> Sincerely,
>>
