Hi Folx!

There's an ongoing international survey that is focused on how trans* folx are personally affected by the situation around COVID-19 and what consequences this has for their physical and mental health.

The survey is available in multiple languages and the research team includes trans-identifying individuals.

Hi Folx!

We are now accepting abstracts for Q***rtopia 2020: New Q***r & Trans Politics?

Abstracts are due January 12 and the conference will be on February 29, 2020.

On its 13th year, Q***rtopia offers graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, activists, organizers, artists, and community practitioners the opportunity to build intellectual community and interrogate questions about gender and sexuality through art practice and performance, popular and academic research, and community engagement.

This year we invite scholarship from a wide range of disciplines on the topic of LGBTQ+ politics, (in)justice, and activism. If you have some work you want to present, send the abstract to [email protected] by January 12, 2020 (Sunday). The full call and details can be accessed here: bit.ly/QUEERTOPIA2020CFA

We welcome submissions that expansively approach the format (research presentation, critical analysis, story telling, etc.) of presented sessions.

We look forward to featuring your work in this conference!

Please feel free to share this call to your network.
