<P><FONT SIZE=2>Call for papers: QUEER WOMEN’S DISCOURSES & REPRESENTATIONS<BR>
<BR>
Panel at the Twentieth Anniversary Lavender Languages and Linguistics Conference, American University (Washington, D.C.), 15-17 February 2013<BR>
<BR>
This panel will run for its second year to explore current developments, using a range of linguistic approaches, to an understanding of “non-normative” women’s experiences and practices. Papers will engage with the myriad identities falling under the umbrella term of “queer”. Papers may focus on such identities/categories as lesbian and bisexual women, transgendered women, women who are polyamorous or engage in non-heteronormative sexual practices, as well as research into genderqueer identities and representation, for example. Abstracts are welcomed from those engaged in research into any aspect of queer womanhood.<BR>
<BR>
Please send abstracts of approx. 250 words to lucy.jones@hull.ac.uk by 31st October 2012. Please feel free to email before this date with informal proposals or enquiries.<BR>
<BR>
