AALS Mid-Year Meeting Workshop on Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity Issues—Washington, DC

The AALS 2014 Mid-Year Meeting Workshop on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Issues will be held June 6-7, 2014, with registration beginning on Thursday, June 5.

It will appeal to a full range of teachers and scholars in all subject areas by creating opportunities for a rich dialogue about the meaning, contours, and status of equality for sexual minorities, including discussions on “beyond identity” and “new frontiers.” We welcome participation by all AALS members and particularly all sexual minorities.

The organizers seek proposals for papers and presentations. Submissions are due Oct. 15, 2013.

In an effort to be broadly inclusive for all scholars writing in these areas, this Workshop offers two concurrent sessions where scholars may present their works. The first set of concurrent sessions
will feature presentations on a range of related themes, and the second will provide an opportunity for scholars to receive detailed feedback on their works-in-progress. The first set of concurrent sessions focuses on completed papers, which have been recently submitted for publication or published, and the second set of concurrent sessions will focus on works-in-
progress with feedback provided to the authors.
