DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 1, 2004

We are considering proposals for sessions organized around a theme, 
special panels, and/or individual papers. Sessions are scheduled in 1½ 
hour slots, ideally with four papers or speakers per standard session, 
although discussion sessions/round-robin panels may be larger.

We welcome any topics pertaining to the body and physical difference, 
but are especially interested in presentations that include an 
exploration of the tension between deviant and normalized bodies in 
their many forms, of the ways in which societies construct their 
concepts of the normal, and/or of the variety of strategies used by 
those who attempt to challenge and subvert the parameters of those 
constructions.

Should you or any of your colleagues be interested in submitting a 
proposal or have any questions, please contact the area chair (see below).

Submit a one-page (150-250 word) proposal or abstract (via regular mail 
or e-mail) by November 1, 2004, to:
