                             CALL FOR PAPERS

     Demeter Press is seeking submissions for an edited collection on

                             QUEER PARENTING

                       Publication Date: Fall, 2008
                          Editor: Rachel Epstein


     We are excited to be seeking submissions for a new book on queer
    parenting. We want the book to reflect current thinking, research,
  debates, issues, experiences and concerns related to LGBTT2IQ (lesbian,
  gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, 2-spirit, intersex and queer)
     parenting/raising children.  We welcome submissions from parents,
  children, students, activists, scholars, artists and others interested
                              in this area.

                             We are seeking:
                             *academic papers
             * reports on community-based and other research
            * personal stories and reflections that incorporate
                   social/historical/political context
                                 * poetry
                                *art work

We hope the book can begin to reflect the enormous diversity that exists
   across queer parenting experiences and raise interesting and possibly
  provocative questions about the implications of queer-identified people
   raising children.  We particularly welcome submissions from those who
               are marginalized within “queer” communities.

   We want to move from the defensive position we have historically been
   placed in (i.e. “proving” that our children are okay) to embrace the
       broad complexity of issues that concern us and our children.
