Sex Matters:  Sexualities across the Disciplines
An Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference
February 25, 2006
University of California, Riverside

This conference is a millennial appraisal of the functions of 
sexualities that
will be conducted through a broad interdisciplinary program that seeks 
to bring
together perspectives from the science, humanities, social science and 
artistic
communities. The blanket term "sexuality" is no longer sufficient to 
encompass
the diverse manners in which the term is articulated in popular and academic
spheres. Through a series of posters, panels, and talks, this conference 
seeks
to voice the plurality of discourses surrounding the different "sexualities"
that we encounter in our researches. Enjoy free food and drink, engaging
presentations, adding to your cv, and the opportunity to schmooze with the
greater graduate community. The best panel presentations will be 
published in
the conference proceedings. In addition to artistic submissions, we welcome
interdisciplinary proposals for papers, posters, and panel discussions 
on, but
not limited to the following topics:

chemical and hormonal sexualities
gender theory and desires
reading sexualities in literature
the private lives of plants
biomedical approaches to sexualities
post-Foucaultian sexualities
perversity
performance theory
transexualities
queer theory
sexualities in philosophical discourse
animal husbandry & zoological sexualities
romancing the stoner: drugs and sexualities
sexualities before 1860
