2006 TRANS-FORMING FEMINISM CONFERENCE CALL FOR PROPOSALS

The 3rd Annual Trans-Forming Feminism Conference is currently in its 
planning
stages. This one-day conference is to be held at the State University of New
York at New Paltz (SUNY New Paltz) on April 22, 2006.

We are looking to create a conference that will explore the issues 
connecting
and dividing the transgender and feminist communities. We want to 
address the
fears, myths, and misunderstandings that often keep these movements from
building coalitions together as well as the bridges that stand firm in
connecting these movements. We want to hear lots of different voices, 
for no one
voice speaks for everybody.

We are looking for new, innovative, dynamic, refreshing, and honest 
proposals
for workshops, papers, panels, and performance pieces. We are especially
interested in receiving proposals that further explore the gender-queer
community, multi and pansexual communities, the exploitation of race, class,
ableism and the queer and feminist communities, third wave feminism and its
interactions with other feminist roots, the "not trans enough" phenomenon,
trans-phobia within the feminist-lesbian communities, and any and all 
relevant
issues.

The deadline for submitting proposals is February 18, 2006.

conference theme, and the topics and activities the presentation will 
include as
