For the first time since its inception in 1993, the „Lesbian Lives Conference“ is crossing the Atlantic to New York City! The conference is hosted by the Journal of Lesbian Studies, Sinister Wisdom, and CLAGS: the Center for LGBT Studies at the City University of New York. Lesbian Lives brings together academics, artists, writers, and activists to showcase, enjoy, and critically analyze lesbian culture. Rooted in an ethos of inclusivity, dialogue, diversity, and accessibility, the conference welcomes people of all sexualities and genders.
In keeping with its arrival in the global city of New York, this year’s theme is: „The Lesbian International: Creating Networks of Knowledge Across Space and Time“. The aim is to foster international and interdisciplinary conversations on critical issues in lesbian studies today. By engaging with global scholars, activists, and artists, we seek to deepen understanding of the lesbian erotic and generate new knowledge, artistic imaginations, and activist strategies to sustain lesbian lives and resistance.
The organisers invite proposals on (but not limited to) the following themes: Lesbian Desires | Lesbian Memory Work | Lesbian Genius | The Sapphic State | Intergenerational Conversations | Lesbians Spaces | Lesbian Earth | Imagining Lesbian Futures | Read more … (Web)
