DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 9, 2007

We are considering proposals for sessions organized around a theme, special panels, and/or individual papers. Sessions are scheduled in 1½ hour slots, typically with four papers or speakers per standard session.

Among the topics/themes we may highlight: queers and the 2008 election; the state of queer cinema; indicators of a gay/post-gay culture; queer youth culture; and critique of queer-centered media (e.g., Logo, Curve, PlanetOut). However, proposals addressing any topic at the intersection of popular culture and queerness are welcome.
