The Newer Normal:
Global Perspectives on Sexuality and Gender
Saturday March 2, 2014

Since the defeat of Proposition 8 banning gay marriage in California, the LGBT movement has claimed several significant victories in the struggle for civil rights. Despite these advances, the movement for the rights of gender non- conformists have been slower to be realized. Discrimination on the basis of gender identity and gender expression is a particularly daunting issue and this issue is both within and outside of the LGBT movement. The 16th Annual Sarah Lawrence Women’s History Conference seeks to understand all aspects of gender identity and gender expression.

Specific panel topics may include, but are not limited to:

• Law and gender identity

• Transgendered children

• Evolution of gendered language

• Health and gender identity

• Genderqueer and non-binary identities

• Transgender activism

• The history of sexuality and gender

Proposals should be no more than two pages maximum. Please include a short description of each presentation and a one- page c.v. for each presenter. Proposals for panels are especially welcome, but we will also consider individual papers. E-mail submissions are preferred.

Deadline: Friday, December 9, 2013
