AMS-LGBTQ Study Group Call for Graduate Student Papers

The program for the 2008 annual meeting of the AMS-LGBTQ Study Group will be "A Graduate Student Forum for New Research."  We are soliciting proposals from graduate students for 10-15 minute presentations describing their work on LGBTQ topics.  Presentations should also address general topics of interest to the LGBTQ scholarly community such as new research challenges; new sources or theories; new or unexamined genres, composers, and historical eras; new articulations of gender and sexuality through music. These presentations need not be formally delivered papers, but they should be well organized.

Please send a proposal of 250 words describing your research topic and organized presentation as an email attachment to Judith Peraino <jap28 at cornell.edu> by August 1, 2008.  The program committee will select three or four presentations from those submitted.  Decisions will be made within two weeks of the submission deadline.
