============================
Dear activists and academics,

I am pleased to announce the call for submissions to the upcoming book, 
Gender Query: Explorations of Identity, Expression, and Embodiment which 
will be published by Cambridge Scholars Press later this year, or early 
2007. The original concept of this book came out of the amazing activism 
currently going on in Eastern Europe around the areas of gender activism and 
LGBT human rights. The aim of this text is to provide a cross-cultural and 
interesting look into various issues surrounding gender.

I am currently seeking proposals for academic papers relating to gender 
variance and gender identity and/or expression. Gender variance can include 
anything that you feel goes against the expectations of men and women in a 
particular society. Papers need to be between 3,000 and 5,000 words and 
should address one or more of the following, in relation to gender: trans 
issues, performance, linguistics, sexuality, religion, or queer identity and 
culture. Proposals with an international scope will make me very happy, but 
this is not a requirement for publication. Additionally, please don’t feel 
that you have to be well known or widely published to submit something.

I am also looking for creative, preferably autobiographical, submissions of 
1,000 to 1,500 words also dealing with the topic of gender variation. 
Although I am eager to receive proposals from anyone who has something 
interesting to say, people from outside the US and the UK are strongly 
encouraged to submit proposals.

This is an open call, please distribute widely.

The proposal deadline has been extended to March 30, 2006. Proposals should 
be no more than 500 words, please include your email address, postal 
address, and telephone number.

Final submission deadline: June 15, 2006

Please send proposals (and any questions you may have) to: 
GenderQueryBook at yahoo.com

Sincerely,
Jakob Hero
Gender Query editor
