This year's UCLA QUEER Studies Conference welcomes talks or pre-planned panels dealing with any of the following diverse topics/questions/concerns:
· Queering trans-nationalism; queer & trans-nationalism

· Between Sex and Gender: On the politics and poetics of trans/inter sexuality
· Does queer have a race; is race queer?

· Queer embodiment: Performance, Affect, Style
Proposals for individual papers should take the form of abstracts of not more than 300 words; panel proposals of less than 500 words and should include both a list of participants and paper abstracts.
Since one of the goals of the conference is to encourage the exchange of ideas across academic generations, we invite presentations by graduate students, undergraduate students and faculty scholars. Submissions from undergraduates should be accompanied by a brief letter from a faculty member highlighting the strengths of both the student and the student's proposal.
