Transgender. What is it?

• New front of social action?

• Queer theory spin-off?

• Medical condition?

• Performance-based identity?

• A noun?

• A way of life?

Why ask?

The purpose of this conference is to bring together numerous and diverse voices to engage this issue. We are seeking a blend of theory and practice, debate and performance, activism and insight. Our aim is to utilize constructive conflict as a way to push issues of gender, identity and sexuality forward in new and productive directions.

Inviting papers, performances, art displays, installations, narratives, and moments of provocation. Unconventional modes of inquiry are encouraged.
