Moving Trans History Forward 2018
https://www.uvic.ca/mthf2018/

Conference theme: “From Generation to Generation”

Our conference is called Moving Trans History Forward in order to highlight both the history of trans, gender non-binary, and Two-Spirit activists and researchers, and how today’s activists and researchers are moving that work forward.  We invite trans, gender non-binary, and Two-Spirit activists, community-based and academic scholars, students, family members, service providers, and other allies to submit proposals for presentations, panels, posters, workshops, and creative works for the upcoming Moving Trans History Forward conference (#MTHF18).  The conference, March 22nd-25th, 2018, is presented by the Chair in Transgender Studies at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, which is on the traditional territory of the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.

While the theme of the conference is “From Generation to Generation,” we welcome proposals concerning any aspect of trans, gender non-binary, and Two-Spirit people and communities. We especially encourage submissions on topics related to the histories and voices of Indigenous, racialized, and disabled trans, gender non-binary, and Two-Spirit people. Submissions from all perspectives and pertaining to all eras and regions of the world are welcome. Please limit your proposals to unpublished material.  The language of the conference is plain English.

DUE DATE: MIDNIGHT, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26TH, 2017
