> 
> In these times of change and tension, Queer, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
> Transgender, Transsexual, Two-Spirit and Intersex (QLGBTTI) communities are
> celebrating our gains and continuing to fight for change. At the same time,
> there is backlash. In the many ways that people can share information and
> ignite dialogue, this conference offers an opportunity to re-open
> conversations within our communities and with allies in an effort to explore
> theories, practices, and the politics of change. 
> 
> By examining and reflecting on the inclusion of QLGBTTI lives and
> experiences, we will develop dialogues on issues of representation, relating
> to race, ethnicity, abilities, gender expression/identity, sex, class, size,
> age and their intersections. We will work to bridge the separation of
> marginalized groups and contested communities to identify sites of action
> and strategies for change. 
> 
> In addition to a dynamic and diverse program of presentations, performances,
> workshops, and papers from various communities, the conference program
> committee looks forward to presenting the following keynote speakers: 
> 
> Sue Ellen Case - Professor of Theatre UCLA. Publications include: "Towards a
> Butch Femme Aesthetic," "Tracking the Vampire," The Domain Matrix:
> Performing Lesbian at the End of Print Culture
> 
> Kevin Kumashiro - Community Activist, Researcher, Director of Center for
> Anti-Oppressive Education, Author of numerous groundbreaking articles and
> books.
