Queer Parenting: Call for Papers
NEW Demeter Press Call for Papers - Book on Queer Parenting..PLEASE
CIRCULATE WIDELY
Attached and below is a New CFP from Demeter Press - Queer Parenting
(edited by Rachel Epstein)..PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY
http://www.yorku.ca/crm/DEMETER%20PRESS/Queer%20Parenting%20cfp%2007.htm
CALL FOR PAPERS
Demeter Press is seeking submissions for an edited collection on
QUEER PARENTING
Publication Date: Fall, 2008
Editor: Rachel Epstein
We are excited to be seeking submissions for a new book on queer
parenting. We want the book to reflect current thinking, research,
debates, issues, experiences and concerns related to LGBTT2IQ
(lesbian,
gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, 2-spirit, intersex and queer)
parenting/raising children. We welcome submissions from parents,
children, students, activists, scholars, artists and others interested
in this area.
We are seeking:
*academic papers
* reports on community-based and other research
* personal stories and reflections that incorporate
social/historical/political context
* poetry
*art work
We hope the book can begin to reflect the enormous diversity that
exists
across queer parenting experiences and raise interesting and possibly
provocative questions about the
implications of queer-identified
people
raising children. We particularly welcome submissions from those who
are marginalized within “queer” communities.
We want to move from the defensive position we have historically been
placed in (i.e. “proving” that our children are okay) to embrace the
broad complexity of issues that concern us and our children.
Abstracts/Proposals (250-300 words) due: January 1, 2007
Acceptances will be made by: February 28, 2007
Accepted submissions due: July 1, 2007
Please send inquiries and abstracts/proposals to:

In non-related or semi related news, let me ask you my question du jour... I met this guy on line, he is bi, has a history of poly relationships resulting in mixed feelings on poliness, is in the early stages of a mtf transition, has 6 year old son, is very actively pagan and majored in Religion.... and is beautiful and smart...
Seriously, I'd settle for friends but all it would take is a word whispered and I'm going fall head over heels, if I'm not already. We had one date, immediately after he had a break up and we talked and drank tea... nothing happened. Then out of the blue he asked me out again. I brought over cheesecake, found out his Biirthday was on Monday, played chess with his son, got a invite to his Yule ritual and we talked for hours. I could have talked to him all night. He asked if I was still available. We spoke about relationship goals and compatibility... but I didn't even get a kiss goodnight. I volunteered a hug.
Should I just accept that its friends (which s cool)... or do you think there is some chance that he is interested in more... I sent him an email levelling just this question... but I wanted your impression.
In other news, I've been invited to my first ever play party! (does that mean I'm poly again?) hmmm... I should call you soon. I miss you.
