We are excitedly looking forward to stimulating and interesting presentations about the rich diversity of human sexuality and gender performances. In keeping with a yearly theme, this year's conference will be looking towards visual media as a source of intellectual inquiry. Alternative, Queer and LGBT Television Film and Music and Media will be of particular interest for our Area this year! Listed below are some suggestions for possible presentations, but topics not included here are also welcome. Submissions pertaining to any aspect of gender studies, LGBT studies, and/or sexuality studies are desired from scholars, educators, and students at all levels. We also are particularly pleased to encourage graduate student participation at this year's Joint Conference as a unique opportunity to see both National and Regional Conference attendees! Of particular interest are contributions that explore:
