This panel will explore the myriad roles sexuality has played in the literature, culture and history of the U.S. South. Potential topics might include the intersections between class, race, gender and sexuality; the relationship between social justice and sexual identity; the social geography of gay, lesbian, bisexual, heterosexual, and transgendered spaces; the social institution of the family and the formation of sexuality; the ways in which the global economy, nationalism, and regionalism shape sexual identity; the erotics of friendship; the relationship between the public sphere and private life; reproduction and maternity; tactics of secrecy, indirection, and ambiguity; and the relationship between religion and sexuality. Given the multi-faceted nature of this topic, proposals of an interdisciplinary nature are particularly encouraged.
Please send a 150-200 word abstract plus a one-page C.V. by September 1, 2010 to Dr. Lisa Hinrichsen, Department of English, University of Arkansas, 333 Kimpel Hall, Fayetteville, AR 72701 or at lhinrich at uark.edu. Proposals and queries welcome before the deadline.

Black Women, Gender and Families (BWGF) welcomes research and theoretical submissions in history, sociology, anthropology, psychology, education, economics, political science, and English that are framed by Black Women's Studies perspectives and a policy or social analysis. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and transnational studies of the African Diaspora and other women, families, and communities of color are also encouraged.
The primary mission of BWGF is to analyze, develop, and further Black Women's Studies paradigms. It centers the study of Black women and gender within the critical discourses of history, the social sciences, and the humanities. Second, this journal provides an Africana/Black Studies and Women's Studies cross-field and interdisciplinary venue for Black womanist and Black feminist theories, methodologies, and analyses. Third, it more fully integrates gender as an analytic category, and strengthens Black Women's Studies as a paradigm for studying black women, gender, families, and communities--especially policy-related issues within the broader disciplines of Black Studies and Women's Studies. Fourth, this journal provides the space for interdisciplinary, comparative/transnational studies of Global Africa/the African Diaspora and other women, families, and communities of color.
