Call for Papers: Global Lesbian Cinema for The Journal of Lesbian Studies. This issue will explore the lesbian experience as it figures in fiction and documentary, narrative and experimental, mainstream and independent films, from diverse cultures/nations across the globe and in various stages of development.

20 years since the reclamation of the word ‘queer’ by the LGBTQ community this conference would like to take a closer look at broad themes of queer sexualities through time and space, non-normative sexual constructions and queer sexual identities from a diverse range of perspectives by scholars working in various academic disciplines.

The Lesbian Lives Conference has been organised by the Women’s Studies Centre at University College Dublin for the past seventeen years and in 2011 it celebrates its 18th birthday in Brighton. The conference is a mix of academics, activists, performers, artists and writers and is open to all genders and any political and sexual orientations. There is an ethos of welcome and accessibility.
