Queer Bibliography in the South: Space, Place, & Community, March 12-14

 

The fourth iteration of the Queer Bibliography Symposium brings together a cross-disciplinary cohort of queer and trans book-workers, or those interested in queer and trans book-work, including librarians, archivists, academics, book sellers, artists, and collectors to think about how space and place (this space and this place) contribute to queer(ing) bibliography. Queer Bibliography in the South seeks to highlight how the dynamics of space and place (both within and outside of the American South) have influenced queer and trans bibliographic history, calling attention to the ways that the queer material presences are produced, documented, preserved, and promoted within a variety of communities: rural and urban, local and international, institutional and communitarian. The conference is cross-period and features papers touching on topics from early medieval Europe to modern day LA.
