Queers & Comics: LGBT Cartoonists’ Conference (CFP)

I just thought I would signal boost this call for proposals as it sounds like it is going to be a great conference. The keynote speakers are Howard Cruse and Alison Bechdel! How amazing is that?

Here is more information taken directly from the website:

Queers & Comics brings LGBTQ cartoonists, comics writers, and artists together with scholars and fans in order to document the history and significance of queer comics. This conference spotlights the veterans of LGBTQ cartooning in North America and internationally, with forums for working artists to share their knowledge and to discuss how to navigate the comics industry. In lieu of traditional academic panels, roundtable discussions will foster lively and diverse dialogues about how queer comics reflect and critique queer culture. Queer comics publishers, editors, independent scholars, educators, and journalists are also encouraged to attend.

Presented by CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies
Location: The Graduate Center, City University of New York, 365 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY
Date: May 7-8, 2015
All proposals are due by November 15.
