Queer U is coming up!

The full schedule for the conference has just been released. Bobby Noble is giving what sounds like a very exciting keynote talk entitled “Edgy Bodies: Porn Pedagogies, Porn as Method.”

The conference is happening on Saturday, February 9, from 9 to 6, and is followed by a wine and cheese reception. It’s a great way to hear about the work that grad students are doing in the area of gender(s) and sexuality(ies) at UBC and beyond… We hope to see you there!

First Friday Social: Friday November 30th 6:00-8:00 p.m

December’s First Friday social will be held on Friday, November 30th at The Wolf and Hound.  Come join us for a drink and some food before we enter exam season!  If you have joined us in the past you know there will be good people and conversation.  If you’re new, why not come out and meet some new grad students from all areas of the university?  Yes, we know that this Friday is technically not the first Friday of December, but since many people are busy or away next month, we thought we would get a head start.  Look for the area with the rainbow flag, or call Alexis at 778-847-0773 if you have trouble finding us.

Call for Papers – Queer U conference

As part of Outweek (Feb 4-9), Pride UBC is organizing Queer U, an annual graduate-level academic conference on sexualities and genders. The conference centers on bringing the research and work of graduate students and established scholars from across the West Coast of North America and beyond to a broad audience in an attempt to foster understanding and discussion.  The deadline to submit an abstract has been extended to December 5th.  Visit blogs.ubc.ca/queeru for more information.

A Christmas Carol in Gay Apparel – a play by the Leaping Thespians

The Leaping Thespians presents their parody of A Christmas Carol, with a lesbian twist!  The ghost of Marley is a college girlfriend who visits Crooge many years later. Marley admits to her own past homophobia and urges Crooge to come out. Her warning is followed by visits from the Ghosts of Lesbians Past, Present and Future.  One of The Network’s members is performing in (and helped write) the production, so show your support!  leapingthespians.ca/ChristmasCarolInGayApparel.html

Outweek 2012 starts Monday at noon! There are lots of events happening over the next two weeks, so don’t forget to check out the full schedule of events.

And of course, we especially look forward to seeing you at our Games Night on February 9, the film screening with Ugandan LGBT activist Val Kalende on Feb 14, and at the Queer U academic conference on Feb 15!
