This came in my mail yesterday. If you are in that area and would like to participate, please contact the organizers directly. I'll be there and am doing two workshops and one of the keynote presentations.

Urgent: Bi and People of Color Workshops Needed For TBC

Transcending Boundaries, (a conference on bisexual/pansexual, trans/genderqueer, and intersex issues on October 24-26, 2003 at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst), is still looking for workshops! We have received many fabulous transgender-related submissions, but we still need bisexual and people of color workshops. Our deadline (Sept. 17th) and the conference are fast approaching.

We’re looking for workshop presenters—anywhere from first-timers to experienced presenters, who are interested in doing workshops on the topics described below. Anyone who is interested is encouraged to submit a workshop.

Can you help us? We need content in the following areas:

Bisexual visibility
Labeling
Pansexuality
People of color
Anti-Racism
Coming out as Bisexual/Pansexual
Bisexuals in relationships
Spirituality
How to be an ally for bisexuals
Legal issues
Intersex health issues
Organizing
Intergenerational issues
Older adults
Parenting
SOFFA (Significant Others, Friends, Families and Allies) Issues
Working class issues
Youth

We have pushed back the deadline a few more days in order to get more content in these areas. The FINAL deadline for workshop submissions is ***September 17th**, so act quickly!

You can submit a workshop proposal online at www.transcendingboundaries.org/workshops.php, or call Lisa Jacobs at 860-798-0705 to receive a paper form in the mail. If you have any questions about workshops, you can email the workshop coordinators, Lisa Jacobs (r27@comcast.net) and Aidan Kotler (aodhan42@lycos.com).

Please pass this message on to anyone you know who might be interested. Thank you!
