Dear [left blank]

Once again is is time to begin the pre-MLA Convention issue of the Gay Studies Newsletter. I am writing you since you are an officer, chair of a meeting, or other concerned person to ask for news. In particular I need the following sorts of information:

1) News of scheduled meetings at the Convention, especially titles and subjects of papers, or specific speakers. Presumably the Program will not print paper titles again this year, and copy for it had to be in so early that surely there have been many developments people would like to know about when they are planning what sessions to go to. Let me have a time and place, too, just in case the Program should not arrive till too late for the Newsletter.

2) I would especially like to know of any papers related to gay studies that are to be presented at other sessions, for one may very well not spot them in looking over the Program–especially since it no longer lists titles. Not only your own papers, but your friends’--ask around, please.

3) Other academic news, or occasionally political news. Titles of articles you have published; books related to academic interests that others might find useful; campus situations or legal cases relevant elsewhere; news relating to gay studies and gay or lesbian teachers in general. (Anyone have any specifics on the GAU conference, for instance?)

The deadline for this issue will have to be Friday, November 3, so that it can be typed, reproduced, and mailed before Thanksgiving and the subsequent Christmas mail rush.

Thanks!

Edra Bogle, Editor
