    Meanings and Makings of Queer Dance

    This conference seeks to bring together queer studies and dance studies to consider the questions, methods, practices, and politics that preoccupy both fields.  Given the provocative challenges dance studies and queer studies make to hierarchies of power and ways of knowing, this conference will have presentations in a range of formats: traditional paper panels, embodied workshops, performances, and screendance.
