	Information		The LA Queer Studies Conference is the successor to last year’s QFac conference held at USC, and the QGrad conferences held for the last six years at UCLA. Although we have abandoned the conference for graduate students only, we have encouraged substantial graduate student participation, since one of the goals of the new format is to foster the exchange of ideas between graduate student and faculty scholars.
			The conference is free and open to the public. There is no registration fee.
			The conference has been organized jointly by the USC Center for Feminist Research and the UCLA Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies Program.
			The Saturday events at UCLA are cosponsored by the following UCLA units: the Graduate Division, the Division of Humanities, the Division of Social Sciences, the Chicano Studies Research Center, the Center for the Study of Women, and the departments of Anthropology, Art History, Asian American Studies, English, French and Francophone Studies, Musicology, and Spanish and Portuguese. The conference organizers are grateful for this support.
			For further information, please contact the UCLA LGBTS office at 310 206 0516 or lgbs@humnet.ucla.edu
