Queer Text(ures) April 4th, 2008

Library and Archive OUTreach is pleased to announce the 2008 Symposium:
Queer Text(ures): Reading and Writing LGBT Community History.

10:00 am - 4:00 pm
April 4th, 2008 at the University of California, Los Angeles
Graduate School of Education and Information Studies
Room 111


The focus of this symposium is on how community history is written
through literacy and publication, and how we as information
professionals can contribute to its commemoration.

Our hope is that this will be a forum of diverse voices from a variety
of backgrounds, engaged in dialogue about the strands of history and
identity that tie us together in community.
