Next September (7th-10th) the University of Arizona will be holding an international transdisciplinary conference on gender, embodiment, and sexuality in Tucson. I can’t go, of course, because it is in the USA, but it does look very interesting. I was particularly intrigued by this comment in the announcement:

It is our hope that this conference will help launch an international transgender studies association; the conference schedule will include a business meeting to discuss this possibility, and to entertain proposals to host future international conferences.

Oh yes please! And can we have the conference sometimes held in countries that I can travel to?

Anyway, if you are interested in going, the information on submitting papers is on Facebook.

Fortunately one event I can go to is Moving Trans History Forward, which is taking place in Victoria, BC in March. That should be seriously cool. And I get to see Vancouver and Victoria, which I have never done before.

I spent much of day scouring bookstores in Glastonbury for books on Mesopotamian history and religion. I got some good stuff too. Trans history FTW!
