Hi everyone, the Appearance Matters 6 conference has just been announced - see below.
I have organised symposiums on sexuality and gender issues at the last two AM conferences and these have been very well received by a large and enthusiastic audience!
With my colleague Nikki Hayfield, I will be organising either a symposium or (ideally) a day long stream of papers on LGBT/queer/feminist perspectives on appearance and embodiment for AM6 in July 2014. If you are working in this area, and would be interested in presenting, please let me know: [log in to unmask]
I will send out another call for presenters after abstract submissions open in October.
Cheers, Victoria
