See below for  a description of the Lambda round-table on Queer
Theory to be held at the upcoming APA. Don't forget that you have
to pre-register for this, and space is limited. There will be sign
up sheets on a bulletin board within the Exhibit
area. These will be set up on Thursday, January 8 so that people can
pre-register. The roundtable will take place at Franklin Hall, close to
the Exhibit area.

2009 APA / AIA Roundtable: Queer Theory and Classics

January 10, 2009 12-1:30 p.m.

This roundtable provides a forum for graduate students and faculty to
discuss issues concerning queer theory in Classics. We especially seek
students working on, or interested in, queer theory, and faculty who
teach or research in queer theory. Topics discussed might include: What
is the current state of queer theory in Classics, and how does it
relate to other disciplines? What alliances may be forged between queer
and feminist scholarship? How can one incorporate queer theory into
one's scholarship and/or teaching? Is queer theory marketable? Are
there pitfalls in applying it to Classics? Is "too much" queer theory
professionally risky?
