CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS - JOURNAL OF LESBIAN STUDIES
Guest Editors: Katherine M. Jamieson and Leila E. Villaverde
The Journal of Lesbian Studies will be devoting a thematic journal issue and book on the topic of In/visible Bodies: Lesbian sexualities and sporting spaces. All thematic issues of the Journal of Lesbian Studies are simultaneously reprinted in book form by Harrington Park Press, the book affiliate of Haworth Press. We hope that the resulting book will be used in lesbian studies courses and will be available in feminist bookstores.
CALL FOR PAPERS - In/visible Bodies: Lesbian sexualities and sporting spaces
While previous explorations of sexuality and sport have emphasized negotiation of identities and gaining of access, this Issue takes analytic aim at Lesbian sporting spaces. From this perspective it seems most productive to give critical attention to the wider social and cultural contexts within which Lesbian sexualities and sport comingle under particular relations of power. Moreover, it seems timely to interrogate the range of sporting spaces available and retrace the origins of lesbian sexualities in sporting contexts, including analyses of physical culture, leisure, physical education, youth sport, exercise, and outdoor physical pursuits to name a few. As well, the need to theorize lesbian sexualities and the underpinning categories of sex/race/gender/ability is becoming increasingly important given the ways in which new articulations of sport, sexuality, and corporeality are occurring in varied social and cultural contexts. Accordingly, this Issue of Journal of Lesbian Studies sets out to explore historical, political, and critical relationships between sport and lesbian sexualities. Thus, we invite scholarship that questions power relations that (re)produce categories of sexuality making certain bodies in/visible. We are especially interested in work that illuminates the interconnections between sport, physical culture, embodiment, and sexualities, as well as analyses that willingly disrupt the impasse of binaries and articulate new analytical perspectives and methodological strategies.
Submissions of empirical and theoretical work are welcome from a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary viewpoints including but not limited to sociology, cultural studies, queer studies, ethnic studies, gender studies, psychology, geography, history, anthropology, and pedagogy. We also seek scholarship that advances a “trans-“ research agenda and articulates sexualities as multiple ruptured norms rendered visible through their sporting embodiments.
Potential topics might include:
*sport, sexualities and intersections with gender, class and race
*postcolonial and/ or “trans-“ critiques of lesbian sexualities and sport
*lesbian sexualities as determinant of sport spaces
*sport and legibility of lesbian bodies
*methodologies for queering sport studies and lesbian sexualities
*sport and the sexualization of space
*sport and the performance of subaltern identities
*critiques of sport media normalizations of lesbian sexualities
*the construction of lesbianism in sport media and literature
*corporeal power and hierarchies of sexualities in sporting spaces
*youth sporting spaces, lesbian sexualities and processes of containment
*the politics of sport and lesbian sexualities in nationalist and supra-nationalist formations
*the relationship between queer subjects, biopolitics and necropolitics
*challenges to hegemonic sexualities in sport
*points of con/divergence in lesbian, feminist, and sport-related social movements
Please send abstracts of up to 500 words as a .doc file to Kathy Jamieson and Leila Villaverde at invisiblebodies@gmail.com by November 15th, 2007. Final articles due Mach 1st, 2007, 10-15 pages in length.

The Position: The interdisciplinary programs in Women’s and Gender Studies and African American Studies at University of North Carolina at Greensboro invite applications for a 9-month, tenure-track appointment at the assistant/associate level. While the academic home will be in WGS, preference will be given to those candidates who have a demonstrated interdisciplinary commitment to both Women’s and Gender Studies and African American Studies (demonstrated through graduate studies, research and/or previous teaching assignments). The most appropriate candidate will have a doctoral degree in Women’s and Gender Studies, African American Studies, or a related field, and will be prepared to teach in both WGS and AFS undergraduate and graduate core curricula, contribute to WGS graduate program concentrations (Health, Leadership), supervise internship experiences, serve on project/thesis committees, and advance a relevant line of research. Candidates must hold or anticipate holding the doctoral degree by August 1, 2008. UNCG’s Women’s and Gender Studies program is one of the oldest in the nation, offering an undergraduate major, a graduate certificate and a master’s degree.
Send letter, cv, and contact information for at least three references to Hephzibah Roskelly, Head of Search Committee, Women’s and Gender Studies Program, PO Box 26170, UNCG, Greensboro NC 27402-6170. Review of applications will begin on November 2, 2007 and continue until position is filled.
For more information about the two programs see http://wgs.uncg.edu and http://www.uncg.edu/afs/. UNC Greensboro is especially proud of the diversity of its student body and we seek to attract an equally diverse applicant pool for this position, including women and members of minority groups. We are an EEO/AA employer with a strong commitment to increasing faculty diversity and will respond creatively to the needs of dual-career couples.
The Programs: The Program in Women’s and Gender Studies is one of the oldest in the nation, has 1 full-time faculty member, and more than 100 faculty affiliates across campus. The program offers a minor, B.A., post-baccalaureate certificate, and M.A. degree programs. The African American Studies program has 1 full-time faculty member, and is in the process of developing a post-baccalaureate certificate to compliment the undergraduate minor, and major. The two programs have a long history of collaboration, and are housed in a shared space in one of the most historic buildings on UNCG’s campus.
About UNCG: UNCG is located in Greensboro, NC, a community known for both contentious gender and racial politics and progressive movements for change. Greensboro residents have become well-known for resisting injustice from the Underground Railroad, the Civil Rights sit-in movement, anti-war activities, immigrants’ rights mobilizations and labor organizing. Drawing on its rich history of challenging the status quo, the area now hosts many grassroots coalitions organizing for racial justice, challenging systems of oppression, experimenting with grassroots democracy, and building community.
The region also has a history linked with higher education. Five colleges and universities are located within the city, including the Historically Black institutions of NC Agricultural & Technical University and Bennett College, helping to encourage Greensboro’s cultural identity. Within this rich context, the Women’s and Gender Studies and African American Studies programs are uniquely situated to advance critical analyses of race, class, gender & sexual orientation while also connecting these analyses to concrete actions in the wider community.
