CfP: Contributions for interdisciplinary volume on gender and queer

Dear All,

my name is Silvia Antosa and I teach English literature at the University of Palermo. I am currently editing the second volume of a series of interdisciplinary studies on gender and queer studies entitled Omosapiens (info on the first one:
http://www.carocci. it/carocci/ servlet/LoadPage Net?page= 32&init=sec& act=scheda& cod=3756).

Part of the volume is devoted to the state of the art of gender and queer studies in Eastern Europe. I have already contacted scholars from Poland and Russia who will provide a brief essay in which they trace a history of gay/lesbian and queer studies in their own country and then furnish a bibliography which may be useful to Italian readers (the volume is in Italian) who wish to delve into the subject.

I would like to ask you or someone who would be pleased to take part in this project, if you could take part in this project with a short article (about 4-5 pages) in which he/she traces a short history of queer studies in the Balkan area.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

best wishes
