Blurr Zine: the next issue... on gender
Zine: Call for submissions... on gender.
Greetings!
The Gender Project is well underway at Indiana University of South Bend. We are a new, student organized, gender advocacy group on campus.
Last month we distributed our first issue of Blurr, a new zine with a focus on gender. It was a great success here at IUSB and soon we hope to be able to share the zine with a much larger audience by making the publication available online.
In the meantime, we are currently compiling works for the second issue. We hope to begin printing in just a few short weeks.
This zine is a focus on all aspects of gender and how it crosses lines of socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, and more.
With as much diversity as we have among our students and faculty here at IUSB (and the larger community), I know there is just as wide a range of creativity. I would like to use these creative voices in order to educate and advocate the versatility and complications of gender as they are portrayed and interpreted in our society.
We're looking for artists, poets, essayists, personal stories, etc. -anything that can be related to gender, be it positive or negative.
Can you help or do you know someone who would be interested? If you would like to send us a submission or if you have questions, please contact us via e-mail.
EDIT: The deadline for the November/December issue is November 15th. If you would like to submit a piece and aren't able to make this deadline, we will consider the submission for upcoming issues (in the Spring).
Additionally, at this time there are no clear cut guidelines or restrictions for submissions. If, after receiving a submission, we feel the material is questionable in "appropriateness" we would contact that author at that time. (I.E. We may request permission from author to remove/edit some "language" such as curse words or certain labels.)
