What it is: This is a call for papers for an anthology entitled,
Rise and Resist: Young Queer Women Do Activism
What I am looking for: personal essays written by lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women (in their late teens to early thirties) on their participation in queer activism(s). I want to create a snapshot of what young queer women are doing to resist the current oppressive political climate that engulfs our lives. This is an outlet for illustration of our legacy of creative queer women's resistance and an offering of hope for future endeavors in queer activist struggles. Possible topics may include, but are certainly not limited to:
- How one became involved in queer activism/learning how to become an activist
- Everyday activism(s)
- Historical presence of activism
- What we've learned from lesbian separatism/the current place of lesbian separatism
- Queering the queer: bi and trans activisms
- Coalition-building politics
- Gender activism as queer activism
- Experiences in activist organizations/circles
- Activist families (chosen or biological)
- Support networks in queer activism
- The importance of street activism(s), radical activism(s),etc.
- Queer activism in this particular political climate
