This two-day conference will consider the diverse ways in which journeys undertaken by LGBTQ+ people have been represented in North American literature and culture, as well as how queer journeys interact with and impact social structures, transnational relations, and cultural forms. We welcome papers that analyze queer journeys in and across a range of media (including literature, film, television, performance, video games, and other digital media). We particularly invite interested participants to approach the subject from intersectional and transnational perspectives.

This is Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie, the American masterpiece about staying and about leaving, directed by Artistic Director Jay Miller (鈽呪槄鈽呪槄鈽� The Flea, 鈽呪槄鈽呪槄鈽� The Crucible, 鈽呪槄鈽呪槄鈽� This Beautiful Future).
