Femme to Femme: Call for submissions Deadline: 11/1/15 Femme to Femme is a literary non-fiction, varied anthology seeking to explore femme* identity in the 20thand 21st century through poetry, prose, essays, stories/narratives, illustration/art and photography. Femme to Femme seeks to challenge public discourse about and around femmeness because it often has a white, classed, cis-gender woman center, and is only discussed in relationship to masculinity - never each other. It is a project that prioritizes the lives, needs, and desires of femmes of all lived experiences; It is a call to action and celebration of the personal, political, and transformative self.

My research project topic is on Latina Bisexuality, ages 21-40 years old, and who have or are pursuing a higher education. It would be an interview research project that would consist of asking questions that cater to understanding the intersection between the Latina culture and bisexuality. It would be strictly confidential and the interviewee's name would be completely anonymous in my research. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to participate as an interviewee. There is the exception of doing a SKYPE interview if we can't personally. |
