QStudy-L:

"The Queer Studies List is a forum for academic discussions pertaining to queer theory, an umbrella term encompassing lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual / transgender studies. QSTUDY-L is also intended to promote networking and information sharing between teachers, researchers, librarians, and students -- anyone involved or interested in the field of queer studies."

The Theory-Sex listserv is a space for theoretically informed discussions regarding both past and current debates in Sexuality, Queer Theory and Gender Studies. Theory-Sex is founded on the basic premise that theoretically informed discussions of gender and sexuality are useful ways to promote critical consciousness and political resistance. That said, Theory-Sex welcomes participation and discussion from ALL, regardless of one's academic or professional background. Subscribers are encouraged to ask questions, raise topics of discussion and exchange information and resources. As such, subscribers also should expect to encounter a diversity of opinions and/or debate. To subscribe to Theory-Sex, all you have to do is send a message to listproc@u.washington.edu with 'subscribe theory-sex yourname,' and that's it.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the listowner at contra1@u.washington.edu
