The Lesbian Lives Conference is the world\u2019s only annual academic conference in Lesbian Studies – it is a large international event that draws speakers and participants from all continents and hosts the best-known as well as emerging scholars in the field. The theme for the 20th Annual Lesbian Lives Conference is The Modern Lesbian. The registration is open now.<\/p>\n
This conference has a very rich programme of women presenting their research. I have had a look at the programme to see if there are any presentations of arts related research.<\/p>\n
Friday 15 February 2013 there is one session. The programme reads:<\/p>\n
“Art is Long, Life is Short: Modern women artists, collaboration and legacy at the Victoria and Albert Museum. And in the programme Saturday 16 February 2013 I have spotted an artist presentation by Deborah Wheeler, USA.<\/p>\n This year the organizers are not offering the home stay option for accommodation, but invite you to join their facebook page titled Lesbian Lives Conference UDC.<\/p>\n
