Housing
Accommodations
The
primary purpose of the conference is to explore and discuss a variety of
perspectives
relating to "gay pride" and the creaton of "gay shame." Individuals
from various
backgrounds, organizations, and interests are encouraged to attend
the conference and
voice their views and concerns in the roundtable discussions and panels.
The Conference
will do its best to find housing for individuals coming from
out
of town and on a limited
budget. Many local undergraduate
and
graduate
students, faculty, and members of the
Ann Arbor community have offered their
homes for people to stay at during the
conference. For further information,
contact Suraj Patel at patelsr@umich.edu
