QSTUDY-L 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. Posting announcements about relevant conferences or publications, calls for papers, job opportunities, or anything else relevant to the topic of queer studies is encouraged, though only subscribers may post to the list. It is hoped that QSTUDY-L will serve additionally as a repository for syllabi, bibliographies, and other items of interest relating to Queer Studies.
Formerly queer-studies at ferkel.ucsb.edu, QSTUDY-L changed its name
when it moved to the State University of New York at Buffalo in
July, 1994. Ellen Greenblatt turned over the list to the current
listowner, Andy
McIntire, aamcin0@ukcc.uky.edu, in April 1997.
General Information on using the list:
As an e-mail list, Qstudy-l works by quickly distributing e-mail sent to
the list address It is important to note, however, that subscription requests and
updates must be sent directly to the computer that manages the mail
distribution. Send all requests to subscribe, unsubscribe, or change
delivery options to the list server, It is also critical to use only one e-mail account for all transactions
with the list and its server program. You cannot subscribe from one account
and then unsubscribe from a different one because the list server program
gets important information from the e-mail headers of messages, and they
must be consistent. For this and other reasons it is a very bad idea
to activate automatic forwarding for any account subscribed to an e-mail list.
It's far better just to unsubscribe from the old account and resubscribe
from the new one.
How to subscribe: Send e-mail to the
list managing program at
listserv@listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu. Leave the subject line blank and
include the following line by itself in the body of the message (no
signature files please, they just confuse the list manager program):
The list server will process your request within a few minutes. At
that time, you will receive more information about Qstudy-l.
How to UNsubscribe: Send e-mail from the
subscribed account to the list managing program at listserv@listserv.acsu.buffalo.edu.
Leave the subject line blank and include the following line by itself in

Your request to be removed will be processed automatically
within a few minutes.
