Pratchett may live to regret this interview: "Pratchett finds God" headlines appear to be multiplying.

There's something I can't put my finger on here... I have no idea why completed papers are necessary two months before the conference.
CALL FOR PAPERS
1st International CCCU Queer Studies Conference
Queering Paradigms
Canterbury Christ Church University
27-28 February 2009
Key note speaker:
Robert Mills (King’s College, London): Adventures in the Queer Museum
Conference Aim
The aim of this conference is to look at the status quo and the challenges in the future of Queer Studies from a broad multi-, trans-disciplinary and polythetic angle.
Participants will represent the whole spectrum of academia and will present papers and panels from the angle of Education, Health & Social Studies, Business, Sciences, Arts, and Humanities.
This conference aims to combine and showcase the great range of expertise held at the CCCU in area’s relating to Queer Studies; additionally, a wider range of national and international external specialists will be invited to contribute.
Queer Studies
The definition for 'queer' adopted for this purpose is not restricted to LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender), but holistic along the lines of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's definition in her essay “Queer and Now”:
That's one of the things that 'queer' can refer to: the open mesh of possibilities, gaps, overlaps, dissonances and resonances, lapses and excesses of meaning when constituent elements of anyone's gender, of anyone's sexuality aren't made (or can't be made) to signify monolithically.
In contemporary Western society, we can approach 'queerness' as querying, contrasting, challenging and transforming hetero-normativity.
Call For Papers
Papers and Panel proposals are invited on any area and aspect of Queer Studies.
The proposals will undergo a peer-review process; the Proceedings of this conference will be prepared for a (RAE-able) publication with a major Academic Press (Cambridge University Press has already signalled strong interest).
Proposal abstract deadline: 1 September 2008
Deadline for completed papers: 2 January 2009
Proposals for individual papers should take the form of abstracts of not more than 400 words; panel proposals should include both a panel rationale and paper abstracts.
All proposals should be sent by email before September, 1st 2008 to
Dr Burkhard Scherer (Theology & RS, CCCU); burkhard.scherer@canterbury.ac.uk
