[This section is currently undergoing revision and development. 10/96, Last update 12/15/96.]
Queer Frontiers has generated considerable ongoing interest, queries, and commentary providing the impetus to undertake its revision and continued development. The focus of ongoing content development for "Beyond 1995" is on a queer theorectically focused investigation, analysis and critique of the Internet's cultural and social significance and impact and how it is itself generating a whole new cyber-culture and subsequent cyber-reality. Thus, Beyond 1995 will also experiment -- (link to current research project on Internet commerce) with sites or projects approaching these issues from interesting angles. Beyond 1995 invites colleagial participation through submission of articles, suggestions, comments and project proposals. Interested readers should contact the Editor [waibling@usc.edu to discuss their ideas. The Beyond 1995 Table of Contents.provides additional information.
The site continues to feature archives of the 1995 Queer Frontiers Conference.
